World Health Organization research shows that there is a significant seasonality in the growth and development of children. Among them, spring grows the fastest, and the growth rate of height is 2-2.5 times that of autumn.
In the past winter, the child's exercise volume has decreased significantly, coupled with the lack of sunshine, which will lead to insufficient calcium absorption in the child's body. This is the "culprit" that hinders the child's growth.
At the same time, the winter vacation plus the Spring Festival will make many children overeating, not only did not grow tall, but gained a lot of weight, and the nutritional composition in the body was also unbalanced.
So at the beginning of spring, the golden period of children's growth and height came. Parents must remind their children to eat more of these foods.

In addition, the shrimp skin is rich in magnesium, magnesium has a regulatory effect on the nervous system, helps children's brain development, and also has a certain improvement effect on children's diet, convulsions and other problems.

More than 60% of brain tissue is fat, which can improve the activity of brain cells and enhance memory and thinking. Among them, DHA, known as "brain gold", has an important impact on visual, cognitive, memory and discriminative learning.
Unsaturated fatty acids can promote the synthesis of DHA in the body, so that children eat foods rich in unsaturated fatty acids, which can help babies grow tall and promote brain development, which has many benefits.

3. Vitamin-rich vegetables and fruits
Vitamins are essential elements for long and high school, vitamin D, vitamin C and vitamin A supplements, can promote the absorption of calcium, providing rich raw materials for bone growth.
In the winter children's recipes, meat is often the mainstay, coupled with the relatively small variety of fresh vegetables and fruits in winter, many children have low vitamin content in the body, and often have mouth ulcers, nail barbs and peeling.
Spring is getting warmer, and add more fresh vegetables and fruits to your child's recipes.
For example, carrots can supplement vitamin B and can also be converted into vitamin A in the body, which is an essential substance for bone growth.
