What food do 7-year-old children eat in spring to help their health?
In spring, children grow faster. In order to adapt to this feature and the dry climate in spring, parents are advised to pay attention to the following issues when arranging meals for their children.

Pay attention to the adequate supply of calcium: the height of a child is mainly the result of bone development. The main component of bones is calcium, so children should be provided with enough calcium in spring. Children need 700~800 mg of calcium every day, and the suitable supply amount is not less than 1 g every day. There are generally two ways to supplement calcium, medicine supplement and food supplement. Foods rich in calcium include sesame, day lily, fish, snail, shrimp skin and so on. Then there is sparerib soup or bone soup and fish soup, which is not only rich in calcium, but also helps the body absorb calcium. The human body needs more vitamins and calcium during metabolism. In order to ensure children's absorption of calcium, children should not eat more sugar, chocolate and cakes, because cakes contain more phosphate besides sugar, which will hinder the metabolism of calcium in the body.

The function of vitamin C:C:VC supplementation is to improve the sensitivity of cranial nerves, make the brain respond flexibly to stimuli, and improve disease resistance, which is very important for children's brains and bodies. In spring, the climate is dry, the yang is rising, and it is easy to bleed. Vc plays a great role in preventing bleeding and must be supplemented. There are two ways to supplement vc: one is to take vc tablets, and the other is to eat as many fruits and vegetables containing vc as possible. Such as oranges, apples, tomatoes and radishes.

Eat more coarse grains and miscellaneous grains: coarse grains and miscellaneous grains first supplement the human body with minerals, such as iron, zinc, manganese, chromium, calcium, phosphorus and selenium, followed by cellulose and various vitamins, and then organic compounds with special structures, such as aromatic substances and amino acids. Moreover, the diversification of food is also very helpful to promote appetite and enhance children's digestion and absorption ability. Common miscellaneous grains include corn, millet, yellow rice, glutinous rice, millet (commonly known as millet), adzuki bean, mung bean, soybean, mung bean and so on.

Eat more foods containing natural sugar: In spring, due to the warmer climate and shorter days and nights, children's metabolic function is vigorous, and outdoor activities are greatly prolonged, which will inevitably increase the consumption of calories and nutrients, making children often feel hungry. Therefore, children can be supplemented with calories and nutrition by adding meals in spring. The appropriate time for eating is around 10 in the morning and around 3 pm. Peanut, dried sweet potato, chestnut, persimmon, raisin, preserved fruit, etc. You can also eat some foods containing natural sugar such as honey water.

Eat more foods rich in plant fat: fat can not only moisten the whole body and make people look smooth, but also be converted into heat for children to exercise during metabolism, and can also be converted into brain structural substances through metabolism to expand brain capacity. Because 50% ~ 80% of the human brain is fat, and it is mainly unsaturated fat composed of plant fat, it is very necessary to provide enough plant fat for children.

Ways to provide vegetable fat: First, add more vegetable oil to vegetables or staple foods, but fried foods should not be eaten more;

The second is to eat some small foods rich in plant fat, such as peanuts, walnuts, pine nuts, sunflower seeds, melon seeds and so on. In spring, the climate is dry, the sunshine time is prolonged and the atmosphere rises. Children are prone to hot and dry, and always want to eat raw and cold food. Parents should let their children drink more boiled water, eat more vegetables and fruits, and don't eat too many cold drinks, otherwise it will easily hurt the spleen and stomach and lead to illness in summer.

I wish your child a healthy growth.
