Have you noticed that your children are always picky eaters? The child does not grow up and has always thought that his short stature is the genetic reason? Or even suddenly one day found that their children have fallen below the standard of development? Babies have to go through teething, teething, growing these stages, the demand for calcium is very large. Therefore, if parents find that their children are deficient in calcium, calcium supplementation will be as effective as possible. However, many parents have blind spots on how to supplement calcium scientifically.
The main source of calcium supplementation for children is in the diet, and the ordinary meal can meet half of the need. The other half can be replenished in milk. If the child's diet is very nutritious, the milk source is sufficient and the milk eaten every day is relatively sufficient, basically there will be no lack of calcium. Many parents are a bit blind to their children's calcium supplements, blindly thinking that the more they make up, the better. In fact, excessive calcium supplementation will cause the child's loss of appetite to affect the absorption of other nutrients, which will lead to malnutrition in the child. If the dietary calcium is not sufficient, additional calcium preparations should be taken.
Sunlight is a natural ingredient for vitamin D. Vitamin D increases the efficiency of calcium absorption and conversion. If you let your child receive enough sunlight every day, you don't need to take vitamin D orally, because sunlight directly promotes the production of vitamin D in the body. According to scientific studies, the vitamin D produced by having a child bask in the sun for an hour a day is also very close to the sum of the vitamin D children need every day.
Sometimes a child who plays too crazy during the day will cause him to be too excited at night to refuse to sleep, which will also lead to a short sleep time for the child. In fact, whether the quality of sleep at night is good or not will also affect the absorption of calcium by the child's body. Because the night is the peak period when the human body excretes old bone tissue, the blood calcium concentration will be enhanced by low calcium absorption, so it is necessary to reasonably arrange the time and degree of children's play. At the same time, parents should pay attention to whether the child sleeps at night and whether the symptoms of poor night sweats sleep quality are often accompanied by occipital baldness, sparse hair, fontanelle enlargement, square skull, skull softening, internal bone valgus and other symptoms, then it is necessary to take the child to the examination to confirm the diagnosis according to the results of the examination for treatment of the cause. This may be related to the child's qi deficiency, physical weakness or calcium deficiency.
If you supplement calcium in the case of insufficient hydration in your child, it will also easily cause constipation in your child. Parents should let their children develop the good habit of drinking more water on weekdays. Usually, parents should not only let their children eat more foods with high calcium content such as shrimp and rice skin, lean meat, fish, etc., but also let their children eat more green leafy vegetables and fruits, soy products, whole grains, etc. Because these foods not only contain non-calcium-rich substances themselves, but also help the colon to keep the stool unobstructed.
Parents should not blindly hope for calcium supplements, and usually should take their children to the outdoors to do sports. Because exercise can make muscles pull each other to stimulate bones, accelerate blood circulation and promote human metabolism, reduce calcium loss is conducive to the body's absorption of calcium in the diet.
Some calcium supplement products will add a lot of other ingredients to increase the taste, which is not good for the baby and will affect the baby's taste preference. Therefore, for the baby, as far as possible to choose a light taste of calcium supplements.
Therefore, parents can scientifically help their children to supplement calcium in order to help children rise high and be physically strong.
