Liu Xuan is an Olympic gymnastics champion, since he has been an athlete, their weight requirements are very strict, so they are also very respectful of food nutrition and light diet.
And after her son Jiu Jiu was born, because of allergies, he was very strict in his diet, and the strictest is salt, and the complementary food she made at home before the child was three years old did not add salt!
Coincidentally, Kunling, the wife of musical talent Jay Chou, also mentioned in a program that she would write some details of adding complementary foods to her mother, which mentioned that children should not add salt to complementary foods before the age of three!
Such a strict and light diet makes many mothers feel strange, because many mothers have added a small amount of salt at the beginning of the child's complementary food, and the mother said to add a little salt, so that the child loves to eat some.
Even if according to the recommendations of the "Chinese 7-24 Months Old Infant Balanced Diet Pagoda", children do not add salt to complementary food before the age of one, but after the age of one, more than 99% of mothers have begun to let go of this restriction and slowly add salt to their children!
As the child grew up, he also began to eat a small amount of snacks, and if he did not add salt to the child, then the child would not want to eat.
Many mothers think that it is not okay for children not to eat salt, after all, children are easy to be picky eaters without salt, and salt can also provide sodium to children, and if they do not eat salt, it will not lead to sodium deficiency in children.
After all, sodium is also a nutrient, and the lack of it really does not affect the health of the child's body.

If the child is so old and does not eat salt, will it harm the child?
Let's see if you don't eat salt before the age of three, will it pit the child?
Liu Xuan's son Jiu Jiu before the age of 4, the diet is very light, when making complementary food without adding salt, Liu Xuan once mentioned that when taking the child out, pots and pans should be brought together, because the child's food should be made separately, and you can't eat outside food!
And her son is now 7 years old and went to school in September this year, and it can be seen from the pictures posted by Liu Xuan's Weibo that although her son is a little thin, his height is still up to standard.
As long as the child's height can reach the standard, the weight can be adjusted slowly, indicating that the child looks good!
On October 6, Jay Chou updated his dynamics and posted the back of Kunling and his eldest daughter Xiao Zhou Zhou.
7-year-old Xiao Zhou Zhou stood with his mother of 1.63 meters, and he had reached his mother's armpits, indicating that he was also more than 1.3 meters tall, which was considered to be relatively tall among children of the same age.
Judging from the dynamics of the children they posted before, the children are also smarter and cuter.
It means that the child does not eat salt until the age of three, can still grow taller, and the child can still be very healthy and intelligent.
Why can children grow up healthily without eating salt before the age of three? Mom be clear
First: Children need very little sodium
According to the Recommended Intake of Dietary Minerals for Chinese Residents, children need 350 mg of sodium per day for 7~12 months, and 700 mg of sodium per day for children aged 1~3 years. The amount is very small.
Second: breast milk or milk powder contains sodium
This sodium can be satisfied through breast milk or milk powder and complementary foods.
Normally 100 ml of breast milk contains about 9.81 mg of sodium.
However, a measurement of the composition of mother's milk found that mothers exceeded the sodium standard of breast milk more seriously.
According to the Shanghai Institute of Pediatrics and relevant departments, the corresponding breast milk composition measurement in three districts and one county in Shanghai found that the sodium content in the milk of Shanghai mothers reached 100 ml and there was 23.2 mg of sodium in it.
You must know that Shanghai's diet is sweet, if the sodium of Shanghai mothers exceeds the standard, then the sodium of mothers in many places is even more than the standard.
According to the sodium content of Shanghai mother's milk 100 ml has 23.2 mg, then the child can provide nearly 200 mg of sodium by drinking 800 ml a day.
Milk powder also contains a certain amount of sodium.
Third: Natural foods contain sodium
Some of our common foods are not low in sodium.
100 grams of wheat flour contains 3.1 mg of sodium, if it is for children to eat ordinary hanging noodles, the sodium content will be higher, 100 grams contain thousands of milligrams of sodium.
100 grams of natural sweet potatoes contain 70.9 mg of sodium.
100 grams of soybeans contain 13.8 mg of sodium, 100 grams of curd bamboo contain 27.1 mg of sodium, 100 grams of carrots contain 20.7 mg of sodium, and 100 grams of red radish contains 111.2 mg of sodium.
100 grams of soybean sprouts contain 28.3 mg of sodium. 100 grams of bok choy contain 132.2 mg of sodium.
100 grams of Artemisia annua contain 161.3 mg of sodium. 100 grams of nori contains 710.5 mg of sodium.
100 grams of raisins contain 19.1 mg of sodium.
Nuts are richer in sodium.
100 grams of pecans contain 250.7 mg of sodium, 100 grams of cooked pine nuts contain 666 mg of sodium, and 100 grams of ripe pistachios contain 756.4 mg of sodium.
100 grams of pork contains 53.9 mg of sodium. A 100-gram luncheon meat contains 528.7 mg of sodium.
100 grams of duck liver contains 87.2 mg of sodium.
100 grams of eggs contain 131.5 mg of sodium and 100 grams of sea shrimp contain 302.2 mg of sodium. 100 grams of cod contain 130.3 mg of sodium.
Children need 700 mg of sodium per day between the ages of one and three.
For example, a child eats an egg about 80 grams a day to provide 100 mg of sodium, plus 50 grams of shrimp can provide 150 mg of sodium, plus 600 ml of breast milk or milk powder can provide 100 mg of sodium, plus 100 grams of Chinese cabbage has 132.2 mg of sodium, 100 grams of sweet potatoes can provide 70.9 mg of sodium.
100+150+100+132.2+70.9≈550 mg of sodium. Without calculating the sodium of rice noodles, and giving children some nuts with higher sodium content, 700 mg of sodium per day is actually enough.
So children don't eat salt until the age of three, in fact, there is really not much problem.
The book "Food Nutrition and Hygiene" mentions that food is rich in sodium and will not cause deficiency, and sodium deficiency is mainly caused by disease!
Therefore, if the child does not eat salt before the age of three, it will not affect the child's health!
It may also help the child create good eating habits, resulting in the child being able to eat lightly in the future.
If mothers can't do not eat salt before the child is three years old, then at least the child does not eat salt before the age of one, and the child should control salt every day when he is 1~3 years old, and the daily salt intake can be controlled at one gram is the best, and it is best to limit it to two grams if it cannot be controlled.
Because one gram of salt provides 533 mg of sodium, plus sodium in daily food, 700 mg of sodium per day is enough for a child.
And let the child form a light eating habits from an early age, the health benefits to the child are very many, such as adult hypertension is likely to be caused by a high-salt diet, children eat less salt from an early age, the risk of high blood pressure can be greatly reduced.
