What should children with high lead levels eat?

Everyone knows about the metal substance called lead, which is a heavy metal. If the lead content in the human body exceeds the standard, it will cause great harm, such as damage to the nervous system, affecting the human hematopoietic function, and the cardiovascular, heart and endocrine systems will be damaged due to excessive lead. Therefore, excessive lead in the human body is a very serious problem. So if a child has high lead content in his body, what should he eat in his daily life?

What should children with high lead levels eat?

If a child is confirmed to be suffering from lead poisoning, we must quickly find the environment and cause of the lead pollution, remove him from the environment, and go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment. In addition, parents should give their children more foods that help excrete lead, such as foods rich in vitamin C, because it can combine with lead to form less soluble ascorbic acid salts to reduce lead absorption. Vitamin C also has the effect of detoxifying lead and promoting lead excretion. Therefore, children should eat more foods rich in vitamin C, such as citrus, watermelon, tomatoes and other fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C. In addition, kelp is also a very good food for reducing lead and detoxifying. Older children can eat some of it, but because kelp is slippery, children should not eat too much.

In addition, some studies have found that mung beans, pig blood, kiwi, carrots, milk, enoki mushrooms, water chestnuts, chrysanthemums, money grass, licorice, garlic, etc. have the function of excreting lead. Therefore, parents should pay attention to feeding their children more of the above foods, which is beneficial for preventing and controlling lead pollution. Next, you should feed your children more foods rich in calcium, iron and zinc. Because they all have the function of removing lead poisoning and increasing lead excretion, foods rich in calcium, iron and zinc include fish, meat, eggs, milk, tofu or bean products, animal liver, animal blood, black fungus, sesame, red dates, walnuts, and seafood (such as oysters and other shellfish).

If the lead level is high, you need to develop a good eating habit, eat more foods high in calcium, iron and zinc to promote the metabolism of lead in the body, and take oral lead removal drugs, such as Zhiqi granules, sea buckthorn emulsion, and lead removal oral liquid.

If a child's lead level is too high, he or she should be given lead-excreting medication. You can use pediatric Zhiqi oral liquid to excrete lead.

Guidance:

Another thing is that you should drink more milk and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. It is better not to supplement calcium, zinc, etc. for a long time.
