What to eat for infants and young children with zinc deficiency

During the development of a child, a very young child may have symptoms of zinc deficiency. Once a child is zinc deficient, he or she will have many discomforts. For example, the child does not like to eat. Many parents think that the child's refusal to eat is a phenomenon of picky eating. It may be, but it may also be caused by the child's zinc deficiency. After the child is zinc deficient, he or she will be particularly tired and sleepy, and even have yellow hair. So what should infants and young children eat if they are zinc deficient?

Yeast zinc and other nutrients are very suitable for human absorption and utilization after being biotransformed by yeast.

Zinc deficiency in children is mainly related to diet. For example, during breastfeeding, the baby is not given zinc-containing complementary foods in time; the zinc content in plants is less than that in meat, eggs and milk. If children have picky eating habits, anorexia, drink less milk or do not eat chicken, fish, meat or eggs, they are also prone to zinc deficiency. In addition, some children suffer from long-term intestinal diseases, such as chronic diarrhea, which can also hinder zinc absorption.

The effective way to prevent zinc deficiency in children is to promote breastfeeding, add zinc-containing complementary foods to infants in a timely manner, or supplement with appropriate amounts of zinc-fortified milk powder or milk. Increase the intake of foods high in zinc, such as lean meat, fish, eggs, milk, etc., and correct the problem of picky eating. Children with gastrointestinal diseases must be treated early to avoid affecting zinc absorption. Zinc supplements can be taken if necessary, but the dosage and course of treatment should be as prescribed by the doctor.

Children's zinc deficiency can be compensated by the following four dietary methods:

1. Eat three-bean porridge

Take appropriate amounts of mung beans, black beans and red beans, add a little rice, wash and cook together, then add sweet or salty flavor after it is cooked.

2. Eat pig pancreas paste

Wash and cut the pig pancreas, then scrape it into a paste with a knife. Add a small amount of oil, salt, cornstarch, MSG and other seasonings, mix, steam and eat.

3. Eat fruit paste

Grind the chestnut meat into powder, add appropriate amount of water and sugar to the chestnut powder, or add a little rice grains and cook into a thin paste.

4. Eat applesauce and drink apple juice

Wash and peel the apples with water, then use a spoon to gently scrape the apples into a paste to make apple paste. You can also steam it before eating. If you boil it in water to extract the juice, it will become apple juice.

In addition, soybeans, beef, milk and various fish are also rich in zinc, and children who are zinc-deficient can also eat some of them.

We must pay special attention to improving children's diet, because most children's zinc deficiency is related to the unreasonable diet of children. Therefore, children's food must have the effect of zinc supplementation. When treating children's zinc deficiency, we must also control the children's psychology and avoid children's picky eating. Picky eating is a factor that leads to children's zinc deficiency. Let children eat more vegetables and their diet should be comprehensive and balanced.
