In daily life, the healthy growth of children cannot do without various trace elements, and calcium is one of the most important elements. In order to help children supplement sufficient calcium, many parents will add shrimp, seaweed, soy products, etc. to their children's daily diet. This can help supplement calcium, but parents often overlook the time limit for calcium supplementation. So when is the most suitable time for children to supplement calcium?
In order to maximize the absorption of calcium by children, it is recommended that parents supplement calcium 1 or 2 hours before or after their children drink milk. Remember not to take it with milk, as this can affect the absorption of calcium. In addition, if the child is in an empty stomach state, it is recommended to eat before supplementing calcium.
In addition, if a child has just finished eating, it is not recommended to immediately supplement calcium because the food they have just eaten may contain oxalic acid and fatty acids that are broken down by stomach acid, which can greatly affect the absorption of calcium. Parents should also remember to supplement vitamin D in moderation when supplementing calcium for their children, as this can effectively promote calcium absorption.
Parents can take their children out to bask in the sun for about half an hour every day. Outdoor sun exposure can not only effectively help with calcium absorption, but also stimulate the development of the baby's bones and help improve the body's resistance. But when it comes to calcium supplementation, parents must take it step by step and not supplement too much at once, otherwise it may backfire.
