As the saying goes, "salt" will hurt the body, so many parents pay great attention to their children's diet, and will not let their children eat salt until their children are one year old.
However, there is no shortage of "nine leaky fish", and some parents simply think that their children cannot eat salt before the age of one, but they do not realize that everything that is salty actually contains salt.
Ah Xiang did a more embarrassing thing when the child was just starting to prepare to eat complementary foods. She did not know that the child could not eat salt, so she put salt in the supplementary food, fortunately, the mother-in-law at the time found out in time, and then told Ah Xiang about the fact that the child should not eat salt before the age of one, at this time Ah Xiang knew that the child could not eat salt.
That time, because the mother-in-law was there, Ah Xiang did not make a mistake, and the child ate a light complementary food, which smoothly opened the road to the addition of complementary food.
In the following period of time, the baby is growing up very healthy.
Ah Xiang is also, the more you look at the baby, the more cute it is, so you want to give the baby the best.
It can be said that the idea of "giving the best to the baby" is universal to all parents. However, sometimes this kind of thinking can be good and bad.
Ah Xiang is like this, once, Ah Xiang finished the supplementary food, tasted a bite, felt that the supplementary food is too light, there is no taste, feel that the baby should not like to eat, and then think of their baby every day to eat this "oligo and tasteless" food, they feel a little sorry for the child.
Therefore, I want to add some spices to the complementary food to make the complementary food more delicious. However, Ah Xiang knows that salt cannot be added, so Ah Xiang did not add salt, after all, Ah Xiang pays more attention to the health and safety of children.
Ah Xiang suddenly thought that when he went to the supermarket before, he bought a certain brand of children's soy sauce, since he could not add salt, then adding some soy sauce to taste, it should be no problem, and this is children's soy sauce, it must be healthy.
Then, Ah Xiang added soy sauce to the baby's food supplement. Coincidentally, Ah Xiang's behavior of adding soy sauce was seen by her husband Ah Mao, who reminded Ah Xiang that children's soy sauce could not be added, but Ah Xiang did not listen, and felt that Ah Mao did not understand anything and knew that it was chaotic.
Ah Mao had no choice but to insist that Ah Xiang would not feed the child, and the two even quarreled over it.
When the quarrel was over, the mother-in-law came back from buying vegetables, saw the two people who were arguing, asked the reason for the matter, let Ah Xiang calm down, and then told Ah Xiang:
"Not only can children not eat salt, but they can't eat things that are too salty, because it contains salt, and children's soy sauce is one of them."
At this point, Ah Xiang finally didn't say a word.
In fact, many parents, like Ah Xiang, want to let their children eat something more delicious, but they mistakenly use their own tastes to measure the "good or bad" of food, and never take into account their children's feelings.
So, why are children under one year old not suitable for salt?
Why shouldn't babies under one year of age eat salt?
"Family Health: Medical Science" mentions: "Before the baby is 1 year old, there is no need to add salt to the food."
Because babies under the age of one year are not suitable for adding additional salt to the diet.
Reason 1: It is easy to increase the burden on the baby's kidneys
Salt is a symbol of "strength" in many people's minds, because in the past, working people would have strength when eating salt.
However, if the salt intake is too high, it will have a greater impact on its own organs, increase the work burden of the kidneys, and easily affect the health of the kidneys.
At the same time, too much salt will not only affect the kidneys, but also affect the child's heart, blood vessels, etc. Medical research has found that the intake of salt is directly related to people suffering from heart disease, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and hypertension.
The study also found that if people reduced their salt intake by 30%, they would reduce vascular disease mortality by more than 25%.
Therefore, if you eat more salt, it will affect a lot of organs.
Reason two: it may cause the baby to eat partially
Your baby's sense of taste is in the developmental stage and is not yet fully developed, so it is very sensitive to the taste of food. In other words, the food that we feel is a little salty may already be very salty for the baby.
Therefore, when the baby is within one year of age, we feel that the food is very light, which may be a delicious dish for the baby.
However, if we add a certain amount of salt to the food, it will cause the baby to have a "heavy taste" and slowly like to eat saltier things.
You know, heavy taste is very affecting eating habits, after the child's taste is heavy, for those light foods will have some sense of rejection, because these foods can not stimulate the child's appetite.
Children will be more inclined to those foods that are heavy in taste, which will cause the baby to be partial to food.
The baby is in a critical stage of development, if this time of partial eating, then it may affect the baby's physical health, interfere with the child's normal development.
