To test the mother's physical function, other aspects can be, but the bone salt is much higher than normal. My mother said that she usually pays more attention to salt, how can it be so much higher?
"You have eaten less salt recently, and you still put a lot of salt in the stir-fry last month, and now we have complained many times before we corrected the amount of salt you put!" The sister took the opportunity to ridicule after listening to her mother's words.
Seeing the high data, the old mother said sternly: "In the future, we must correct the problem of eating too salty, healthy life, you are the same, eating salt is not good for the body."
This sentence came from the mouth of the mother who loves salt, and it was somewhat surprising that the elderly who were more than half a hundred years old finally realized the impact of salt on health. In fact, eating less salt is not only a requirement for the elderly, but also a requirement for every age group, and even for young children, science recommends not to eat salt.
Can babies really not eat salt?
"Can't babies really eat salt"?
Many people will have such a question about the child's salt, on the one hand, because salt is an indispensable condiment for three meals a day, on the other hand, many people do not understand how much salt hurts children. Some time ago, my cousin and her mother-in-law gave the child the problem of eating salt, and there was a "new year's war".
My cousin's daughter, who has just turned 8 months old, is a "snack item". Because of this, the child's grandmother will often secretly add "ingredients" to the child, such as when eating, dipping a little vegetable soup for the child to eat. The cousin negotiated several times, clearly telling the mother-in-law that the child cannot eat salt now, which affects growth.
The mother-in-law does not think so, she feels that the daughter-in-law is a little surprised, and said: Dipping a little may only be 0.01g, eating the undead! The divergence of parenting concepts has plunged the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law into a cold war for a period of time.
After reviewing the information, I found that it is clearly stated that infants and young children under the age of one do not need to take additional salt intake. In the process of drinking breast milk, formula milk, and complementary foods, a certain amount of salt has been ingested, which is naturally occurring and can meet the sodium needs of the human body.
The World Health Organization has issued the "Guidelines for Adult and Child Intake", which writes: High sodium intake can cause some non-communicable diseases, such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease, etc., and children are no exception. Excessive sodium intake can have three effects on your child.
Effect 1: Affects the absorption of calcium
Calcium is a vital trace element for growing children, and if the intake of salt exceeds the body's needs, calcium absorption will become worse.
Effect two: Affects height
Studies have found that the higher the sodium concentration in a child's blood, the shorter the person will be. Many parents disagree, believing that the height of the person is related to heredity, exercise and calcium absorption.
In fact, children's absorption of sodium is much higher, which increases the sodium content in the blood, which will affect both the nervous system and the height due to the weakening of calcium absorption.
Effect three: causes a burden on the kidneys
Young babies, their physical function is not perfect, the organs are not fully developed. Premature intake of salt will increase the burden of kidney metabolism in children, and it will even be serious and even life-threatening.
It can be seen that the younger the baby is really not able to eat salt, if some elders are still stuck in the previous parenting mode, young parents should pay more attention. Avoid the "mother-in-law war", and at the same time manage the child's dietary additions.
How old can a child be to eat salt
Nowadays, parents' parenting methods are becoming more and more scientific, which is a good thing, but it will also bring some people to tie their hands and feet, such as how much salt is appropriate for children? Some parents begin to add salt to complementary foods when their children are just one year old, and some people are not allowed to eat salt when they are 4 years old, and Olympic champion Liu Xuan is such a treasure mother.
In "Freshman Diary 2", Liu Xuan is very strict about her child's diet. My son is 4 years old and not only can't eat snacks, but salt is not allowed in meals. Many netizens said that Liu Xuan was too cautious, and even her husband complained that she was "iron-blooded". But there are also some people who think that this diet is healthier and more conducive to the growth of children.
Right or wrong, maybe everyone has their own set of standards, not to judge, the best way is: believe in science. The "Chinese Dietary Guidelines" pointed out that it is not recommended to add additional salt to babies aged 7-12 months; in 13-24 months of age, the daily salt intake is controlled at less than 1.5 grams; the daily intake of salt in babies aged 2-3 years old is controlled at 2 grams; and the daily intake of salt in children aged 4-5 years is not more than 3 grams. From a scientific point of view, salt intake can be taken after the age of 1 year, but the intake should be strictly controlled.
Tips: What adults need to remember is that don't compare your taste to your child's, your light taste may have exceeded the salt level for the baby.
In the early hours of the morning, mom came to nag:
Salt is an indispensable ingredient in people's daily lives, and many people often over-ingest due to their heavy taste, causing various discomforts in the body. Children are different from adults, they have a strong ability to absorb salt, but they can not be excreted in time, so it is necessary to eat salt scientifically and in moderation.
