Spring health care methods for children

During the Spring Festival, not only adults but children as well need to take care of their health, because children have relatively low immunity. The following article will introduce to you methods of keeping children healthy in spring. It is not only simple, but also can popularize knowledge to parents.

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. Take more vitamin C

The function 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.

After learning about children's health care in spring, you can feed your children some meat and vegetable meals in daily life. When the Spring Festival comes, you can feed your children some fresh fruits and vegetables to improve their immunity.
