There are two critical growth periods in a person’s life: the first year of life and adolescence. Both of these periods are periods of rapid growth of the human body. Therefore, the nutritional status of this period is very important. If you pay attention to and reasonably and scientifically grasp the nutritional status, you can make the growth and development potential to achieve the maximum.
For children in rapid growth and development, protein is the best ingredient for a long body. It is important to ensure not only the quantity of protein, but also the quality. Animal and vegetable proteins are combined, and attention is also paid to the meat and vegetable mix to further improve the nutritional value of protein, but also to complement the strengths and increase the absorption of vitamins and minerals.
Good eating habits are an important prerequisite to ensure that children get balanced nutrition. The so-called bad habits include picky eating, partial eating, overeating, lack of regularity in eating, snacking, eating too fast, gobbling, skipping breakfast, etc.

Calcium-containing foods, such as milk, egg yolk, shrimp, oysters, sesame paste, soybeans and soy products, should be applied in dietary preparation.
In addition, you should also get the right amount of iron, copper and other trace elements from food to prevent anemia. Iron is a necessary substance for hemoglobin, and copper is a catalyst for hemoglobin synthesis. According to statistics, anemia can seriously affect the growth and development of children, anemic children are often 2-10CM shorter than their peers, pig liver, pig blood, crab, shellfish and other foods containing more iron and copper, should be eaten properly.
