Juice is not suitable for children under 1 year old

Juice does not bring any nutritional benefits to children under one year of age, so do not put this drink in your child's diet. This is a new recommendation issued by the American Academy of Pediatrics on May 22nd of 2017 in the specialty journal.

Previously, pediatricians made recommendations not to give children under 6 months of fruit juice, but then rose to 1 year, based on evidence that the relationship between fruit juice and fruit Increase obesity children as well as oral problems.

Melvin Heyman, a coauthor of the study, said parents are generally aware of the health benefits of fruit juices, but do not yet understand that this drink can not be a substitute for fresh fruit. Contains more sugar and has more calories. Therefore, 100% fresh or canned fruit juices should only be taken in the diet of a child over 1 year of age.

In addition, children should not drink fruit juice in bottles or cups to help children drink easily throughout the day, as well as children should not drink fruit before bedtime.

According to experts, fruit juice does not have the effect of rehydration or diarrhea.
