Hamburgers,French fries,potato chips,popcorn,and pizza。There is no denying the foods are tasty。But often,it’s the added salt that makes them so appealing.One result:U.S。kids are eating too much salty fare。
Table salt is about 40% sodium (钠)。Our bodies need some sodium to work properly.But too much of it is not healthy.
A recent study by the Centers for Dia Control (CDC) looked at the eating habits of 2,142 children between the ages of 6 and 18。It found that their average sodium intake was 3,256 milligrams per day。That equals nearly 1。5 teaspoons each day,which is 50% more than current guidelines recommend.
Zerleen Quader is the study’s lead author.“Eating too much sodium now can t kids up for health problems later,” she said。
Much of the sodium that kids eat comes from procesd foods。But potato chips and other salty snacks aren’t the only culprits。There are other sodium sources — like bread and cold cuts — adding to the salt overload。
All this added salt can rai blood pressure and,with it,the risk of a heart attack and other health problems.Today,1 in 9 children has raid blood pressure.There’s good news though。Lowering salt intake can lower blood pressure.
That,of cour,is easier said than done.The more salty foods you eat,the more you de
velop a taste for them。The key to changing your diet is to start small。“Small changes in sodium in foods are not usually noticed," Quader says。Eventually,she adds,the effort will ret a kid’s taste buds (味蕾) so the salt desires stop.
Need a little inspiration? Dietitian Bridget Murphy advis focusing on the immediate effects of a diet that is high in sodium。High blood pressure can make it difficult to be active。“Do you want to be able to think clearly and perform well in school?” she asks。“If you're an athlete,do you want to run faster?" If you answered yes to the questions,then it’s time to shake the salt habit.
