Spring is a dry season, and the body's metabolism speeds up. In addition, with the increase in temperature, people's activity levels increase. Our bodies need to replenish a large amount of nutrients to meet their needs, especially for babies, supplementing nutrition becomes the most important aspect of spring health care.
1. Replenish Fluids
Spring is a windy and dry season. With the increase in temperature, the accelerated metabolism, increased blood circulation, and increased physical activity of babies will cause them to unknowingly lose a large amount of water through the respiratory tract and body surface, leading to the commonly known "fire symptoms". This can easily cause diseases such as pharyngitis, cough, nosebleeds, and constipation caused by "fire symptoms". Therefore, mothers must pay attention to replenishing fluids for their babies.
2. Replenish Calcium
Insist on supplementing calcium. Children are in a period of growth, and their bones require a large amount of calcium. Therefore, during this period, we must give children more calcium so that they can grow taller.
At the same time, during the growth period, we should also try our best to avoid letting children eat too much sugar, as this can hinder the absorption of calcium.
3. Replenish Vitamins
In spring, babies have an increased demand for vitamin C, vitamin B2, zinc, iron, calcium, and other minerals. If the body lacks these nutrients, various respiratory infections and contagious diseases are prone to affect babies, and "spring susceptibility" can easily occur, such as frequent inflammation at the corners of the mouth, bleeding gums, and rough skin. Therefore, mothers need to pay attention to the intake of various vitamins for their babies.
4. Replenish Fat
Fat can be converted into heat during metabolism, which can be used by children during activities and can also expand brain capacity through metabolism. Therefore, providing children with an adequate amount of fat is very necessary.
Parents should give their babies more foods rich in essential fatty acids, such as sesame, rabbit meat, fish, etc., but remember not to eat rabbit meat with celery.
At the same time, spring is a season of accelerated physical development for babies, and their need for high-quality protein also increases. It is very helpful for the growth of babies to choose foods such as chicken, beef, and millet. Beef puree is a good choice.
