Moderating salt intake at home
November 17th, 2009
Family members who do not yet understand fully the dangers of using too much salt may not at first be very cooperative. Many of us season our food out of habit or because we addicted, little realising that we could easily do without it.
It is a mistake to add salt to children’s food. Young children do not care for salt at all unless, of course, they have been unnecessarily introduced to it. Even our body eats and loves almost every food that is cooked simply and without salt. It is good to keep in mind that the bad habits we establish in our children’s diets may over the years contribute to the development of disease in later life. By acting responsibly from the beginning we can point our children in the right direction. They will undoubtedly be grateful to it.
To some extent the family cook can help all members of the family to cut down on salt consumption by seasoning the food with other condiments and by using cooking techniques that retain as much of the natural flavor of food as possible.
