To maintain good health, it is necessary to ensure that the body has sufficient reserves of various trace elements it needs. If there is a shortage of a certain trace element reserve, the body will show corresponding symptoms. For example, calcium is very important. After calcium deficiency, the body will be affected. However, there are also many requirements for calcium supplementation. Can girls take calcium tablets?
Regardless of gender, as long as there is a calcium deficiency in the body, timely supplementation is necessary to prevent diseases caused by calcium deficiency. If a girl's body is severely deficient in calcium, it will affect her height. Because growing taller means bones are growing, if there is insufficient calcium in the body, bone development will be inhibited, leading to slow bone development, deformation, and even rickets.
Many older people believe that girls cannot supplement calcium due to a lack of scientific knowledge. Because girls are going to get pregnant and have babies, they believe that supplementing calcium for girls will cause the pelvis to not open smoothly during childbirth, which is commonly known as delayed opening of the cervix, making it impossible to have a natural delivery.
In fact, such concerns are unnecessary. As girls' bodies continue to grow, they require a large amount of calcium. As long as there is no excessive calcium supplementation during pregnancy after adulthood, it will not affect vaginal delivery. For the sake of girls' physical health, parents must approach issues with a scientific attitude and provide timely calcium supplementation for girls.
