Benefits of olive oil for children

Olive oil is an item that is often used in our daily life. Unlike rapeseed oil, if you use olive oil to cook food, the food will taste better than food cooked with rapeseed oil. Some people may be curious, will olive oil have any impact on children’s health? In fact, there is no age limit for olive oil. If children eat food made with olive oil on a regular basis, it will be good for their health.

1. Protect your baby's delicate skin. As soon as the baby is born, its skin is extremely delicate. You can apply a layer of olive oil every day to protect the skin. Olive oil is very gentle and will not irritate the skin. Plus, gentle massage will soothe the little one, making it easier for the baby to fall asleep and cry less. Babies have delicate skin. Applying olive oil on the armpits, buttocks, etc. can prevent the baby's skin from getting red from sweat or urine.

2. Olive oil is the safest for making baby food: When the baby can add complementary foods (rice paste, porridge, vegetable puree, meat puree, soup, you can add one or two drops of olive oil) it helps the baby balance the metabolism, and at the same time promotes the growth and development of the infant's nervous system, bones and brain. Based on its composition and digestibility, olive oil is the most suitable oil for infants. Scientific research shows that half of a baby's calories come from the fat in breast milk. After weaning, the required calories must be obtained through the fat in the diet. The ratio of linolenic acid and linoleic acid in olive oil, which cannot be synthesized by the human body, is similar to that in breast milk and is extremely easy to absorb. It is an excellent nutritional supplement and fetal growth agent for pregnant women, and a good tonic for postpartum and lactation periods.

Olive oil is not only for adults to consume. Children can also consume olive oil, and it is also good for children's health. Food made with olive oil is easier for children to digest and less likely to cause them to get irritated. So you can feed your children food made with olive oil. I hope this can help everyone.
