Children's calcium supplementation is the best half an hour after dinner

Calcium is one of the key elements that determine bone and even whole body health, especially if calcium lacks calcium during the growth and development of children, it is easy to cause health problems.

Calcium deficiency in children usually does not have obvious clinical symptoms and signs. In the newborn period, lack of calcium may occur in hypocalcemia, leading to increased neuromusculus excitement, hand -foot convulsions, laryngeal spasm, and even systemic septic. Some children may have non -specific symptoms such as growth pain, joint pain, palpitations, and insomnia due to lack of calcium. Severe calcium deficiency can lead to bone mineral disorders, and clinical manifestations of scallion diseases, such as chicken breasts, O -shaped legs, X -shaped legs.

If the child has symptoms of suspected calcium deficiency, parents should take the child to the pediatrics of the regular hospital in time, conduct a scientific examination under the suggestion of the doctor, and formulate a suitable treatment plan.

Calcium is generally recommended for calcium carbonate and vitamin D3. Children and adolescents recommend 400U daily intake, which helps the absorption of calcium. The best time for calcium supplementation is before going to bed, because the concentration of blood calcium is the lowest in the middle of the night and morning, which is most suitable for calcium supplementation. Pay attention to a period of time to sleep, preferably half an hour after dinner.

Parents can estimate the intake of calcium based on the amount of milk drinking milk every day, consumption of calcium food, etc. When the level of vitamin D is suitable, children's daily intake of 500 ml of milk daily can meet the needs of calcium; adolescent adolescents need to consume 750 ml of milk daily to meet their needs for rapid growth. Soy products, green vegetables and calcium -enhanced foods can be used as supplementary sources of calcium.

To prevent calcium deficiency, starting from pregnancy. Pregnant mothers should appropriately supplement calcium supplements under the guidance of obstetricians to provide sufficient calcium for fetal growth and development. After birth, breastfeeding is encouraged. Breastfeeding is the high -quality source of baby calcium elements. As long as the breast milk is sufficient, the baby's calcium nutrition is generally enough, and the full formula feeding can also provide sufficient calcium nutrition.

Babies with premature or low birth weight, double or multiple babies must add additional calcium elements. You can use breast milk reinforcements, special premature babies formula milk, or additional vitamin D and calcium supplements to supplement calcium supplementation. (Hebei)
