Symptoms of calcium deficiency convulsions in children

Children are prone to calcium deficiency, which has a great impact on their health and will affect their growth and development. Therefore, timely calcium supplementation is very important. Parents should understand some manifestations of calcium deficiency, such as children having difficulty sleeping, crying, being irritable during the day, etc. In addition, children learn to walk late and are prone to abdominal pain, etc. These may all be manifestations of calcium deficiency.

Why we need to supplement calcium for children has always been the theme of our time! However, there are still people who believe that now that living standards have improved, the calcium intake of children in their daily diet can fully meet the needs of growth and there is no need for calcium supplementation; some people also believe that there are safety issues in supplementing calcium for children and that it should not be supplemented.

In fact, it is obvious that calcium supplementation can strengthen the body and promote growth and development.

Let us first ask people around 50 years old to recall that when they were in middle school, that is, in the 1970s, the proportion of boys who were 180cm tall and girls who were 170cm tall was very small among students. In today's middle schools, male and female students of this height are very common. If you pay a little more attention, you will find that many of your children, your colleagues' and friends' children, etc., are unexpectedly taller than their biological parents.

According to the results of the national children's physical survey released by the Ministry of Health, the height of six-year-old boys increased from 112.3 cm in 1975 to 118.7 cm in 2005; the height of girls increased from 111.5 cm to 117.7 cm. In 30 years, the average height of children has increased by 6.3 cm. Such a result is of course affected by many factors, but the awareness and popularization of nutritional supplementation is obviously extremely important, especially the supplementation of calcium.
