Patient's question:
Child growth is slow. This has been going on for a while for the child. As parents, we are very worried. We hope the doctor can give some advice.Doctor's answer:
Pay attention to your child's diet. Some dietary factors can affect calcium absorption, such as carbonated drinks, which contain a high amount of phosphorus and hinder calcium absorption. Sodium citrate can also accelerate calcium metabolism. Additionally, some vegetables like spinach and amaranth contain many plant acids, which can also impact calcium absorption. Therefore, it's important to be mindful of these factors in daily life. Limit the consumption of fizzy drinks, and ensure these vegetables are blanched in boiling water before serving to your child. Avoid smoking, alcohol, and spicy, irritating foods such as scallions, garlic, chives, ginger, Sichuan peppercorns, chili peppers, and cinnamon.
