Question
How can an 11-year-old child properly supplement calcium?
Answer
Generally speaking, children around the age of 10 are recommended to obtain calcium from their daily diet. It is suggested to drink at least two glasses of milk daily and consume more seafood, especially shrimp shells, which are rich in calcium. Additionally, maintaining two hours of outdoor exercise daily can also help with the absorption of calcium. If a child has a picky eating habit leading to insufficient calcium intake, it is advisable to consult a doctor about the need for calcium supplements.
