Patient's question:
Is spring not the best season for children to grow taller? What can we do? What can we feed the children? Are there any good recipes?Doctor's answer:
Nutrition is key to children's physical growth. The energy, protein, and amino acids required for normal physical growth must be supplied by food, primarily meat, eggs, and legumes. Bone formation also requires sufficient amounts of calcium, phosphorus, and trace amounts of manganese and iron. Insufficient calcium intake and vitamin D deficiency can lead to inadequate bone mineralization. Vitamin A deficiency can cause bones to become shorter and thicker, while vitamin C deficiency can result in defects in the interstitial formation of bone cells, making them brittle. All of these factors can affect bone growth.
