Drinking juice is a common thing in our daily lives. Fruit juice not only has its sour and sweet taste, but also relatively contains good nutrients. It seems no matter how much juice you drink it will not hurt your body.

But in fact, for many people, there are some misunderstandings about drinking fruit juice. Do you drink juice correctly?

Fruit juice syndrome has long been recorded abroad. If children drink too much fruit juice or other low sodium drinks, it can not only cause hyponatremia and brain edema, but also one of the main causes of malnutrition and febrile convulsion in infants under the age of two. Drinking fruit juice properly is good for your baby's health, but you must not let the fruit juice affect or even replace the normal diet or water. Before eating, parents should not let their children drink fruit juice, otherwise it will affect their appetite. Especially in summer, it is suggested to take no more than 300ml of fruit juice every day.

Some parents believe that fruit juice can replace fruits and vegetables to provide nutrition for their baby. It's actually wrong. Fruit juices in the markets generally contain various additives, such as pigments and preservatives, which cannot be compared with fresh fruits and vegetables. Even if it is fresh juice, the solid residue is often wasted. However, compared with fruits and vegetables, the biggest deficiency of fruit juice is its serious lack of cellulose. Cellulose has many functions and is called "the seventh nutrient" by the medical community. It can promote baby digestion, prevent baby constipation, prevent excess calories, control obesity.

Some parents would heat up fruits juice before giving it to their kids, especially in winter. However, the process of juicing will destroy the vitamins in the fruit to a certain extent, and heating exacerbates the damage to vitamins. Fruit juice should not be heated. It is more nutritious to drink it at room temperature or after refrigeration.

After drinking fruit juice, if you don't pay attention to cleaning your babies’ mouth, it is easy to have an adverse impact on their oral health. Every time after giving the baby juice, especially before going to bed, you should give the baby a little water to wash it down to help the baby clean their mouth or brush their teeth.
