What help is desired: Now, I want to know what symptoms children with calcium deficiency usually have, how to supplement calcium for children, and what foods are most effective for calcium supplementation in children?
Doctor's answer:
Suggestions:① Before supplementing your child with calcium, please first have their calcium levels tested at a regular hospital.
② Do not blindly believe in the exaggerated promotions of certain calcium supplements.
③ Calcium supplementation is not the more, the better. Please take calcium under the guidance of a doctor.
④ Milk is the best calcium-rich food. When heating milk, do not stir it to avoid calcium depletion.
⑤ When making bone broth, don’t forget to add vinegar, as this can help with calcium absorption.
⑥ The night is the time when the body most needs calcium, and it is also the easiest to absorb.
⑦ Vegetables rich in oxalic acid, such as spinach, water chestnuts, and chives, should be soaked in hot water first to dissolve the oxalic acid, otherwise it will reduce calcium absorption.
