Growing Up with Cheese

When I don't like cheese, which I often encounter after the age of 2, I always think of Tom and Jerry, cartoons and telling their stories. Tom, the house cat, and Jerry, the house mouse, come alive in all our memories. The first Tom and Jerry animation was made by Hanna and Barbera in 1940, and 114 short cartoons were shot in the MGM cartoon studio until 1957.

Of course, the hero of more than half of the funny and violent struggle between these two is; cheese.

During the growth and development period, children are divided into two regarding cheese. Those who love cheese and those who do not put cheese in their mouth.

Cheese is a food item rich in calcium and protein. It also contains minerals such as B group vitamins, zinc and phosphorus. Although it is needed at all ages, it is a basic food item that can be considered indispensable in daily nutrition, especially as it meets the daily needs of growing children.

Children between the ages of 4-8 should take 800 mg of calcium per day. Calcium is the main building material of bones. It also plays a role in body functions such as protecting cardiovascular health, healthy functioning of the blood clotting system, development of nerve cells, and muscle contraction. Apart from cheese, milk, yoghurt, buttermilk, walnuts, dark green leafy vegetables, sardine fish, trout, dried fruits, nuts and legumes are also good sources of calcium.

The need for protein is high during the growth and development period. Since cheese is also a very good source of protein, it should be a must in your diet. Additionally, protein sources are eggs, meat, milk, legumes and grains.

My suggestions for making them love cheese;

If your child does not want to eat cheese, do not force him or her, do not be stubborn. However, do not forget to offer cheese from time to time and keep it in front of your eyes.

Babies have taste buds and usually express themselves clearly. Although it is generally beneficial to give cheese without mixing, as with other foodstuffs, small tricks can be used from time to time. Soups, cookies and pasta can be indispensable cheese mixture dishes. If you still cannot feed it, you can increase other sources containing calcium and protein.

1-2 slices of cheese, 2 glasses of milk and 2 bowls of yoghurt a day meet the daily calcium need.

Unsalted cheese should be fed until the age of 1, and then less salty cheese.

Feta cheese is less fatty than other varieties.

I wish you healthy days.