Reason three: affect the baby's resistance
Excessive salt intake can also cause your child's immune system to weaken. For example, the child's respiratory tract itself is protected by a mucous membrane, but salt can affect the reproduction of mucosal cells, resulting in problems with the mucous membrane, and pathogens may take advantage of the deficiency to make the child sick.
Not only that, if there is too much salt, it will destroy the balance of the microflora in the human body, and once the microflora has a problem, then the child may suffer from various diseases. For example, diarrhea, etc., many times are caused by imbalance of flora.
3 kinds of high-sodium foods will affect the health of the baby, parents should not ignore
Bacon said: "Man should be good at distinguishing which items are good to eat and which are harmful to eat."
Some foods in life that seem to have nothing to do with salt actually contain salt, and parents should pay attention to it.
Partially packaged noodles
In the market, we can often see some packaged noodles, egg noodles and other noodles, many parents in the child to add complementary food, also like to cook the noodles and mashed for children to eat. However, parents may not know that these ordinary packaged noodles actually have salt.
The main purpose of adding salt to the noodles is to increase the toughness of the noodles, so that the noodles have a better "quality", in general, every 100 grams of noodles, there will be 1 gram of sodium, and this content is a bit high for children under one year old, so parents should pay attention to stop casually giving their children these sodium-containing noodles.
Partial snacks
Salt is usually added to snacks, such as some small cookies and so on. And snacks do not contain sodium, in fact, we can see from the nutrition list of snacks.
In addition, snacks not only contain high salt, but also contain some other factors that are not conducive to the development of the baby, such as high oil and high fat, high sugar and high heat, etc., and even most snacks also add some pigments and preservatives, etc., which are not good for the development of children.
Children's soy sauce
"Exclusive seasoning for children" is arguably the biggest lie at the moment. Many parents believe that children's seasonings are divided by health.
But in fact, this is not the case, children's seasoning is essentially divided according to the "taste", we can find that children's seasonings will be more delicious.
And this, not because it is healthy, but because it adds more seasonings, becoming a compound seasoning.
The most typical is children's soy sauce, the traditional soy sauce is only soy sauce, but children's soy sauce not only contains soy sauce, but also contains a lot of other seasonings, that is to say, children's soy sauce in the sodium a little, and even a lot of other ingredients, its impact on health is even worse than ordinary soy sauce.
In addition to salt, these seasonings are also not suitable for children to eat more, eating too much is not good for health
"Fashion Parenting" mentioned: "Parents should still pay attention to managing the baby's diet."
Because the baby is in infancy, not only is it bad to eat more salt, but some foods are not good for the baby's health.
◎Foods high in sugar
Eating too much salt is not good, eating too much sugar is not good.
Sugar is what children love, because sugar is sweet and can bring good feelings to children. However, it is precisely this feature that can cause children to overeat sugar, and if they eat too much sugar, it may cause caries.
Because the high sugar environment of the mouth will cause the oral microorganisms to reproduce abnormally, and the acid secreted by the microorganisms will corrode the teeth.
At the same time, it will also lead to the formation of obesity, sugar is a high-energy food, children eat too much sugar, but the energy can not be fully consumed, it will be stored by the body, and gradually cause body fat.
In addition, children consume too much sugar, their taste will also change, because sugar has a great impact on the sense of taste, will weaken the child's love for other tastes, which is also one of the reasons why many children like to eat sweets.
◎Foods that are easy to be sensitive
Children under the age of one year are weak in their own constitution, and the gastrointestinal and other tissues are not fully developed, so not all foods can be accepted, especially some foods that are easy to be sensitive.
For example, eggs (egg whites), pineapple (pineapple enzyme), milk (lactose), etc., these foods may not have any problems in normal people, but for children under the age of one, it is a taboo food, because the child's gastrointestinal development is not complete, it is easy to have allergies.
◎Irritating foods
Irritating food, that is, some sour and spicy food, fried food, etc., these foods for the senses of irritation is very large, not only stimulate the sense of taste, but also stimulate the mouth, smell, etc., some even eat into the stomach will also stimulate the esophagus, stomach and so on.
Adults can enjoy this feeling, but children can't, if the physical fitness of the baby is very weak if you eat irritating food, it is easy to have gastrointestinal and other digestive problems.
Write at the end
Baby diet can not be underestimated, only carefully, scientifically, objectively prepare a healthy diet for children, children can grow up healthily.
