What should children eat to supplement nutrition?

What should children eat to supplement nutrition? I believe that such a topic is always controversial among parents. If the child's body is not supplemented with nutrition, then when the child is malnourished, it will cause great harm to the child's body. When the child is malnourished, he will not grow up, and malnutrition will also reduce immunity and make the child more susceptible to illness. So what is the most nutritious food for children?

Premature babies should start taking calcium supplements 2 weeks after birth, while full-term babies should start taking calcium supplements after one month. It is recommended to continue taking calcium supplements until the age of 2 or 3 years.

There is also the problem of absorption when supplementing calcium. No matter how much you take, it will be useless if it is not absorbed. At the same time, supplementing AD (cod liver oil) can help calcium absorption and prevent rickets. Getting more sun exposure will also help calcium absorption. Be sure to go outdoors and not through glass, because ultraviolet rays cannot penetrate glass.

In addition, the imperfection of the infant's gastrointestinal system will also affect absorption. It is recommended to supplement some beneficial intestinal bacteria while supplementing calcium, such as Mami Love, Biostime, etc. (don't worry, beneficial bacteria are not medicine, the more the better). The imperfection of the gastrointestinal system is also the root cause of childhood eczema. Therefore, for most children's diseases, improving the gastrointestinal tract is the key. The most common calcium supplements are "Golden Cudgel L-Lactate Calcium Granules" and "Aier Calcium Granules".

Some mothers think that cod liver oil is vitamin D, and taking a few more drops will only do good and no harm. Little do people know that excessive intake of vitamin A or D can cause poisoning. Acute poisoning of vitamin A and D in children can cause increased intracranial pressure, headache, nausea, vomiting, irritability, lack of energy, and bulging anterior fontanelle, which are often mistaken for meningitis. Symptoms of chronic poisoning include loss of appetite, fever, diarrhea, erosions at the corners of the mouth, hair loss, itchy skin, anemia, polyuria, etc. If you find the above symptoms, stop taking cod liver oil, avoid sun exposure, and go to the hospital for emergency treatment immediately.

Note that calcium supplements should not be mixed with milk. Because when calcium powder is mixed with milk, the milk will clump into small lumps, affecting absorption. Calcium and cod liver oil should be taken half an hour after feeding. After the age of 2 or 3, children's growth rate slows down and their outdoor activities increase, so they generally do not need to take vitamin D anymore.

Supplementing yogurt with preschool children can increase their physical development (height, weight) rate and bone mineralization (bone length, bone density) rate, and reduce the incidence of digestive and respiratory infectious diseases in children, further ensuring the normal growth and development of children. It is suggested that the growth and nutritional status of preschool children in my country can be improved by increasing their yogurt intake.

If you want your child to have more nutrition and better resistance, in addition to adding nutritious food to your child, you should also let your child exercise more and start exercising from an early age. This way, after the child develops a habit, he or she will stick to it, and the child's body will be better. When supplementing nutrition for your child, it is recommended to give your child more eggs and shrimp.
