How Salt Affects Your Kid
A recent survey states that kids of today's generation are consuming too much salt which means high quantities of sodium entering the system at a very young age. This is a dangerous trend as the effects of salt on health can't be underestimated.
Today's kids consume salty foods like popcorn, crackers, chips and more. Though it may look quite normal to parents, things will take an ugly turn if the kid grows up into an adult who is addicted to salty foods.
The effects of salt go beyond obesity and hypertension; there are so many other health risks and this is why parents should first feed their kids with unsalted foods in the early stages so that the kid will not develop taste or addiction to salted foods at least till a particular age.
Remember that most of the good habits and bad habits start from childhood. If children are given proper foundation at a tender age, they grow up into healthy adults. Buy if you ignore such things during childhood, you and your kids may have to repent later on.
More Facts About Kids And Sodium
How
Much
To
Consume?
Do
you
know
how
much
salt
should
a
child
have?
Well,
the
average
daily
consumption
of
sodium
of
a
kid
should
be
around
1000-1500mg.
But
it
is
a
fact
that
most
of
today's
kids
are
consuming
nearly
twice
that
quantity.
Addiction?
Kids
can
also
get
addicted
to
salted
foods
like
chips
just
like
adults
and
this
can
become
a
dangerous
habit
for
a
lifetime.
Health
Risks
If
kids
continue
the
habit
of
consuming
too
much
of
salty
foods
till
their
adulthood,
the
risk
of
suffering
stroke,
kidney
issues,
heart
issues
and
high
BP
may
increase
drastically
in
the
long
run.
Processed
Foods
Most

foods
are
totally
loaded
with
huge
quantities

this
