Question

How can we solve the issue of calcium deficiency in children? What should we eat for dietary supplementation?

Answer

  1. Before supplementing calcium for your child, first have them tested for calcium levels at a regular hospital.
  2. Do not believe in the excessive advertising of certain calcium supplements.
  3. Calcium supplementation is not the more, the better; it should be done under a doctor’s guidance.
  4. Milk is the best food for calcium supplementation; do not stir when heating to prevent calcium loss.
  5. When making bone broth, remember to add vinegar to help dissolve the calcium.
  6. At night, the body needs calcium the most and it is most easily absorbed.
  7. Vegetables like spinach, bamboo shoots, and chives, which contain a lot of oxalic acid, should be blanching with hot water first to remove the oxalic acid, as this can affect calcium absorption.
