Durian is one of the fruits favored by the Indonesian people. Behind its very strong aroma, durian is considered one of the fruits that can provide its own satisfaction after consumption. It's just that, is it okay if babies or toddlers also eat durian?
Can babies or toddlers eat durian?
The texture of durian which tends to be soft makes it available for consumption by anyone. In addition, durian also has high nutritional content such as natural sugars, protein, vitamins, calcium, iron, phosphorus, and others. Consuming it can also make the body's energy increase.
It's just that health experts do not recommend babies or toddlers to eat durian. This is due to its natural sugar content which is very high so it is feared that it could have a bad impact on his health condition.
Infants or toddlers should not be accustomed to eating foods with high salt or sugar content. In fact, especially for babies, their kidneys can only process sugar and salt in amounts less than one gram. This means, if they consume durian, the kidneys in the body will work much harder.
It could be, this will increase the risk of developing kidney disease or hypertension in the future. In fact, it is common knowledge that these diseases can lead to premature death.
In addition, although it tends to be soft, durian actually has a high fiber content. This fruit pulp must also be chewed until it is really soft before swallowing. The problem is that there are still many toddlers who don't chew food enough. If they consume it, it is feared that it will cause indigestion or constipation.
Durian also tends to cause a burning sensation in the stomach. If a baby or child consumes it, it is feared that you will experience a sore throat or insomnia due to this condition.
Seeing this fact, we should not give durian to babies or toddlers in order to prevent health problems for them. Give other fruits that are safer and more beneficial for their condition.
