Dr. Jiang Zhiyang
To supplement calcium in children, it is recommended to consume more dairy products, such as cheese and milk. Additionally, soy-based foods—including dried tofu, soft tofu, and soy milk—should be included regularly in their diet. Seafood is also an excellent source of calcium; examples include shrimp, shellfish, and oysters. Furthermore, incorporating seaweed, purple laver (nori), and spinach into the child’s diet can also help meet calcium requirements.
