What are the symptoms of calcium deficiency in children?

The human body contains more than 60 elements, including 11 essential quantitative elements and more than ten trace elements. The lack of any one of these elements will have an impact on the body and may even cause disease. The human body generally absorbs the various necessary elements through food. If you know which element the body lacks, you can just eat food that contains slightly more of that element.
