How to supplement calcium for children? Many children will grow thinner and thinner, and there are many reasons for their thinness. Generally, there are many ways to supplement calcium because of calcium deficiency. Let's take a look at how to supplement calcium for children.
How to supplement calcium for children 1 1 and make good use of dairy products?
Replacing flour with low-fat milk powder and replacing water with milk are all changes that chefs can make. Cooked milk can also alleviate the discomfort of allergic people to lactose.
For example, when braised beef brisket, fresh milk can be added to increase the flavor. When cream cabbage is seasoned, milk or cheese can also be added. When steaming eggs, milk can be used instead of white water to increase the smooth taste. When eating pizza or pasta sent by foreigners occasionally, don't forget to sprinkle some cheese powder to increase the absorption of calcium.
In addition, yogurt is also a good ingredient. Choose low-fat yogurt and put different lettuce salads or fruits according to your personal preference. Yogurt can also be mixed with olive oil, tomato sauce or acetic acid, and mixed with sauce to eat different seafood or meat.
2. Use more acetic acid
Many people know that when cooking bone soup, you can add some vinegar or lemon to accelerate the discharge of calcium. Nutritionists who specialize in minerals admit that so far, laboratory studies have found that it is still difficult to release' calcium' in bones by cooking with vinegar, but the effect may be better if it is soaked with concentrated acetic acid (that is, vinegar sold in the market) first. But another method is sure to work. Soak the washed or cooked eggshells in a small cup of vinegar. After a few minutes, the eggshells will slowly dissolve, even without any residue, so that you can get 1800 mg of calcium, which is amazing. If you want to increase its calcium content, you can put in a new eggshell to dissolve it.
This high calcium acetic acid can be made into many familiar dishes. For example, Jiaozi's favorite hot and sour soup can also be used to steam fish, and the sour and sweet degree is definitely not lost to Thai lemon steamed fish. If high-grade vinegar is used, it can even be used to mix sushi rice and roll out various sushi dishes. In this way, the whole family loves to eat and will unconsciously eat a lot of calcium.
3. eat small fish and seaweed food.
Like other eastern countries, the Japanese, who are famous for their longevity, don't consume as much milk as westerners, but they can still get enough calcium. "This is due to seaweed and small fish food," Ai Yi Kawada, M.D., explained in the book Calcium Health Law. He suggested that the whole sardines in parent fish, golden hooked shrimp strips, dried fish or canned fish should be eaten, with nutrients and calcium in them.
Japanese miso soup can be described as "longevity soup" because the dried bean curd and kelp in the soup are rich in calcium, which makes people's bones strong. Only by standing up can you live longer.
Besides kelp miso soup, you can also cook Nostoc flagelliforme bean curd soup or laver egg flower soup, which are familiar to China people. If you are eating out, you just want to eat a bowl of simple noodle soup. Don't give up the opportunity to eat calcium. For example, dried kelp with dried tofu with small fish or cold kelp buds are all excellent foods in the sea.
4. Eating snacks can also supplement calcium.
Use dried almond fish instead of potato chips, konjac seaweed or pistachios instead of chocolate or cola, and eat snacks to supplement calcium.
Nutrition consultants of California Almond Association often travel around the world to introduce and publicize the benefits of almonds. I was surprised to find that orientals put almonds and dried fish together. She thinks this is an excellent combination, because dried fish and almonds are rich in calcium, and the calcium content can be doubled. The only thing to pay attention to is its sodium content. Eat in moderation to avoid excessive salt intake.
Other legumes and seed foods are also rich in calcium, such as soybeans, sesame seeds, lotus seeds, red dates, black dates, raisins and medlar, which can effectively provide calcium. So, if you are free, drink a bowl of red date lotus seed soup or red bean soup. If you are really busy, bring raisins or pistachios to satisfy your desire. Roasted black beans sold in traditional markets are also good snacks. As for konjac, minerals are added in the production process, so it will contain calcium, which can be considered.
5. Don't forget the vitamins.
Calcium needs vitamin D to be absorbed by small intestine and transported to bones through blood. Its best source is fatty fish such as eel and salmon, followed by egg yolk and milk. In terms of fruits and vegetables, it is mushrooms. Before cooking mushrooms, you can expose them to the sun 1 ~ 2 hours to produce a lot of vitamin D, and then mix them with different dishes to help absorb calcium.
Of course, the faster way is to bask in the sun. Suntan 10 ~15 minutes three times a week (before10 or after 4 pm) to get the required vitamin d.
6. Give your child calcium once a day:
Oat, brown rice, wheat germ, millet, corn, barley, wheat, Qiao Mai and rye porridge can absorb enough zinc, magnesium, copper, manganese, selenium, cellulose and protein in a balanced way to help the baby grow up healthily.
Children have enough fruits and vegetables every day.
Take as little medicine as possible when cooking, and his immune system will not be affected by external adverse factors.
How to supplement calcium 2 1 for children, and the effect of drinking bone soup is not too great.
As the saying goes, medicine tonic is not as good as food tonic, and calcium supplementation for children is no exception. Dietary balance is the first choice. In fact, foods with high calcium content abound around us, such as milk and dairy products, beans and bean products, nuts and so on. Some people often give their children bone soup in the hope of supplementing calcium. But in fact, this practice not only can't make up much calcium, but also may cause some harm to children's health.
First of all, the bone marrow in bones contains a lot of fat, and children who eat too much are prone to gastrointestinal diseases such as indigestion and diarrhea.
Secondly, if pigs or other animals grow in a bad environment and eat unclean food, some harmful substances will gradually deposit in the body, especially heavy metals such as lead, which are harmful to children's health, and almost all of them are deposited in animal bones. If children drink bone soup for a long time, it may lead to lead poisoning.
It is undeniable that animal bones do contain a lot of calcium, accounting for almost 90% of the total calcium content. But this kind of calcium belongs to biological calcium, which is difficult to separate from bone. Even if it is cooked for a long time, the amount of free calcium that is easily absorbed by people is very small. Someone has done some tests. After stewing 1 kg of meat and bones, it was found that the calcium in the soup was only about 20 mg after two hours, far less than the nearly 300 mg contained in a cup of 250 ml milk.
2. How much calcium should children consume every day?
Children's daily calcium demand will also increase with age. Generally speaking, infants under 6 months need about 400 mg/day, infants from 6 months to 2 years old need 600 mg/day, infants from 3 to 9 years old need 800 mg/day, 10 to/2 years old need 1000 mg/day. Children's scientific calcium supplement method should be to drink more milk and eat more vegetables, tofu, fish and shrimp; At the same time, pay attention to balanced nutrition. Only in this way can a good calcium supplement effect be obtained.
3, children must always bask in the sun to supplement calcium.
Whether it is food supplement or medicine supplement, it is a long-term process, and parents must be psychologically prepared. In addition, sunbathing and outdoor exercise are the best natural calcium supplements, and the sunshine in the morning 10 and at 2 pm is most suitable for children. Even in winter, as long as there is no wind, you can go outdoors to bask in the sun after 9 am. If you are sunbathing indoors, be sure to open the window and let the sun shine directly on the child, because the glass can block the penetration of ultraviolet rays.
