If a child wants to grow taller, he must first \”know how to eat\”. Here are 4 common dietary \”misunderstandings\” for children. 98% of parents still make them, with number 2 being the most common!

The height of children has always been the most important thing for parents. Many parents put a lot of effort into their diet in order to make their children grow taller, but did you know? Many parents accidentally fall into the trap! Follow Director Liu to see how many of the following four misunderstandings about children’s diet do parents account for? Outpatient case: Case background: Xiaofeng is a 9-year-old boy, only 131.4 cm tall. His recent slow growth in height has caused concern among his parents. After a detailed medical history and physical examination, I found that Xiaofeng suffered from malnutrition. My mother told me that the child had been eating soup every now and then since he was 7 years old. This may be one of the reasons for his overweight and malnutrition. Diagnosis and treatment: Based on Xiaofeng’s symptoms and physical examination results, he was diagnosed with malnutrition accompanied by spleen and stomach dysfunction. In response to this situation, we developed a personalized treatment plan for Xiaofeng. The first stage: The child was prescribed \”Shiwei Jianchang Granules\”, which combines a variety of Chinese herbal ingredients and is designed to improve Xiaofeng\’s spleen and stomach function, thereby improving his ability to absorb nutrients. Second stage: I emphasized the importance of a balanced diet to parents and suggested that Xiaofeng’s parents reduce the frequency of soup stew and increase the intake of protein and other essential nutrients. The third stage: Encourage Xiaofeng to participate in appropriate physical activities to promote his healthy development. Treatment effect: Six months later, Xiaofeng’s parents took him back to the hospital. A re-examination showed that Xiaofeng lost 25 pounds in weight, and at the same time, his height also increased by 8 centimeters, reaching 139.4 centimeters. What\’s even more gratifying is that Xiaofeng\’s overall health has improved significantly. He has become more active and his mental state has improved significantly. 4 common misunderstandings, how many have you made? 1. Eat more and you will grow taller \”Eat more and you will grow taller\” has almost become a consensus among parents, but in fact, a child\’s height growth is determined by a variety of factors. Simply increasing food intake cannot directly translate into height. growth of. Excessive food may not only lead to obesity, but may also increase the burden on children\’s digestive systems and affect their appetite and digestion and absorption functions. 2. You can grow taller by supplementing more calcium. Calcium is indeed crucial to bone development, but calcium supplementation is not simply \”the more the better.\” Excess calcium may cause calcium to be deposited in bones and soft tissues, which is detrimental to healthy bone growth. The right thing to do is to make sure your child is getting balanced nutrition, including enough protein, vitamin D and other minerals to support their overall development. 3. Eat fruit as a meal. Many parents believe that fruit is a healthy choice, so they may let their children eat a large amount of fruit at the table instead of taking in a balanced intake of various foods. While fruits are good for health, they don\’t provide all the nutrients your child needs for growth and development, such as protein, fat and complex carbohydrates. Replacing staple food with fruits for a long time may lead to nutritional deficiencies in children and affect their normal growth and development. 4. Blind pursuit of \”nutrition products\” The market is filled with various nutritional products that claim to promote children\’s growth, but the actual effects of many products are not as miraculous as advertised.
