Although a 2-year-old baby can eat a certain amount of salt, it does not mean that such a large child can eat more salt. If a child eats too much salt, it will definitely lead to various symptoms. So, what are the symptoms of a 2-year-old baby eating too much salt? Let's learn about the symptoms of excessive salt intake in children of this age.
1. If a child consumes too much salt while eating, the burden on their kidneys will naturally increase, and the health of the kidneys will be affected. The burden on the heart will become heavier, leading to abnormal problems such as edema and hypertension.
2. If children eat too much salt, it can easily cause them to be troubled by cold problems. Why is this happening?
Firstly, eating too much salt can reduce the amount of saliva secreted in a child's mouth, allowing bacteria, viruses, and other substances to remain on the body during breathing;
Then, excessive salt content can lead to stronger penetration and kill normal bacteria on the human respiratory tract. Some pathogens naturally have an opportunity to take advantage of this, and children are also prone to upper respiratory tract abnormalities;
In addition, excessive salt content may also lead to the proliferation of respiratory mucosa in humans, which can weaken their ability to fight diseases.
3. In addition to the aforementioned effects, relevant studies have also found that if the concentration of sodium in a child's blood is relatively high, their height will also become shorter, which is closely related to the absorption of calcium.
