Nowadays, the pace of life is getting faster and people's life pressure is also increasing. Especially after having a baby, the pressure of life is growing day by day. Therefore, many parents want to use their time more reasonably and choose to eat canned food to save time. Can babies eat canned food?
It is generally not recommended to give canned food to babies, as canned foods contain many substances that are not beneficial to their health. Most canned foods are stored for a long time, so preservatives need to be added to ensure long-term preservation. At the same time, canned foods are usually treated at high temperatures.
And if babies eat food with added preservatives, it will inevitably cause certain harm to their health. Although canned food has an effective bactericidal effect under high temperature treatment, many nutrients are also lost, so the nutritional value of canned food is not high.
1. Canned meat
Most meat has a good color due to the addition of nitrates, which have a significant negative impact on health, especially on the liver of babies.
2. Canned fruits
Although the taste of canned fruit is good, a variety of additives are added, such as artificial colors, sweeteners, saccharin, essence, etc. Sugar addition also indirectly plays a role in antisepsis. After eating canned fruits, babies are at an increased risk of developing dental caries and obesity, while artificial colors can increase the likelihood of picky eating or loss of appetite.
3. Canned vegetables
Many canned vegetables are made using vinegar or pickling methods. After babies eat these foods, they can have adverse effects on their taste buds and digestive system. Pickled foods have a very high salt content, which increases the burden on their kidneys.
