Ayurveda recommends introducing salt and sugar to children after one year of age

Ayurveda suggests introducing salt and sugar to children after one year of age, with specific recommendations for types and quantities. Crystal sugar should be avoided, but jaggery and rock salt are acceptable. Children should be exposed to various tastes from six months old to encourage acceptance of different foods. Parents are advised to offer fresh fruits, vegetables, and dairy after one year, avoiding processed and packaged foods. Fast food should also be restricted for healthy development.
