Nutritional requirements of the elderly for children

However, there are also some particularities in the nutritional requirements of the elderly children. In the following, we will elaborate on the nutrition supplement that the elderly children need to pay attention to from four aspects: protein, vitamins, minerals and oils.

Protein is essential for children's growth and development. For older children, the intake of protein is slightly higher than that of children of the same age. Protein rich foods include meat, fish, beans, eggs, etc. In addition, you can also choose some formula milk powder rich in high-quality protein to supplement appropriately under the guidance of doctors.
At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to the reasonable combination of protein intake. For example, animal protein and plant protein can be reasonably combined to improve the utilization rate of protein. In addition, we should avoid taking too much food with high fat content and too much sugar in our daily diet to prevent affecting the absorption and utilization of protein.
Vitamin supplement

Vitamin C plays an important role in enhancing resistance, promoting the absorption and utilization of calcium, and can increase the intake of vitamin C rich foods such as fruits and fresh peppers.

Calcium is the basis of children's bone development. The source of calcium can be increased by increasing the intake of milk products, bean products, egg yolks and other calcium rich foods. Iron is the key to making hemoglobin. You can choose foods with high iron content, such as red meat, egg yolk, animal blood, etc. Zinc and selenium can be taken from fish, lean meat, poultry and other foods.
