Food Flavour as Influence Factor for Balanced Diet for Children

Abstract

Athiology of some health disorders and diseases, such as obesity, cardio vascular diseases, diabetes and malignant diseases, can be linked to unbalanced diet started from the earliest days of life. For that reasons, it is very important to adopt proper diet patterns from the earliest days of life. There are few factors infl uencing choice of food. Food fl avoure is one among them. Understanding mechanisms, which later make infl uence how to accept or reject some food in children, in intrauterine development phase, and after birth period, is of vital signifi cance when we create healthy habbits for children and adult diets. FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE CHOICE OF FOODResearch actually shows tendency to specifi c type of food, more acurate fl avour of food what can be congenital or acquired. It is concluded that tendency for sweet fl avour, just like repulse toward bitter and sour fl avour, exists from the child birth.

We can not make infl uence on acquired tendency, in a way to create healthy habbits in children diet. However, acquired tendency to some food is something that parents can make infl uence in a way to create healthy habbits in childrens, and in some point of view it is parent duty.Key impuls for food consumption is hunger, but type of food we choose, is not defi ned exclusively by physiological or nutritive requirements. Some of the factors for food selection in our diet are:• biological factors (hunger, appetite, fl avour), • economical factors (price, availability), • physical factors (art of cooking, time for food preparation), • social factors (culture, tradition, family, age, society),
