Children Eat taste Formed Since in the womb

We know that our choice of foods begins early in children. But you agree with the opinion that what we eat while pregnant or breastfeeding may affect the food choices of children after birth?

It is often said that the food we eat as a child will become our favorite foods as adults. Studies show that women are capable of transmitting its preferred food choices to children, both still in the womb or who are breastfeeding. These conditions make children tend to choose certain foods.

Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia, doing one of the best studies in 2000. They surveyed 46 pregnant women, and divide it into three different groups. One group consumed carrot juice during the last trimester of their pregnancy and water during lactation; the other group drank water during the final trimester and carrot juice during lactation, whereas the last group only drank water throughout this period.

After their children were born, the researchers gave two concoction of cereal, one made with carrot juice, and another with water. Researchers monitor and measure how much is consumed infant cereals, and record their reactions. Babies who “enjoy” carrot juice during feeding or while still in the womb eating more cereal with carrot flavor, than babies who do not feel the carrot juice while still in the womb or breast. When the researchers noticed an expression of the babies, babies who consume only water during the study showing a negative expression when fed carrots cereal flavor. While babies who are familiar sense of carrots will feature the usual expression.

Other studies have turned out to support this conclusion; found that the taste turned out to be channeled through the placenta to a fetus or through breast milk to babies. For example, a study conducted in France indicate that children of mothers who consumed anise-flavored drink while breastfeeding will not be anti with anise flavor than other children. Similar study also showed that aromatic taste like onion, garlic, and vanilla, which is contained in breast milk can provide a tendency for children to love the taste of it. What mothers eat can flow into her breast milk for a maximum of 8 hours, so if these foods are consumed regularly certainly influence is also greater.

Well, now you do not have to wonder why Little also like, for example, all types of fish like you. Thus, a real mother to establish their children to like healthy foods and keep them away from junk food. At least, in theory. A study shows that babies who ate solid food and feed will not eat green beans until the mother started to introduce these foods in her diet. This suggests that a mother can help to introduce foods that “bad” into her diet. Naturally this also justifies the term “eating for two” when the portion of your meal increases when pregnant.

However, mothers can also cause health problems. Studies in animals showed that rats eat many foods that are high in sugar, salt, and fat, for pregnant and breastfeeding. Children mice will also sharpen the tendency of fatty foods, salt and sugar.

Food consumed by pregnant mothers and lactating women may also cause variations in the preferred food of children. This is probably not going to determine his diet all his life, but if you want to have children who are not hard to eat vegetables, now you know how.
