Spring is the season when Yang Qi grows. The climate is getting warmer, all things are recovering, the human body's yang energy is growing, and various bacteria and viruses are also beginning to multiply. When people's physical fitness declines, these bacteria and viruses will take advantage of the situation and cause various diseases. Therefore, the diet of this season deserves special attention. Let’s talk about the healthiest way for children to eat in spring:

1. Supplement calcium. Spring is the season when height increases fastest. Therefore, it is very important to supplement calcium for children during this season. Children need 700-800 mg of calcium per day, and the appropriate supply is no less than 1,000 mg per day. It is best to take dietary supplements. Spare rib soup or bone soup is not only rich in calcium, but also helps the body absorb calcium. In addition, foods rich in calcium include carrots, summer peels, sesame seeds, day lilies, radish, kelp, mustard greens, etc. Then eat less foods containing more phosphates such as sugar, chocolate, and pastries, because these foods can hinder calcium metabolism in the body. Infants and young children should be exposed to the sun regularly to help absorb vitamin D.

2. Supplement vitamins and trace elements. Spring is windy and the climate is dry, which can easily cause hemorrhage. Vitamin C has a very good effect on traditional Chinese medicine. There are two ways to supplement vitamin C: one is to take vitamin C tablets, and the other is to eat more vegetables and fruits containing vitamin C, such as citrus, apples, tomatoes, radishes, dates, etc. Corn, millet, glutinous rice, mung beans, soybeans and other foods are rich in minerals, fiber, various vitamins and amino acids, which are very beneficial to the growth and development of children.

3. Eat foods rich in vegetable fats. Fat can not only moisturize the entire body and make people look smooth, but it can also be converted into heat during the metabolic process, which can be used by children during activities. It can also be metabolized into structural substances of the brain and expand brain capacity. Because 50-80% of the human brain is fat, and it is mainly unsaturated fat composed of vegetable fats. Therefore, it is very necessary to provide children with sufficient vegetable fats. Ways to provide vegetable fat: First, add more vegetable oil to dishes, but it is not advisable to eat too much fried food; second, eat snacks rich in vegetable fat, such as peanuts, walnuts, pine nuts, sunflower seeds, etc.

4. World Health Organization experts point out that spring is the fastest growing season for children, and certain nutrients should be added to the diet. Pork liver is rich in protein, lecithin and trace elements, which is beneficial to children's intellectual and physical development.
