How to read the childish food labels right?
I always think much about every buy, even if it is a pack of napkins bought as a present for the birthday party of my aunt from Georgia. But the real attention to the well-founded choice has come to me after my niece birth: looking at my light-minded relatives buying all the colored jars with remedies I decided not to wait when the childish food order comes and took a bravery with myself to explain my relatives about the responsibility of making choice man.
The short talk to the young parents explained the following: there is much information about different brands of childish food and products but it is hard and non always to understand what the difference from each other is. Of course any booklet about childish food has its own words about high quality good taste and the biggest profit of this brand.
But if the advertisement booklets do not give a full picture about offered product – what to read then? Books and magazines for parents? – Yes. But there is an origin of the objective information which you need to write first of all. It is the back side of that jar label which will begin the baby traveling on the road of taste.
Let s see if you choose the one ingredient vegetable mash for example pumpkin mash? What does it have to be consist of? – Ideally just that vegetable which is on the front side of the label and water helping this vegetable to be cooked. If you see the long list of ingredients ( rice flour, starch, oil, other fruit and vegetable additions non shown on the front side of label – seen that this mash is not one ingredient. The real one ingredient mash is produced from the vegetables of the same type.
Scientists, podiatrists, dieticians advice to introduce the baby with different tastes of mashes gradually – one taste with 5-7 days break. Such stepped method will let mum to follow the perception of every new product and exclude the food allergy and stomach ills. As shorter the list of mash ingredients so it s more nearby to the natural grown product, more safe because painstaking producers grow vegetables without special technology and chemicals.
The examples of right one ingredient mashes can be met on the supermarket shelves. For example the pumpkin mash GERBER mixture is placed in one word – pumpkin. There is nothing in this mash except pumpkin and it means that mama can follow the baby reaction on the new product for 100% and to save him from the food allergy development then. It is better not to use the products with salt and sugar on the first year of baby life; because even grown-ups are recommended not to use too many such components.
It is enough of salt and sugar for babies which is kept in the vegetables and fruits naturally. Sometimes you can see the fructose word on the label in the list of ingredients. That means that fructose was added in the produce process but not kept in mash naturally. There is C vitamin in many fruit mashes and juices. Also this vitamin is good for health and it helps to digest ferrous for the baby.
If you give such mash or juice with baby cereals rich with ferrous or with meat you make a lack of ferrous in baby organism. Making attention at the label we get the possibility to make a good choice and that means that your child will grow up healthy from his first days of life.
