Baked, fried foods are foods that contain a lot of fat and grease. Therefore, when children eat a lot of baked goods, it will affect their health. When at too high a temperature, it will cause grease to form toxic gases, which can stick to grilled meats. When eating continuously, too much baked goods will lead to a very high cancer risk in children.

2.1. Increased risk of certain cancers When certain foods are cooked at very high temperatures, they form natural chemicals called polycystic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). These chemicals have been linked to the development of several cancers, including esophageal and colorectal. They form when food burns or burns, so you should avoid exposing meat directly to open flames.
2.2. Increased risk of inflammation If you're choosing grilled meats that are cooked at high temperatures instead of veggie sticks, you could be setting yourself up for other problems in your body. The byproducts of barbecue are called advanced glycation end products (AGEs), or glycotoxins. When food is grilled and AGEs multiply and then are digested, the data suggests this can lead to increased levels of inflammation. Too much inflammation is linked to the development of many chronic diseases, including some cancers.

2.3. Children are prone to constipation For many people, the thought of barbecue conjures up images of sizzling steaks and chicken, not asparagus and capsicum. While meat can be part of a healthy diet, they don't provide kids' bodies with the important health benefits of fiber that helps keep bowel movements, well, moving. If you don't balance your child's meat intake with certain fruits, vegetables, beans or other high-fiber foods.

In the process of grilling meat, parents should consider and pay attention to the temperature of the fire to grill the meat accordingly. Because the high temperature will cause the meat to burn and degrade, it will produce chemical toxins that are harmful to the body.
For example, beef does not bake for a long time, because the longer the meat is tough, the more it loses its quality, for foods that take a long time to cook, you can bare it in boiling water, or boil it and then bake it. The best way we use an electric stove, or an induction cooker to adjust the appropriate temperature.

Use foil to wrap the pieces of meat when grilling, this helps the grilled meat to be tender and sweet without losing nutrients when grilled at high temperature. The pieces of meat, before grilling, should be marinated with spices to increase the attractiveness. In the case of using charcoal for grilling, the mother should let the coals burn completely, when there is no smoke, bake the food, avoiding the smell of food.
For children to be healthy and develop well, it is necessary to have a nutritious diet in terms of quantity and quality balance. If children are not provided with adequate and balanced nutrients, it will lead to diseases of excess or lack of nutrients, which adversely affect the comprehensive development of children in terms of physical, mental and motor skills.
