Therefore, many parents pay great attention to calcium supplementation for their children, and milk is generally the first choice. But some children who are lactose intolerant are unfortunate. They can't get calcium from ordinary milk. So what is the solution?
Xiao Zhang has always been worried about the height of his youngest son, because the child has lactose intolerance and had to eat special hydrolyzed milk powder when he was a child.
However, with the growth of age, infant milk powder can no longer be drunk, and ordinary milk can't be drunk at all. How to supplement calcium for children has become a heart disease for her, for fear that her son who doesn't drink milk won't grow tall.
So she found a nutritionist, looked up a lot of information on the Internet, and finally found a small expert in calcium supplementation-tofu.
Tofu is rich in plant protein and calcium, which is not lost to milk at all. And compared with milk, it is easy to make dishes with various flavors.
Although some children are not lactose intolerant, they don't like to drink milk, so eating tofu dishes is also a good choice.
For example, fried tofu is especially popular with children. Dip white tofu in a layer of starch first, then wrap it in egg liquid and fry it on low heat. Until both sides turn golden. You can also add some shallots and minced garlic and stew it again. It is delicious.
Of course, besides diet, there are many other ways to supplement calcium for parents to choose from. Multi-pronged approach, I believe that children's height development can be better guaranteed.
1, sleep more and have a good sleep.
In fact, sleep is a very critical factor for a child's height. Because what children need most to grow taller is growth hormone, and the most time for growth hormone secretion is at night, accounting for almost half of the whole day.
This is why experts suggest that children sleep for 10- 12 hours and students sleep for 9 hours. Children's sleep time cannot be guaranteed, and their height will definitely be affected.
At the same time, the quality of children's sleep is also very important. Some children seem to sleep a lot, but their sleep quality is worrying, such as grinding their teeth and snoring.
Poor sleep quality will also affect the secretion of growth hormone. So some sleep problems still need to be solved in the hospital.
2. Take an active part in various sports activities.
It is also a good way for children to actively participate in various sports.
Exercise can help children improve heart and lung function, increase blood oxygen content and help children sleep more soundly and deeply.
At the same time, outdoor sports can be fully exposed to sunlight, and sunlight can also promote children's absorption of calcium and vitamins.
So many aerobic exercises, such as basketball, running and skipping, are very suitable for children to participate. Badminton, in particular, is very helpful to grow taller, because it requires the body to relax constantly during exercise.
3. Pay attention to the correct sitting and standing posture.
Poor posture is one of the "killers" of children who are not tall enough. For example, hunchback in class, bending over too much when doing homework or even writing on your stomach.
Slowly, there will be problems such as spinal skew and cervical deformation. For example, many adults will grow taller after posture correction, which is also the same principle. In addition, the posture of the child at the beginning of walking is also very important, and the bowlegs and the outer eight characters will affect the height.
Generally speaking, it is not difficult for children to grow taller now, because there are too many ways to help children supplement calcium. Parents may wish to pay more attention to some scientific knowledge and take the correct way to supplement calcium, and their children will certainly grow tall and strong.
