Question

What are the methods for addressing malnutrition and calcium deficiency in children?

Answer

Calcium deficiency is a common and prevalent disease in children, not only affecting their growth and development but also being a source of multiple diseases. One of the main reasons for children’s calcium deficiency is insufficient sunlight exposure and light Insufficient Irradiation. Therefore, spring and summer are considered the golden seasons for children to supplement calcium. Besides feeding children with foods rich in calcium and vitamin D during these seasons, parents should also frequently take their children outdoors for activities and sunbathing to promote the conversion of vitamin D precursors in the skin into vitamin D, thereby enhancing the absorption and utilization of calcium. It is recommended that you seek treatment at a professional hospital.
