What should children eat to grow?

Most families nowadays have only one child. Every child is the apple of the parents' eyes. Parents dare not neglect any aspect of the child's growth, and will be at a loss if any problem arises. When children are in the growing period, parents are most worried about their eating health. So, what should children eat when they are growing? What is most beneficial to children's growth and development?

The energy, protein and amino acids required for normal physical growth must be supplied by food, mainly meat, eggs, beans and legumes. Bone formation also requires adequate amounts of calcium, phosphorus and trace amounts of manganese and iron. Insufficient calcium intake and vitamin D deficiency will cause insufficient bone mineralization. Vitamin A deficiency will cause bones to become shorter and thicker. Vitamin C deficiency will cause defects in the bone cell matrix and make it brittle, all of which will affect bone growth. Here are some foods that are suitable for children during their growth period:

(1) Milk is a complete nutritional product. It is rich in protein, amino acids, calcium, phosphorus, etc., which is extremely beneficial for height growth.

(2) Sardines are a treasure trove of protein. You can also eat squid, abalone, carp and fish floss that is rich in calcium and phosphorus.

(3) Spinach is a treasure trove of vitamins. Eating 100 grams of spinach every day can meet the needs of growth and development. In addition, you can also eat more rapeseed, lettuce and peppers that are rich in vitamins.

(4) Carrots contain large amounts of vitamins B1, B2, B12, and niacin. Adding 100 grams of carrots to children’s dishes every day can be very beneficial.

(5) The content of vitamin A, B1 and C in citrus fruits is three times that of apples. Tangerines, oranges, sweet oranges and lemons are all citrus fruits. It is very good to eat two fresh citrus fruits every day.
