Infants most likely to lack of nutrients


That infants and young children are most vulnerable stage of the lack of energy and the following nutrients:


⑴ thermal energy from protein, carbon compounds and lipid metabolism in small to provide. Such as low intake (less than breastfeeding, child care eclipse, being choosy food, snacks, etc.), give rise to inadequate supply of energy, short-term performance is no increase in body weight or slow growth, long-term malnutrition is.
⑵ mainly by protein-protein animal food or milk to provide. If breast-feeding after birth and lack of artificial feeding to red rice or sweet condensed milk into a cereal, such as lack of feeding protein, these babies do not look thin, but weak muscles, slow growth and development, normal health.
⑶ even lack of vitamin D milk is also a lack of vitamin D, breast-feeding to be added in time, while the milk supply to feed those who need even more. After a lack of vitamin D affect bone susceptible to rickets.
⑷ raw iron is one of blood from the mother after the birth of children with access to the storage of iron in the body for 3 to 4 after birth needs months. If after 4 months in time to add iron-rich foods will have the nutritional iron deficiency anemia. Fish, meat, liver, animal blood and to absorb more iron content is high, the iron content of soybean is not low, vitamin C can promote iron absorption, should be appropriate to add to the baby.
⑸ calcium for the bones of the important components. At present, universal adult calcium diet, stage of growth and development in children is on the needs of calcium and more than adults. The calcium content of breast milk was low, but calcium and phosphorus ratio appropriate to the high absorption rate; the calcium content in milk than breast-high, but due to high phosphorus and affect the absorption of calcium. The absorption of calcium depends on the role of vitamin D, lack of vitamin D to absorb calcium to reduce the time. It should be noted that with the calcium in milk can not be taken at the same time, as the two met, will enable the precipitation of milk.
