What vitamins does a child need?

Any mother wants her baby to grow up healthy and strong. And in order to achieve the desired, first of all, it is worth balancing the nutrition of the child. To begin with, it’s worth seriously starting with yourself, because children are a reflection of parents, what we eat is necessary for the child. And this is not always healthy food and healthy vegetables or fruits.

Vitamins in fruits, vegetables - a storehouse of energy for the child

Many mothers prefer pharmacy vitamins (vitamin complexes). But this is not always correct. The child’s body is already overloaded with environmental chemistry, and here they still make healthy pips to eat. Nature made sure that man was able to get all the necessary supply of vitamins from food. And you don’t need to look for rare or exotic vegetables, fruits and herbs, just study the beneficial properties of the products available to you that grow in your area.

The same cereals or nuts are full of vitamins. Of course, in winter you can take vitamins at the pharmacy, because studying or playing sports takes a lot of the child’s energy. And this is not counting the stress he receives regularly (either preparing for a test or a test, or performing in an amateur performance at school). Often, it is because of stress that immunity becomes weak, as a result of which the child is sick, especially in the cold season. So additional help in the form of vitamin complexes is very helpful.

Do not mix vitamins in one pile

All vitamins are useful, only you need to combine them correctly so as not to harm. There is everything at once - not right! The properties of each substance are different - some vitamins complement each other, others, on the contrary, neutralize the effect of the other. For example:

• In 12 it is better to use separately from B1, otherwise an allergic reaction may occur;
• B12 does not mix well with vitamins B6 and C;
• B6 also does not mix well with B1, so they are never prescribed to be taken together;
• after taking some vitamins, at least 3-4 hours should pass, then you can drink others.

To make it easier for you to replenish the child’s vitamin balance, divide the vitamins at different times: breakfast - one group, lunch - another, dinner - third. Do not stuff the baby with everything, approach the matter wisely, otherwise you can do harm.

1. Not everyone can correctly analyze the beneficial properties of vitamins and, moreover, combine them correctly. For best results, consult your doctor.
2. Give your children natural, natural vitamins to the maximum. But if necessary, do not forget about the use of vitamin-mineral complexes for the child, in which the dosage of minerals and their correct combination are thought out.
