Patient's question:
What is the reason why children's ankles often feel numb?Doctor's answer:
Caused by calcium deficiency, it is recommended to supplement with calcium. There are two ways to supplement calcium: calcium supplements and dietary calcium. The most common and traditional calcium-rich foods are dairy products, which not only contain abundant calcium but are also easily absorbed. Dairy products are also rich in minerals and vitamins, including vitamin D, which can promote calcium absorption and utilization. Yogurt is also an excellent calcium-rich food. It not only helps with calcium supplementation but also contains beneficial bacteria that can regulate intestinal function, making it suitable for all age groups. For those who dislike milk or are lactose intolerant, they can consume more alternative foods such as oysters, nori, cabbage, cauliflower, Chinese cabbage, green radishes, kale, and spinach.
