Patient's question:
! I would like to ask about an 8-year-old boy; he has picky eating, eats little, poor spleen and stomach, calcium deficiency, and often lacks calcium but doesn't absorb it well. His learning focus is not concentrated, and his academic performance is poor. He often catches colds and fever, with poor constitution. I want to improve his diet through food supplementation, with three meals a day. How should I pair them? (Thank you, doctor, for answering me quickly—how should it be treated and prevented.)Previous treatment history and effectiveness: Not very ideal.
What kind of help do you want: Can you give me some suggestions? Thank you!
Doctor's answer:
To help your child grow tall and strong, certain nutrients are absolutely essential, including protein, calcium, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin D, magnesium, and zinc. Protein is crucial for building and repairing muscle tissue, while calcium serves as the raw material for bone development, promoting growth and enhancing bone density. Therefore, drinking two glasses of milk daily is an excellent way to help your child build a strong foundation for bones. It's important to try your best to prevent your child from being picky about food.
