Dieta nei bambini: evitare il sale

sale e bambini

La notizia è di pochi mesi fa: un alimentazione ricca di sale potrebbe essere la causa principale dell’obesità infantile. Uno studio della St. George di  Londra pubblicato a febbraio dalla rivista Hypertension ha evidenziato (attraverso l’esa­me di 1600 ragazzi tra i 4 e i 18 anni di età) come i bambini abituati a mangiare cibi salati sono anche quelli che bevono più bibite zuccherate, con un danno raddoppiato per linea e metabolismo.

Di per sé il sale bianco non va demonizzato perché svolge una serie di importanti funzioni: mantiene una giusta pressione dei liquidi cellulari, regola l’at­tività muscolare, interviene nella trasmissione degli impulsi nervosi. Quando però il consumo diventa eccessivo, aumentano i rischi di ipertensio­ne, patologie cardiovascolari, osteoporosi, sovrap­peso e obesità.

Il problema, però, non è solo il sale che si aggiunge agli alimenti ma anche quello “naturale ” nei cibi: se è vero che un ragazzino dagli 11 anni in poi non dovrebbe superare i 6 grammi di sale al giorno (che corrispondono all’incirca al quantitativo contenuto in una pizza) nei bambini più piccoli questa quantità si deve dimezzare o si riduce ulteriormente. Eli­minare la saliera dalla tavola, però, non basta; gran parte del sale che viene ingerito giornalmente è infatti contenuto nei prodotti conservati e di provenienza industriale e spesso anche all’interno di prodotti dolci come brioche o biscotti. Vediamo allora quali sono le regole per consumare il giusto quantitativo di sale:

  • Limitare al massimo l’aggiunta di sale nelle preparazioni domestiche ed evitarla del tutto nei primi 3 anni di vita del bambino, inclusa l’acqua di cottura della pasta.
  • Scoraggiare l’aggiunta di sale sui piatti da parte dei bambini.
  • Privilegiare gli  alimenti (come pane, grissini  o crackers) senza sale aggiunto dichiarato in etichetta e optare per il consumo di alimenti freschi meno ricchi di sale, condendo con erbe, spezie, succo di limone e aceto, che hanno anche virtù depurative.

  5. Just about all of what you claim is supprisingly appropriate and it makes me ponder the reason why I had not looked at this with this light previously. This article truly did turn the light on for me as far as this specific topic goes. But there is 1 point I am not too comfy with so while I make an effort to reconcile that with the actual main idea of your position, let me observe exactly what all the rest of your readers have to say.Very well done.

  19. Hello would you mind stating which blog platform you’re using? I’m looking to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a tough time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique. P.S Sorry for getting off-topic but I had to ask!

  20. My programmer is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on numerous websites for about a year and am concerned about switching to another platform. I have heard great things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress content into it? Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated!

  22. obviously like your web-site however you need to check the spelling on quite a few of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling issues and I find it very bothersome to inform the reality then again I will definitely come back again.

  23. I do like the manner in which you have presented this issue plus it does present me personally some fodder for thought. On the other hand, coming from what precisely I have personally seen, I just trust when other remarks pack on that folks continue to be on point and don’t start upon a soap box associated with the news of the day. Yet, thank you for this fantastic point and even though I do not necessarily agree with this in totality, I value your standpoint.
