Spring is coming, everywhere is a vibrant scenery, and we all know that spring is the golden age of children, if you can seize this period, the correct calcium supplementation for children, then the height of children will be more ideal.
Xiao Zhi's height is not very tall, but the height of Xiao Zhi's parents is still ideal. Therefore, Xiaozhi's parents are often grumpy about the fact that Xiaozhi is generally large, and feel that it may be because of calcium deficiency.
No, spring is coming, so Xiao Zhi's parents have begun to give Xiao Zhi a "calcium supplement plan", hoping to seize the key period of spring and make the child's height jump.
Therefore, Xiao Zhi's mother began to give Xiao Zhi stewed bone soup to drink every day, because Xiao Zhi's mother listened to the elderly parents, what to eat, what to eat, the big bones are naturally a lot of calcium content, so the stewed bone soup to Xiao Zhi to drink, Xiao Zhi will no longer lack calcium, will definitely be able to grow into a big tall, in the face of Xiao Zhi's mother's behavior, Xiao Zhi's father also feels that it is such a reason. However, does giving your child bone broth really help your child to supplement calcium?
These calcium supplementation misunderstandings, parents should avoid, otherwise it may cost money and affect the health of children
Spring is a good season for heightening, but when giving calcium supplements to children during the critical period of children's development in the spring, parents must pay attention to the use of correct and effective methods, do not hearsay some folk remedies, and avoid falling into the misunderstanding of calcium supplementation. Sometimes calcium supplementation is not done in the right way, which can have a negative impact on the child.
So, what are the misunderstandings of spring calcium supplementation?
Myth 1: Give your child a lot of bone broth
The saying that bone broth supplements calcium has been widely spread in the anecdote, and many people think that bone broth is nutritious, calcium supplementation, and will make children grow taller.
But in fact, the bone broth calcium supplement is a bit exaggerated, because the calcium content of bone broth is not as high as the calcium content of some usual high-calcium foods, and the nutrition inside is also very limited, most of which is mainly water, and bone broth may also contain a lot of fat and purines and other substances, these things are actually not very friendly to the child's body.
For example, fat, a small amount of intake is OK, but a large amount of intake will indirectly affect the height of the child, because it will cause the child to gain weight. Therefore, drinking bone broth is not a good means of calcium supplementation.
Myth 2: Give your child "milk"
Milk calcium supplementation is a well-known thing, and milk also contains many nutrients that children need to develop. Therefore, it is a more correct way to give children milk calcium supplementation. However, many parents now have a wrong understanding of "milk".
Real milk
There are only two kinds of real milk, one is called pure milk and the other is called fresh milk. Pure milk is sterilized with high temperature, fresh milk is pasteurized, these two kinds of milk are milk in the true sense, give children to drink these two kinds of milk, can be a good supplement of calcium, help children grow tall.
In addition, there is a pure milk, called raw milk, this milk is just milked from the cow a kind of milk, not sterilized by high temperature, may contain a large number of germs, can not be directly to the child to drink, even if you take it home to boil is not recommended for the child to drink, because their own high temperature disinfection does not have a certain standard, it is likely to be incomplete disinfection.
For this matter, it should not be sloppy, once the child is infected, it will seriously affect the health of the child, and even threaten the child's life.
Not the "milk" of milk
Now there are more dairy products, many look like milk "milk", in fact, is not milk, after the child drinks, it is likely to not achieve the effect of calcium supplementation, some "milk" will also affect the health of children.
Our common "milk" that is not milk has "milk drinks", "milky drinks", "lactic acid bacteria drinks", "sour milk", etc., these drinks have almost no milk calcium supplementation effect.
Some dairy products such as "modulated milk" and "reconstituted milk" are mostly not as effective as pure milk and fresh milk, because they are not pure milk.
Myth three: only calcium supplementation, do not consider absorption
Children grow taller is definitely to supplement calcium, so many parents, in the spring when preparing to give their children calcium supplements, often only add calcium to their children, but do not consider the absorption of calcium at all.
You know, if calcium is not absorbed, even if it is useless to supplement the child with more calcium, how much to make up, how much to discharge, and sometimes excessive calcium supplementation may also cause health problems such as stones, so when supplementing calcium, you can not simply supplement calcium, but also need to consider the child's absorption problems.
Since spring is coming, we parents need to seize this opportunity to give our children the right calcium supplement.
How to seize the golden season of spring to supplement calcium for children?
Increase the intake of calcium-containing foods: In the daily diet, parents can appropriately expand the proportion of calcium-containing foods and use food to supplement their children with calcium. Common calcium supplements include dairy products, legumes, leafy vegetables, seafood and eggs.
Pay attention to calcium absorption problems: Simple calcium supplementation may cause poor absorption. Therefore, when supplementing calcium, parents also need to supplement their children with vitamin D in an appropriate amount, so that calcium can be well absorbed by the child's body.
Note that children of different ages also have different calcium intake: in general, the daily calcium intake limit of infants in infancy is less than 1500 mg, and the daily calcium intake of preschool and adolescents is within 2000 mg. Parents should pay attention to the appropriate amount of calcium supplementation, any nutritional supplement is just right, calcium supplementation is not a good thing.
Write at the end
Allowing children to have a proud height is a big wish of many parents, and to achieve this wish, parents need to grasp the timing of their children's development and the correct method of calcium supplementation, so that children can grow tall smoothly.
