The following is the content of children's low-salt diet guidance. Let's take a look.

Children's low-salt dietary guidance 1

We all know that a healthier diet is low in oil, salt and fat. A high-salt diet can lead to hypertension or other cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. According to parenting experts, a high-salt diet is also very harmful to your baby. Let's take a look at what harm a high-salt diet will do to your baby. Some parents think that the baby's food is too light and the child tastes tasteless. Experts say that a high-salt diet may affect the absorption of zinc in children. If you add too much salt to the complementary food, it will increase the burden on your baby's heart and kidneys. It is difficult to correct the eating habit of heavy salt when you are young, and it is easy to cause diseases such as hypertension when you grow up. "In fact, for the baby's very sensitive taste buds, the natural taste in vegetables and fruits is delicious, and these foods also contain enough salt." Experts specially remind that the natural salt taken by babies under 1 year old from breast milk and milk can meet the needs of the body. Parents should never speculate on their children according to their own tastes and add extra salt. At present, the salt content in our family's diet generally exceeds the standard, so we should pay attention to reducing the amount of salt. According to experts, the baby 1 year-old can only eat iodized salt properly. When cooking or making soup, it will be better to put salt after it is cooked quickly or out of the pot. If the baby suffers from diseases such as heart disease, nephritis and respiratory infection, it is necessary to strictly control the salt intake in the diet. The baby sweats more in summer, or when diarrhea or vomiting occurs, the salt intake is slightly higher than usual. The report of American Heart Association shows that the foods with excessive sodium content are mainly packaged cooked food for infants, such as cheese, spaghetti bolognese, pizza, chicken or vegetables, and most of them are ready-to-eat products after being heated in the microwave oven, not frozen foods. In many supermarkets, children's favorite snacks, such as dried meat, potato chips and plum, are marked with high salt content. During the lactation period, mothers should also eat less salt, and the daily salt content of breast-fed mothers should not exceed the standard of normal people-6 grams. 1 gram of sodium is equivalent to 2.55 grams of salt. When shopping, look at the nutrient composition table on the food packaging, and it is best to choose those foods with sodium content not exceeding 0. 1 00g. The amount of salt required by the baby is different at different stages. The specific standards are as follows: 0-6 months, the daily sodium intake does not exceed 200 mg; For 6- 12 months, the daily sodium intake should not exceed 500 mg; 12-36 months, and the daily sodium intake should not exceed 650 mg.

Guidance on children's low-salt diet II Children's diet and health problems;

Problem 1: The additives in food have not attracted great attention. The use of "three essences" (saccharin, essence and edible color essence) in food has national standards, and many children's foods on the counter do meet the relevant standards, but eating too much will cause many side effects.

Question 2: I can't tell the composition and function of food. Many parents often can't distinguish between dairy products and lactic acid bacteria drinks. Lactic acid bacteria drinks are suitable for children with poor stomachs. Improper choice of the two will cause symptoms such as gastrointestinal discomfort.

Question 3: Too superstitious about foreign food. From the results of spot checks by relevant departments, it can be seen that imported children's food is not 100% perfect. Objectively speaking, today's domestic children's food, in terms of quality and packaging, has made great progress compared with previous years, and many of them have reached export standards, so we can't be superstitious about the word "foreign".

Question 4: Use instant noodles instead of dinner. Instant noodles are occasionally used to satisfy hunger when there is no time to cook. Among them, flour is the main food, and after high-temperature frying, protein, vitamins and minerals are seriously insufficient, and their nutritional value is low. There is often a problem of fat oxidation, and eating instant noodles often leads to malnutrition.

Through the understanding of children's diet and health problems, we can't choose children's diet at will, and when children eat, they can't be picky about food, which is not good for children's health. At the same time, parents should reduce the production of some fried foods in the process of choosing food for their children.
