We cannot ignore the dietary health care of young children, because we all know that any dietary problems of young children are prepared by their parents, so parents must understand these common sense and know which eating methods are more beneficial to the health of young children, especially in spring. As long as we prepare the most nutritious food for them, it will be best for their health. The following is an introduction to the dietary common sense of young children in spring.

1. Ensure adequate supply of calcium

Spring is a good season for children to grow, and children's height growth is mainly the result of bone development. The main component of bones is calcium, so children should be provided with sufficient calcium in spring. The amount of calcium a child needs every day is 700-800 mg, and the appropriate supply is no less than 1000 mg per day. There are generally two ways to supplement calcium: one is through medication, and the other is through food. It is best to use dietary supplements. Foods rich in calcium include sesame, day lily, radish, carrot, kelp, mustard greens, snails, dried shrimps, etc. Then there are pork rib soup or bone soup, which are not only rich in calcium but also help the body absorb calcium. Children should not be allowed to eat too much sugar, chocolate, and pastries because they contain more phosphates, which can hinder the metabolism of calcium in the body.

2. More vitamin C

The role of vitamin C in the human body is to increase the sensitivity of brain nerves, make the brain respond flexibly to stimuli, and improve immunity and disease resistance. It plays a very important role in children's brain and body. Spring is windy and the climate is dry, which can easily cause bleeding. Vitamin C is very effective in preventing bleeding and must be supplied in time. There are also two ways to supplement vitamin C: one is to take vitamin C tablets, and the other is to try to eat more vegetables and fruits containing vitamin C. Such as citrus, apples, tomatoes, radishes, dates, etc.

3. Whole grains and miscellaneous grains are good for you

First of all, coarse grains and mixed grains can supplement minerals to the human body and ensure the supply of trace elements, such as iron, zinc, manganese, copper, calcium, phosphorus, etc. Secondly, they are cellulose and various vitamins, and finally they are organic compounds with special structures, such as aromatic substances, amino acids, etc. Moreover, food diversity is also helpful in promoting appetite, stimulating children's appetite and enhancing their digestion and absorption ability. Commonly edible coarse grains include corn, millet, glutinous rice, mung beans, soybeans, etc.

Preparing scientific and healthy food for young children is the best way to ensure their physical health, improve their immunity, and prevent diseases. Because we all know that only this method is the safest and healthiest.
