A healthy child's body is formed from many " One of them is definitely cheese.. To avoid common mistakes when choosing a dairy treat, specialists from Novgorod-Seversky Cheese Plant spoke about the rules for choosing cheese for children.

Cheese must be natural. The seemingly obvious factor. But many manufacturers add palm oil-based trans fats to the product, which interfere with the digestibility of proteins and fats.. As a result, this leads to various diseases and accelerated aging of the heart and blood vessels, as well as to obesity.. Even if this component is not listed in the composition, you need to pay attention to the cost of cheese: if it is below 160 UAH, most likely, milk fat has been replaced by trans fats. The composition of natural cheese: milk, sourdough, rennet, salt and calcium chloride, which is necessary for better coagulation of milk. All components are easily digested and enrich the child's body with calcium and useful amino acids..

With good financial opportunities for a child, you can choose mature hard cheeses with at least four months of ripening (for example, Parmesan Luigi, Parmesan Maggiore, Cheddar Daniel, Cheddar Classic). Their complex chains of proteins, fats and carbohydrates are split into simpler ones (due to the action of bacteria during a long ripening period), which means that the product is absorbed even more easily.. Also, in cheese of long maturation, the minimum (or completely absent) amount of milk sugar (lactose). This is true for children who suffer from its intolerance.. Young natural cheeses are also recommended to schoolchildren in limited quantities..

Another indicator is the salinity of the cheese.. It should be remembered that the percentage of this additive in the product can reach 0.5 to 5%.. To choose unsalted cheese, experts recommend paying attention to the amount of NaCl (salt) on the package or, if possible, try the product and focus on your taste sensations. Excessive salt is harmful in that it retains moisture in the body, thereby provoking weight gain, and also negatively affects kidney function..

Cheeses with mold (Roquefort, Camembert, Brie) doctors generally do not advise children to eat, otherwise they may experience eating disorders, constipation, vomiting. They can be eaten in small quantities only after 10 years, when the digestive system is fully formed in babies..

It is not recommended to give smoked cheese to children. Moreover, cheeses smoked both naturally and using substances of synthetic origin (for example, liquid smoke) will be harmful for the child.. Smoked meats negatively affect the functioning of the liver and pancreas, in addition, they have a lot of salt, which is harmful to the kidneys..
