Patient's question:
Does your son have a particular preference for beans and bean products? My son really loves various types of beans and bean products, such as soy milk, tofu knots, dried tofu, and edamame. He's not very interested in other dishes. Is it okay for him to have such a preference for beans and bean products?Doctor's answer:
Your son has a special fondness for beans and bean products, which is a sign of a meat deficiency and can affect nutritional balance. It is likely caused by zinc deficiency, often accompanied by hyperactivity. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a detailed trace element check to see if there is a zinc deficiency. If zinc deficiency is confirmed, zinc supplementation should be administered. Gluconate zinc is recommended, along with a diet rich in zinc-containing foods such as fish, meat, eggs, liver, and poultry. The above advice is for the question "Is it good for your son to love beans and bean products so much?" and is hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
