Baby's eating habits should be cultivated from childhood
Studies have shown that cultivating your baby's “taste-less†dietary habits is important for their growth and adult health.
Eating more salt is bad for your baby's health
There is a relatively constant proportional relationship between the various mineral elements in the baby's body. Excessive amounts of certain elements will crowd out other elements, which is medically known as "antagonism." Therefore, eating too much salt, too many sodium elements in the body will inhibit the absorption of potassium, zinc, calcium and other elements, is not conducive to the growth and development of young children.
In addition, infants and young children often have a cold and fever may also be related to eating more salt. This is because: 1, excessive intake of salt can reduce the secretion of saliva, so that the bacteria and viruses present in the upper respiratory tract; 2, osmotic effects of high salt can kill normal bacteria in the upper respiratory tract, so that bacteria opportunity "trouble" , causing upper respiratory tract infection; 3, high salt can also inhibit the proliferation of respiratory mucosal epithelial cells, making it lose their ability to resist disease.
Year of age is the critical period of taste development
The critical period of development of human taste is within the age of the first year, especially between 6 months and 1 year after birth. Therefore, from the birth of the child, we must adhere to scientific feeding.
Breastfed babies can not feed drink salt water or pickle soup, that is to say after the birth of a child not to feed the additional salt within three months, because the sodium ions in the salt to rely on kidney metabolism, kidney and small baby within 3 months The function is not perfect, eat more adult food will inevitably increase the kidney burden.
After 3 months, as the baby's growth and gradual improvement of renal function, can gradually increase salt intake. After 6 months, you can limit your baby's salt to less than 1 gram per day. It gradually increases after 1 year old, but it should not exceed 2 grams per day.
Do not ignore "invisible salts"
When calculating the baby's salt intake, the natural salt content of the food is included in the total salt intake. What is easily overlooked in daily life is that when adults eat pickles, salted fish, bacon, salted eggs, etc., they also allow their children to eat together, making the amount of salt intake exceeding the standard. In addition, some young mothers also tend to neglect the "invisible" salts contained in breast milk or milk, resulting in too much salt in the child's body.
According to statistics, when adults feel salty, the concentration of sodium chloride is 0.9%, whereas when babies and young children feel salty, the concentration is 0.25%, which is less than 1/3 of adults, so it cannot be measured by the taste of adults. Parents should pay attention to reasonably choosing food for their children and choose fresh fruit or puree to reduce the intake of salt and ensure the healthy growth of infants and young children.
