To help you with this, here Child Care experts
have shared a list of 5 foods that you should not
feed your kids in winter. Meat It would be
great if you can avoid feeding your kids meats
during winters as it may cause throat problems.
Meat is a protein-rich food that can lead to the
production of mucus. Kids may feel irritation in
their throat if there is mucus and this can lead
to many other health problems. So, to be on the
safer side for a few months you can replace meat
with fish or any other protein-rich food.

Sugary foods Simple sugar or sugar-rich foods
are not healthy for kids especially during the
winter season. Too much sugar intake may reduce
the white blood cell count in childrens body and
this would make them more vulnerable to catching
cough and cold or any other bacterial infections.
So, sodas, chemical beverages, candies,
chocolate, cold drinks, and other processed foods
you should avoid offering your kids. Histamine-ri
ch foods Histamine is a type of chemical that
is known to help the body fight against
allergies. According to the pediatricians
of Hacienda Heights CA, in winter, kids should
not be consumed foods that are rich in histamine
as this can also induce mucus production. Mucus
can lead to throat problems and kids may face
problems in swallowing foods. Some histamine-rich
foods are tomatoes, avocado, eggplant,
mayonnaise, mushrooms, vinegar, buttermilk,
pickles, etc.

Dairy products In winter, you should also avoid
giving dairy products to your kids. Try to skip
the cheese, cream, chocolates, etc as these
products again may cause mucus problems.
Moreover, these products contain animal proteins
which can lead to congestion during the cold
months.  Salty and oily foods These types of
foods can thicken the mucus and saliva in winter.
So, it is better to avoid these foods during the
winter months. But if your kids insist on eating
some oily foods like french fries, you can use
vegetable oil instead of animal oil.
