Many people like to fry spinach or make it into vegetable soup. In fact, these are incorrect ways of eating it.

Among all foods, spinach has the highest oxalic acid content. Oxalic acid easily combines with the calcium consumed by the human body to form insoluble calcium oxalate. Calcium oxalate not only cannot be absorbed and utilized by the human body, but also hinders the body's absorption of calcium. Therefore, eating spinach regularly can cause calcium deficiency

. Calcium deficiency affects the growth and development of young children

and makes them susceptible to rickets, tetany, etc. If young children already have symptoms of calcium deficiency, eating spinach will worsen the condition.

Therefore, young children should not eat more spinach. When cooking spinach, it is best to blanch it in boiling water. After blanching, most of the oxalic acid can be released.

In addition, it should be noted that if you are taking calcium tablets, it is best to eat less or no spinach. Spinach contains dietary fiber, which can detoxify and clear the brain. Therefore, it has a certain intestinal smoothing effect and can easily cause diarrhea in babies.
