Question
Two seven-month-old preemies, now two and a half years old, often fall ill. How can their immunity be strengthened through diet?
Answer
Hello, for two-and-a-half-year-old preemies, due to their slightly weaker constitution at birth compared to their peers, special attention needs to be paid to a balanced diet. In addition to ensuring sufficient protein intake, it is also important to increase the consumption of fruits and vegetables to achieve nutritional balance. Moreover, preemies are more prone to deficiencies in trace elements such as zinc, iron, and calcium. It is recommended to undergo trace element testing at the hospital and supplement accordingly based on the results. A balanced diet and necessary trace element supplementation will help boost the child’s immunity. Wishing your little one a healthy and happy growth.
