Question
Should a 6-year-old boy be given nutritional supplements?
Answer
It’s not necessary to take nutritional supplements, but it is recommended to undergo routine blood tests and trace element checks. If deficiencies are found, then supplementation should be considered. Additionally, it’s important to choose natural nutritional products and avoid haphazard supplementation that could lead to problems. In terms of diet, avoid giving the child fried, pickled, or grilled foods, and ensure a balanced meal with a mix of vegetables and meat. Eat until you’re seven-tenths full, maintain food diversity, and ensure a balanced diet to guarantee proper nutrition and reduce gastrointestinal burden.
