Children's sodium content exceeds the standard, and these foods are the culprit. We all know that eating too much sugar can lead to obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and so on. However, research shows that "food with high sodium content" is also one of the health killers.
The American Journal of Nutrition and Dietary Nutrition recently conducted a dietary survey on school-age children, and the respondents were 2 142. The results show that the average intake of children is as high as 3000mg, which is the most serious among teenagers. The blood pressure of children in19 is higher than normal, and they have hypertension problems in childhood, and there is a high probability of cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension when they grow up in the future.

In addition, the researchers also found that the reasons for the high sodium content in the tester are the following 10 foods:
1. Pizza contains 500 ~ 800 mg of sodium per 100 g pizza, which means that as long as you eat 1 ~ 2 slices, it accounts for half of the sodium content in one day.
2. Potato chips contain about 8 mg of sodium per100g of potato chips. However, potato chips are crisp and mouth-watering, and you often can't help eating them one after another. Soon the whole package will be finished, and by this time, you have already consumed too much sodium.
3. Sandwich contains about 426 mg of sodium per100g of sandwich. If you add ingredients such as cheese, sliced meat and sauce, a sandwich often accounts for half of the sodium content in a day.
4. Bread contains about 4,965,438+0 mg of sodium per 65,438+000 grams of white flour. If garlic, jam and other ingredients are added, it is easy to consume too much sodium.
5. Cured meat contains about 2684 mg of sodium per100g of cured meat. Although bacon has a strong aroma and good taste, it is better to eat less, otherwise eating it often will easily increase the load on the heart and kidneys.
6. The sodium content in the soup is very high. For example, the sodium content of beef soup, sparerib soup and hot and sour soup is as high as 960 mg, so it is easy to consume too much salt.
7. Every100g of tacos contains about 454 mg of sodium. Although it seems to contain low-calorie foods such as vegetables and white striped chicken, it is easy to absorb too much salt by adding sauces and cheese.
8. Every 65,438+000 grams of cheese contains about 6,265,438+0 milligrams of sodium. Although cheese contains high calcium content, which can strengthen bone growth, we should also pay attention to the sodium content when ingesting it.

Diet 4 principle, let children eat sodium wisely. Do you feel a little nervous after reading the above 10 kinds of food? In fact, as long as we grasp the principle of diet 4 and reduce processed foods such as snacks and bacon, we can let children eat sodium intelligently.
1. The normal intake of natural sodium-containing foods includes fresh milk, meat, fish and vegetables. These foods are low in salt, not processed foods, so you can eat them normally, so don't worry too much.
2. Adding healthy iodized salt to the diet is very common in China. Iodine deficiency can lead to goiter, mental deterioration and other problems. So the next time you buy salt, you might as well choose iodized salt, which can absorb two kinds of nutrients at the same time and maintain good metabolism and physical fitness.
You don't need to change to a salt-free diet. Although eating too much sodium can lead to diseases such as high blood pressure, you don't need to completely refuse to eat salt in your diet. When cooking, you can still add a little salt and eat natural sodium-containing food to maintain your body function.
4. Don't eat salty snacks with high calorie. Most packaged snacks, such as potato chips, French fries and puffs, contain too much salt, which belongs to empty calorie food. They are not only nutritious, but also lead to obesity when eaten too much, so they should be avoided as far as possible.
