Is it caused by school lunches with milk? The worst thing about being a pediatric dentist.One is the child's "crying" mentioned above, and the other is the child's saliva. We will look at the various benefits of saliva in detail in the next section, but Ms. Okazaki talked about her experience of struggling with the treatment while suffering from the overflowing saliva of a child. However, it is said that recent dental treatment has become easier.Compared to before, the amount of saliva secreted has decreased, and it has become unbearable in my mouth. Mr. Okazaki thinks that the cause of the lack of saliva is “flowing food”, which is eating while eating a drink at mealtime. “The human body is designed to quickly dry up the saliva when you pour a drink out of your mouth. In addition, we speculate that the spread of school lunches that include milk is related to the increase in the number of meals that can be poured into the bowl. In other words, the generation that has continued to eat school lunches with milk has become parents, and it has become a habit for children to have a drink when they eat, so the number of children who wash it down has increased. Is it not?
How to avoid milk during meals Mr. Okazaki gave two contrasting examples of school lunches, which are thought to have led to the eating of food poured into the bowl. In the photo below, the school lunch on the left consists of milk, bread, cheese, and risotto in the foreground.On top of that, the ingredients for side dishes are finely chopped, and Mr. Okazaki says, ``Food that encourages people to drink it whole or eat it down.'' On the other hand, the school lunch at a school in Kochi Prefecture (right) includes a whole amago (red amago) that children would bite into and eat, along with large sticks of vegetables and lots of ingredients. With miso soup, brown rice, and apples with skin on, this is a menu that you can chew and savor. "I like this kind of meal" Ms. Okazaki also introduced an initiative implemented at a school in Ehime Prefecture designated as a designated school for the promotion of dietary education as a way to prevent people from pouring milk into school lunches. “When you say itadakimasu, you take the first sip of milk, then close the lid (of the bottle) immediately. I want you to remember this as well."
Miso soup cannot be poured Some may argue that if milk in school lunches is a problem, why not have tea and miso soup at home? It was not something to do, but something to enjoy slowly after a meal. And miso soup with ingredients has to be chewed, so it doesn't lead to eating after pouring. “If the ingredients are particularly large, they cannot be poured in,” says Okazaki.
