In spring, children grow and develop faster. In order to adapt to this characteristic and to adapt to the dry climate in spring, it is recommended that parents pay attention to the following issues when arranging their children's diet.

Pay attention to the adequate supply of calcium: children's growth is mainly the result of bone development. The main component of bones is calcium. Therefore, children should be supplied with sufficient calcium in spring. Children need 700~800 mg of calcium per day, and the appropriate supply is no less than 1 gram per day. There are generally two ways to supplement calcium, namely medicinal supplements and dietary supplements. Foods rich in calcium include sesame seeds, day lilies, fish, snails, dried small shrimps, etc. Then there are ribs soup or bone soup and fish soup. These soups are not only rich in calcium, but also help the body absorb calcium. Metabolism in the body requires more vitamins and calcium. In order to ensure the child's absorption of calcium, children should not be allowed to eat more sugar, chocolate, and pastries, because in addition to sugar, pastries also contain more phosphates. Phosphates hinder the metabolism of calcium in the body.

Supplementing more vitamin C: The function of vitamin C is to increase the sensitivity of cranial nerves, make the brain respond flexibly to stimulation, and also improve disease resistance, which plays an important role in children's brain and body. The climate in spring is dry and Yang Qi rises, making it easy to suffer from hemorrhage. VC plays a great role in preventing bleeding and must be supplied in time. There are also two ways to supplement vitamin C: one is to take vitamin C tablets, and the other is to eat as many vegetables and fruits containing vitamin C as possible. Such as citrus, apple, tomato, radish, etc.

Eat more whole grains and grains: Whole grains and grains first supplement the body with minerals, such as iron, zinc, manganese, chromium, calcium, phosphorus, selenium, etc., followed by fiber and various vitamins, and thirdly They are organic compounds with special structures, such as aromatic substances, amino acids, etc. Moreover, a variety of foods is also helpful to stimulate appetite and enhance children's digestion and absorption capabilities. Common coarse grains include corn, millet, yellow rice, glutinous rice, millet rice (commonly known as millet), adzuki beans, mung beans, soybeans, green beans, etc.

Eat more foods containing natural sugars: In spring, due to the warmer climate and shorter days and shorter nights, children’s metabolic functions are strong and outdoor activity time is also greatly extended, which will inevitably increase the intake of calories and nutrients. Consumption makes children feel hungry often. Therefore, in spring, snacks can be used to supplement calories and nutrients for children. The suitable snack time is around 10 am and 3 pm. For snacks, you can choose peanuts, dried sweet potatoes, chestnuts, persimmons, raisins, preserved fruits, etc. You can also eat foods containing natural sugars such as honey water.

Eat more foods rich in plant fats: fat can not only moisturize the entire body and make people look smooth, but can also be converted into heat during the metabolic process for children to use in activities, and can also be metabolized. It is the structural substance of the brain and expands brain capacity. Because 50% to 80% of the human brain is fat, and it is mainly unsaturated fat composed of vegetable fats. Therefore, it is very necessary to provide children with sufficient vegetable fats.

Ways to provide vegetable fat: First, add more vegetable oil to dishes or staple foods, but it is not advisable to eat too much fried food;

Second, eat snacks rich in vegetable fat. , such as peanuts, walnut kernels, pine nuts, sunflower seeds, melon seeds, etc. In spring, the climate is dry, the sunshine hours are extended, and the earth's atmosphere rises. Children are prone to dryness and heat and always want to eat cold food.

Parents should let their children drink more boiled water and eat more vegetables and fruits. It is not advisable to consume too much cold drinks. Otherwise, it will easily damage the child's spleen and stomach, making them prone to illness in summer
