Nutritional Evaluation Of Infants And Analysis Of Reasonable Nutritional Factors

Nutrition refers to the process of human body digesting,absorbing and using food or nutrients.It is also the process of human obtaining food from outside to meet their physiological needs,including intake,digestion,absorption and utilization in the body.Carbohydrates,fats,proteins,vitamins,minerals and fiber are the six essential nutrients for the human body,especially for children,who are in a critical period of growth and development,it is important for the growth and development of young children to provide the nutrients and reasonable dietary mix.Through the analysis of one-week diets,height and weight,behaviors and seasonal diets of the experimental kindergarten in Huludao City,the following conclusions are obtained:1.The dietary intake of the experimental kindergarten in Huludao City is unreasonable.The intake is mainly based on grains and cereals,supplemented by the intake of vegetables,livestock and poultry,and the intake of fish,shrimp and fruits is below the recommended intake.This phenomenon is largely related to the lack of knowledge of nutrition by kindergarten managers and parents.2.The nutrient intake of the kindergartens in Huludao City met the requirements except for calcium.Calcium is an important component of the body’s bones and teeth.Long-term deficiency can cause rickets,etc.To ensure adequate calcium intake for young children,kindergartens should add milk,soy products,seafood,dried shrimps and other foods in their diets.3.The function ratio of the three major heat energy nutrients of the Huludao Experimental Kindergarten did not meet the recommended standard,and the function ratio of protein was lower than the recommended standard.This was mainly due to an unreasonable diet composition.The function ratio of carbohydrate and fat is higher than the recommended standard,which is likely to cause obesity in young children.Therefore,adjusting the dietary structure,increasing protein intake,and reducing carbohydrate and fat intake are important ways to ensure a balanced functional ratio of the three heat energy nutrients.4.The protein in the kindergarten in Huludao City is mainly animal protein.Comparedwith plant protein,animal protein is richer in amino acids and easy to absorb.Therefore,the kindergarten children’s protein intake is relatively high.Fat intake mainly comes from animal fat,and vegetable fat does not reach 50% of total fat intake.Therefore,kindergartens need to increase the amount of vegetable fat when designing the recipe.The results of dietary iron source analysis showed that the iron intake of kindergarten children mainly comes from animals,because the iron contained in animals is heme iron,which can be directly absorbed and utilized.Therefore,the kindergarten dietary iron is also relatively high-quality.5.The height and weight of young children are closely related to their nutritional intake.In Ludao Experimental Kindergarten,the heights and weights of children of different age groups are all higher than the standard.The Z-score results showed that in Huludao kindergartens,8.92% of children were undernourished,and they were mainly underweight and growth retardation;overnourished children accounted for 15.32%,and they were overweight and obese.6.The analysis of behavior results shows that children’s eating habits are closely related to the education methods of kindergarten teachers and childcare workers,parents’ behaviors and education methods.Teachers,childcare workers and parents have good education methods and correct guidance to form good eating habits and balance for children.Nutritional intake is crucial.7.After the experimental kindergarten started using seasonal recipes,the attendance rate of children was the highest in 2015-2018,and it was the first time that it exceeded 80%.The results showed that after the seasonal diet was used,the immunity of the kindergarten children was significantly improved,and the possibility of influenza and other infectious diseases was significantly reduced.Therefore,adjusting the diet of young children by adapting to changes in solar terms plays an important role in enhancing children’s resistance and body immunity.
