Question
What should children entering a period of rapid growth pay attention to? Parents may feel worried about this situation and hope to receive advice from doctors.
Answer
Hello, with the improvement of living conditions, malnutrition is not common, and most cases are related to overnutrition, the so-called “diseases of affluence.” Therefore, there is no need to supplement anything special in food. Both traditional Chinese medicine and nutrition experts believe in the concept of harmony between heaven and man, that is, diet and lifestyle should conform to one’s own development and nature. In other words, as long as the diet is balanced and nutrition is well-rounded, it will definitely be beneficial to the body. It is not necessary to eat more or deliberately supplement anything; this view is certainly unscientific. Just ensure a rich variety of balanced diet, and also strengthen physical exercise.
