Children’s health is the most important issue for every parent. Especially at a young age, it is necessary to pay serious attention to what kind of food and drinks they should be given. Specialists emphasize that children under the age of seven must absolutely not drink carbonated water.
Carbonated water contains carbon dioxide, which gives the drink small bubbles and a specific sour taste. For adults, it may seem harmless in some cases, but in a child’s body it has a completely opposite effect.
Why is carbonated water dangerous?
- Bloating and flatulence – the digestive system of children, which is still in the process of development, is not resistant to carbonated drinks.
- Increased acidity – carbonated water strongly affects the gastric mucosa and increases its acidity.
- Discomfort on the skin – in some cases, itching and allergy-like symptoms may occur.
What is recommended to drink?
According to specialists, the best choice for children is still mineral water without gas. It not only quickly quenches thirst, but also provides the body with essential minerals. At the same time, it has no side effects.
Parents should always prioritize their child’s health and protect them from drinks that may cause harm. Because small mistakes made in childhood can turn into big problems in the future.
