Lactation is the most important period for women to get calcium, on the one hand, women will give all the calcium in their body to the baby during pregnancy to meet the growth needs of the fetus, on the other hand, no matter how much calcium is in the woman’s own blood, during the lactation period, they have to deliver it to the child by way of milk every day to meet the normal nutritional needs of the child. Through the survey we found that almost all pregnant women in China have calcium deficiency in late pregnancy, and calcium deficiency during breastfeeding has become one of the most important causes of postpartum osteoporosis. In fact, for breastfeeding women, in addition to taking special calcium daily can also eat more calcium-rich foods. For example, milk, soy products, seafood, shrimp, cabbage and other ingredients are some of the more calcium-rich foods, so it is recommended that lactating women must eat more of these calcium-rich foods. Here is a reminder that in order to better prevent the problem of calcium deficiency during lactation, it is recommended that women who are breastfeeding should eat foods that contain more calcium to reduce the same foods with high oxalic acid content at the same time, so as not to affect the absorption of calcium. For example, spinach, leeks, etc. are some of the more oxalic acid content of food, these foods are best not eaten together with foods containing more calcium. Some moms are asking why there are still symptoms of calcium deficiency when they obviously eat a lot of calcium-rich foods and take calcium supplements during breastfeeding. When it comes to this issue, we would like to share with you two reasons. The first reason may be that your calcium supplementation method is not right, the intake is not enough, for example, to the above mentioned when eating calcium supplements and eat food containing oxalic acid will naturally affect the absorption of calcium. Another reason is because the calcium is not really absorbed by the body. We know that vitamin D is the carrier to ensure that calcium can be absorbed by the body, which means that if the vitamin D in a lactating woman’s body is insufficient, then even if a lot of calcium is supplemented, there is no way to be absorbed. Therefore, to achieve real calcium, in addition to eating more calcium-rich foods, it is also recommended to supplement vitamin D. Eat more foods that are rich in vitamin D. Also don’t forget to get more sunlight. Research has found that sunlight is one of the best ways to supplement vitamin D. Because the sun’s ultraviolet rays have a role in helping the body synthesize vitamin D, more sunlight can promote lactating women to replenish calcium. For example, breastfeeding mothers can walk while holding their babies in the sun, which not only helps to promote calcium absorption, but also helps to enhance bone density, which is a great help to prevent osteoporosis. In fact, there are many people who do not know the importance of calcium supplementation during lactation, thinking that calcium supplementation during pregnancy is all that is needed, but they do not know that if calcium is not enough during lactation, not only will they not be able to secrete the healthiest milk, but they may also cause loose teeth, back pain and other so-called “moon diseases” in women after childbirth, so women who are lactating It is important to pay attention to calcium supplementation. Of course, it does not mean that the more calcium intake is better, if the calcium intake is too much, it may also affect the absorption of other nutrients for lactating women, which is also not good for human health.
