During the growth process of children, if they lack vitamin D, it will directly affect the body's absorption of calcium, which will greatly affect the development of the body's bones, leading to conditions such as rickets and delayed development. So, what are the methods for children to supplement vitamin D?
Lack of vitamin D in children can lead to the occurrence of diseases such as chicken breast, X-shaped legs, delayed tooth development, delayed abdominal muscle development, and osteoporosis. Therefore, it is necessary to supplement vitamin D in a timely manner. This can prevent the aggravation of the disease.
For children with severe vitamin D deficiency, they should take some vitamin D supplements in order to achieve good supplementation effects. For babies around 0 to 2 years old, supplementing with 400 IU of vitamin D per day is a relatively safe dosage.
If children are not significantly lacking in calcium, they only need to consume more foods rich in vitamin D in their diet to effectively supplement it. For example, milk, quail eggs, salmon, cereal foods, mushrooms, and so on, are rich in vitamin D. After consumption, they are very beneficial for the healthy development of bones.
During the process of supplementing vitamin D, children also need to regularly bask in the sun, which can improve their absorption of vitamin D and calcium. And it is important to pay attention to the dosage of vitamin D supplementation, which must be appropriate and not blindly supplemented, as this can easily lead to poisoning in children.
