Salt is mainly used as a condiment in human daily life to increase the saltiness of food. Its main component is sodium chloride . sodium element is an indispensable substance in the human body, so it has become our daily necessity. But it is also a double-edged sword. In recent years, many experiments have confirmed that salt intake has a certain relationship with the incidence of high blood pressure. Excessive salt intake in the diet can cause high blood pressure. World Health Organization (WHO) research shows that it is recommended that each person consume less than 5g of salt per day to prevent coronary heart disease and hypertension. my country stipulates that adults' daily intake of 5g of salt can meet the body's sodium needs. At the same time, table salt also has the functions of clearing heat and detoxifying, cooling blood and moisturizing, disinfecting and sterilizing, maintaining osmotic pressure and acid-base balance of the human body.
So gays who like heavy flavors need to pay attention! Here’s the key point: It may increase the incidence of hypertension, the incidence of hypertension, the incidence of hypertension. Say important things three times! Some people here may say: " I have liked to eat heavy-flavored food since I was a child, and I like to eat heavy-flavored food where I live. What should I do? It can't be broken! " . Hmm~~This is a very good question, I don’t understand it either, so just ” just pronounce the sentence ”!
Today’s main science topic is how to scientifically add salt to baby food supplements? When it comes to baby complementary foods, I believe many mothers have a set of recipes specially prepared for their children. They think about how to improve the nutrition of complementary foods every day so that their children can grow up healthy and happy. Many mothers should know that one of the precautions for adding complementary foods is: " Infant complementary foods do not add edible salt " ! This is because babies are highly sensitive to salt. Allowing the baby to eat salt too early will lead to excessive intake of sodium ions, which will increase the risk of high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease in the future. Moreover, too much salt will also affect the baby's future eating habits and easily lead to a partial eclipse. At the same time, it will also put a burden on the baby's immature kidneys and affect nutrient absorption.
Therefore, it is not recommended to add any form of additional salt (including table salt, sea salt, soy sauce, etc.) to all foods before the baby reaches 1 year old, and never use chopsticks to stick adult meals to the baby to taste! The hidden salts " hidden salts " ingested by babies from breast milk/formula milk and complementary foods (vegetables, fruits, etc.) can fully meet the needs of the body.
At this point, some parents or elders may be confused or even refuted. We have grown up eating a small amount of salt. Without salt, children feel tired and weak. Or we think that letting babies eat more salty food can adjust their taste and increase their appetite. The above ideas are all wrong.
Let’s take a look at the appropriate sodium intake in the " Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents ":
Example: Feed breast milk or/and formula milk 3 to 4 times a day, 500ml of milk per day, and feed complementary food 2 to 3 times. Research data shows that: the sodium content of 500ml breast milk is about 80mg, the maximum national standard sodium content of 500ml formula milk is 315mg (estimated at 75kcal/100ml), plus the sodium content of complementary foods is about 150~300mg, basically you can reach this age The appropriate intake of sodium is 700mg, no need to add additional salt!
Depending on the foods mothers choose, their babies’ daily sodium intake will also be different. When choosing complementary foods, especially when buying commercially available foods, be sure to pay attention to the nutrition labels on the packaging! Watch the sodium content and eat wisely. Nowadays, salt-free products are highly recommended for infants and young children at home and abroad. It is reported that a certain " cross-eyed boy " LOGO brand Bebe Mama biscuit products also have salt-free formula products, which can be eaten as complementary foods and help children to grind their teeth. Drool and serve as snacks. Its products are exported to more than 10 countries including Europe, America, and Southeast Asia, and their reputation is very good! It can be used as one of the biscuit choices for mothers.In addition, now that babies are healthy, adults should also pay attention to their health. Adults should not consume more than 5 grams of salt per day, eat as little heavy-flavored food as possible, and maintain daily exercise, so that they can always be a strong backing for their children!
Conclusion, whether you are an adult or a baby, for the sake of our health, we must pay attention to our salt intake! Babies should develop a light taste from an early age. As the baby grows up, he will gradually transition to family food. It is best to eat more homemade food and less takeout. The baby's " salt " value is controlled by the mother!
