If the body lacks protein, some discomfort may occur. Therefore, it is necessary to eat more protein rich foods in daily life, and in addition to adding protein from food, some people also choose to eat protein powder. So is it useful for babies to eat protein powder?
Eating protein powder for babies actually doesn't have a significant effect, on the contrary, it can be harmful. Especially for babies under 3 years old, because the organs that metabolize protein powder are the liver and kidneys, but for babies under 3 years old, the development and function of the liver and kidneys are still incomplete. If protein powder is added to the baby, it will naturally increase the burden on the liver and kidneys. If you want to supplement protein for your baby, you can eat more of the following foods:
1. Eggs
To supplement protein for babies, the preferred food is undoubtedly eggs. Eggs are very common, cheap, easy to cook, and the human body can absorb the protein in eggs well. However, it should be noted that babies under one year old should not eat protein to supplement protein, in order to avoid allergic symptoms.
2. Drink milk
Milk is not only rich in calcium, but also contains protein. If a baby is allergic to eggs, they can choose to drink more milk.
3. Meat
For example, lean meat, fish, shrimp, and so on, all contain abundant protein. Parents can also choose these types of ingredients when making complementary foods for their babies.
4. Bean products
If the baby doesn't like to eat meat, parents can give them some soy products because soy products can complement the protein in grains such as gluten, enhancing the nutritional value of protein.
