Under the doctor's careful examination, I found nothing wrong, so I think it may be because I have been exposed to too much sun recently.
But after half a month, the baby suddenly burst into tears when she saw her mother pick her up in kindergarten. It turns out that the kindergarten students said that the baby was pockmarked and ugly.
Mother looked carefully and saw that the spots on the baby's face were much more than before, and the color was darker than before. It felt very wrong. After calming the baby's mood, she took the child to a professional children's hospital the next day.
Only after careful inquiry did the doctor know that the chief culprit of the child's long spots on his face was salt. The baby's taste is the same as dad's. They are all very heavy and like salty food.
However, I didn't expect that eating salt is really a big deal now. So many spots on the face of such a small child will bring an indelible shadow to the child's mind. After listening to the results, the baby mother immediately quarreled with her husband: "I told you from the beginning that you didn't listen to it for a change. It's good that your daughter has been hurt like this now. Are you satisfied? " "
When eating too much salt, due to osmotic pressure, the water in the body tissue will decrease, and the water discharged from the body will increase, which is not conducive to the water retention of the skin. Too much salt will not only make your face dark yellow, but also make your cheeks freckled. If you eat too much animal fat and protein at the same time, it will affect the normal metabolism of the liver and make freckles more conspicuous.
Is salt so harmful to children? ! Salt is an indispensable condiment in our life, but eating too much salt is not only harmful to our health, but also directly affects our appearance. The following are the hazards of eating more salt.
Short stature 1 may be related to eating more salt. A high-salt diet will affect the absorption of calcium. According to research, the higher the sodium concentration in children's blood, the shorter they are. Because children's absorption rate of sodium is higher than that of adults, even if the sodium concentration in blood is normal, the accumulation degree of sodium is different, and the influence on nervous system and kidney is different. At the same time, the increase of sodium concentration will affect the metabolism of calcium and make the body grow slowly and short.
Leading to decreased resistance. Do adults get thirsty when they eat too much salt? This is because eating too much salt will inhibit the proliferation of oral mucosal epithelial cells, reduce oral saliva secretion, and the corresponding lysozyme will also decrease, so all kinds of bacteria are more likely to grow in the upper respiratory tract. The same is true for babies who eat too much salt. In addition, due to the osmotic effect of salt, it will kill the normal parasitic bacteria in the baby's upper respiratory tract, resulting in bacterial imbalance, so you can't blame the baby for often getting sick.
3 affect the baby's intellectual development. Excessive salt intake will affect the absorption of zinc by human body, and zinc is very important for promoting children's brain and intelligence development, enhancing immunity and improving taste and appetite.
4 The kidney development of the baby with impaired renal function is not perfect enough to penetrate too much salt. If too much salt is added to the complementary food, it will increase the burden on the baby's kidneys and the burden on the heart, thus damaging the functions of the kidneys and the heart. Moreover, the eating habits of heavy salt in youth are not easy to correct, and the eating habits of heavy salt are easy to cause diseases such as high blood pressure.
It can also cause headaches. People who eat 8 grams of salt every day have more headaches 1/3 times than those who eat 4 grams of salt. No matter what food you eat, as long as you eat too much salt, you will have the same reaction. This study confirms that eating more salt may be closely related to headache.
6 colds are more likely to come to the door because high concentration of salt can inhibit the activity of respiratory cells and inhibit their disease resistance; At the same time, it can also reduce saliva and lysozyme in the mouth, and increase the chance of upper respiratory tract virus and bacterial infection.
How much salt should children eat every day? Excessive salt intake is so harmful to children, so how much salt should children eat every day?
According to the reference intake of dietary nutrients for China residents, the recommended daily intake of sodium for children is as follows:
As can be seen from the above table, the sodium content required by babies under one year old is very small, while the sodium contained in formula milk or breast milk is enough to meet the daily needs of babies. After one year old, complementary food also contains sodium. You can eat it with adults, but try to put less salt. After 2 years old, almost all my teeth have grown. When eating with adults, we should adhere to the standard of less salt. It's okay for the whole family to cook a light meal. 4~6 years old, children should not consume more than 3 grams of salt every day except the sodium provided by the food itself. The total daily salt intake of 7~ 1 1 year should not exceed 6 grams.
1g How much is the salt? Maybe 1g salt is much less than you think. Generally speaking, 1g salt is about the size of two peas. In order to make parents more clear, the amount of salt in 1g, 2g and 3g is measured in the following figure.
1g comparison of salt and dime (1~3 years old maximum daily salt intake) 2g salt (this is the maximum daily salt intake of children aged 4~6 years old) has been weighed with a spoon minus the weight!
3g Salt Sometimes, we may put a little more salt in a dish than this, and with seasonings such as soy sauce and chicken essence, the taste will get heavier and heavier. It is recommended to use a measuring spoon with a fixed scale at home. Add salt as much as possible after cooking, and let the salt adhere to the surface of the food to increase the taste.
Put less salt, so how can we make the food still delicious? 1 Natural ingredients can be used for seasoning. It is suggested that mothers should try to add some natural condiments (such as garlic, tomatoes, parsley, onions, etc.) as condiments when cooking for their children. On the one hand, these condiments will enrich the taste of food and make children love it more; On the other hand, these condiments have high nutritional value. So we can try to spice up the children with these things.
2. Cooking with a variety of raw materials. Try to choose a variety of ingredients to cook together. The advantage of this is that the food itself will have a superposition effect. The cooperation between ingredients can not only give full play to the advantages of ingredients, but also bring people a sense of fullness. This can not only achieve the purpose of food diversification, but also reduce the consumption of seasonings such as oil, salt and soy sauce.
3 put the salt out of the pot. When cooking, many people like to put salt into the pot with onion, ginger and garlic as soon as the oil is boiled, or add salt immediately after adding ingredients. These practices will make salt penetrate into the ingredients, which will lead to the use of salt. Too many. It is reasonable to put salt when cooking, so that the salt can adhere to the surface of the ingredients, which has a taste and does not use too much salt.
4 More vinegar and less sugar Parents with cooking experience know that if the food is salty, putting some sugar can make the salty taste fade. This is because sugar can reduce the salty taste and increase the salt content invisibly. On the other hand, vinegar can strengthen the salty taste. If you don't want to put too much salt, add some vinegar to make the original light dishes salty and moderate. In addition, tomato juice, lemon juice and apple vinegar can also have the same effect.
You can have a salt-free meal from time to time. Studies have shown that reducing salt in the diet will naturally make people fall in love with vegetables and fruits. It's not fun to cook yourself a salt-free diet once in a while. For example, drinking a cup of freshly squeezed soybean milk or milk for breakfast, eating a bowl of oatmeal, a boiled egg, some cucumber slices, small tomatoes and other fruits and vegetables, plus a few original nuts, not only reduces the salt intake, but also enjoys the original flavor of the ingredients.
Children are in a sensitive period of exploring the world, and they should taste everything they like with their mouths. How should parents deal with this situation? Let's listen to what Han Yan, executive director of Building Block Baby International Early Education, said:
