Children can start to add salt gradually after the age of 1 year, but they should not consume too much salt.
1. Due to the imperfect development of the child’s urinary system, the metabolism of sodium chloride is limited, so it is not recommended that the child consume too much salt too early, so as not to cause the child to retain sodium and water, but also may affect the child’s absorption of zinc, resulting in a zinc deficiency in children.
2. Children’s diet is generally recommended less salt, children generally after 1 year of age can begin to gradually add salt, as the child grows older, you can gradually and adults eat the same food to meet the child’s needs for food flavors, in order to reduce the occurrence of malnutrition caused by the child’s partiality, but do not recommend eating spicy and greasy food.
For specific dietary precautions for children, consult a medical professional.
