Bone broth
In the nutritional composition of bone broth, everyone believes that it has a lot of calcium that is good for health. That’s why many mothers often use bone broth to cook porridge for their children to increase their calcium intake. However, nutrition experts say that’s not true. In the cooking process, the calcium in the bones does not dissolve in the water. Bone broth only contains a large amount of fat. Therefore, if mothers often give their children bone broth to eat, it will hinder the absorption and conversion of calcium, making the child severely calcium deficient, stunted, and weak.
Fast food, fried foods
All fried foods always have a delicious and enticing taste. However, these foods are not good for pregnant women or young children. Therefore, mothers need to avoid giving their children these types of food. Because foods high in fat will interfere with the baby’s calcium absorption process.
The habit of frequently feeding children fried foods can make them prone to uncontrolled weight gain and at risk of high blood pressure, cardiovascular problems, etc.
Salted meat
Everyone thinks that salted meat contains a lot of calcium and is an ideal, convenient, and nutritious food. But according to nutrition experts, in reality, the main nutritional component of salted meat is not abundant, but the sodium content is high, which can affect the liver, kidneys, and your health. If you eat a lot of salted meat, it can cause high blood pressure, cardiovascular problems, strokes, so be cautious.
In addition, because salted meat contains a lot of salt, it makes your body consume more calcium to absorb nutrients, leading to increased risk of osteoporosis.
Red meat
According to nutrition experts, red meat does contain less calcium. However, if you consume too much red meat, it increases blood acid levels, causing your body to use calcium in food and bones to neutralize it, leading to calcium depletion.
When your body loses valuable calcium, it will negatively affect the child’s height development and cause osteoporosis in the elderly.
Therefore, for optimal height development, parents should focus on 3 golden periods in the child’s development, including: The first period is when the baby is in the womb; The second period is in the first 2 years of life; The third period is when the child begins puberty. In this period, mothers need to supplement enough calcium for the child to achieve the ideal height.
