In the process of children's growth and development, parents are always afraid of children's malnutrition or physical dysplasia, and they are very afraid that the lack of certain elements in children will affect their growth and development. Among the trace elements in children, zinc is essential. If the child is deficient in zinc, it may lead to low immunity, slow development and may also have an impact on intelligence.

1. What are the manifestations of zinc deficiency in children? 1, loss of appetite. Zinc deficiency in the baby's body will lead to loss of appetite, dislike of eating, and even picky eaters and partial eclipse. Although many children will have this phenomenon when they are young, parents should pay attention if their children don't want to eat for a long time, which is probably caused by the lack of new elements in their bodies.

2. Developmental retardation. Various nutrients in the body are balanced. If the child lacks something, it may cause stunting. When a child lacks new elements, his height, weight and all aspects may be slow. If parents take their children to the hospital for physical examination, they will find that their children are shorter than normal school-age children, so the lack of new elements in their bodies will lead to their slow development.

3, the immunity is reduced. Children are short of new elements, and their health is often poor. They often have colds, fevers and runny noses. There is no serious illness, but minor illnesses continue, and when it is serious, it will affect the organs of the body. This situation shows that children's resistance and immunity are very low, and there are many reasons for the decline of children's immunity, including the lack of new elements. Therefore, parents see that their children's immunity has been low, so they must take their children to check trace elements to ensure that their children have no other diseases.

4. Poor eyesight. When children are short of zinc, their eyesight will decline. Many children will be nearsighted or astigmatism when they are young, and they will wear glasses when they are very young. Moreover, if zinc deficiency is serious, it may also lead to hyperopia of children, so parents must pay attention to their children's eyesight in time. Once they find that the child's vision is abnormal, they will supplement the child with zinc in time.

Second, the conclusion is not only a new element, but also various trace elements in the body, which are all important elements in the process of children's growth and development. Without anything, children can't be guaranteed to grow and develop normally.
