Xiaohong gave birth to a son half a year ago, which made her husband and grandmother happy to regard Xiaohong as a treasure in the family. Worried that she can't eat well, sleep well and have no milk, I try to get her something delicious every day.
Fortunately, Xiaohong's milk has always been enough for children to eat. My grandmother heard that pregnant women must pay attention to calcium supplementation, so she often went to the market early in the morning to buy bone soup for Xiaohong. Xiaohong also wants her son to have better nutrition, so grandma usually gives herself everything.
But every time I drink this bone soup, as long as I drink more than two bowls, Xiaohong always feels a little uncomfortable and prone to diarrhea. Later, Xiaohong simply bought calcium tablets to eat and told grandma not to make bone soup.
During this period, Xiaohong's son Pippi is almost 7 months old. My grandmother thinks that eating rice paste and rice porridge is not nutritious, so she wants to get some bone soup and porridge for her children. So I started to go to the supermarket every day to find the freshest big bones and cook them for an hour or two. After cooking them into soup, I cooked the rice in the soup.
At first, the child didn't eat much. Later, after eating a small bowl, he found that the child pulled once a day to pull three or four times a day, and there seemed to be something greasy in the stool.
Xiaohong consulted a parenting expert online.
The child-rearing expert told Xiaohong that the child is too young and there is a lot of fat in the bone soup. Children's intestinal digestive ability is poor, and they can't digest and absorb these fats, so children will have diarrhea, that is, if we adults eat too much oil, we will easily get fat, let alone children.
Xiaohong suddenly realized that it was no wonder that she had diarrhea after drinking it.
Jiang Zhuoqin, a professor of nutrition at Sun Yat-sen University, did an experiment and found that the calcium in soup is similar to that in tap water.
In fact, bone soup does not supplement calcium, and the calcium in bone soup is still in the bones, so it is impossible to cook the calcium in the soup.
In fact, for children, every mouthful of milk he drinks has a very high calcium content. Whether breast milk or milk powder, as long as the child has enough milk every day, the child's total calcium is not lacking. Of course, before the age of two, in order to make calcium better absorbed in the intestine, children are advised to supplement vitamin D. Generally, 400IU of vitamin D can greatly promote the absorption rate of calcium in the intestine.
No wonder doctors prescribe vitamin AD instead of calcium for children, and then the milk that children drink every day is already a good calcium supplement food.
For lactating mothers, a lot of calcium should be provided to their children every day, so lactating mothers should also pay attention to calcium supplementation. It is recommended to drink 500 mg of milk every day.
For us adults, it is also recommended to supplement calcium with 300 ml of milk every day. Seeing that foreigners drink milk as water, they are generally not short of calcium. However, we need 800 ml of calcium a day as adults, and only 500 ml in our daily diet. We also need to drink 300 ml of calcium, so as to make up enough calcium for one day.
Therefore, drinking bone soup does not supplement calcium, and the best food for supplementing calcium is milk. Because the baby drinks milk powder every day, he just needs to supplement vitamin D.
