Many children have thin and yellow hair, are not tall, and are very picky about what they eat. These manifestations are due to zinc deficiency. Zinc deficiency will affect the basis of growth-the speed of cell differentiation. If the speed of cell growth and differentiation slows down, the growth will be slow, and children with severe zinc deficiency will even suffer from zinc deficiency dwarfism. In addition, zinc deficiency reduces appetite and food intake, and nutrients cannot meet the needs of growth and development, which will also lead to slow growth and development. Zinc deficiency can also affect cartilage formation, bone calcification and hair growth. At the same time, zinc is also very important for fetal development. Zinc deficiency can cause fetal growth retardation, malformation, premature delivery, increased mortality and other hazards.
2, the immunity is reduced
Zinc deficiency will affect all aspects of the immune system, make the immune function decline, easily infected by the outside world, especially prone to repeated colds. On the one hand, the ability of the immune system to remove germs decreases, on the other hand, the barrier to protect the body is more vulnerable to the invasion of germs. Zinc supplementation can quickly improve immunity and enhance disease resistance.
3. Intellectual development
Active, inattentive and poor academic performance are the manifestations of many zinc-deficient students. Zinc is an important part of the brain's learning and memory functional areas. Zinc deficiency will cause irreparable damage to children's brain development, especially school-age children, which is the peak season for brain development. Many children without typical symptoms are more likely to be neglected and hurt by zinc deficiency, because parents will not pay attention to timely and scientific zinc supplementation for their children at this time.
4. Loss of appetite
Picky eaters, anorexia, partial eclipse, pica, biting fingers and nails, chewing skirts, eating paper balls, etc. These are the results of impaired taste caused by zinc deficiency. Zinc is an important element in the formation of taste. Zinc deficiency can lead to dull taste, insensitivity to delicious food, loss of appetite, reduced food intake, and eating some strange things, which seriously affects the growth and development of children and makes parents miserable.
5. Intestinal and respiratory diseases
Diarrhea is caused by bacteria and intestinal inflammation and is related to zinc deficiency. In addition, the high incidence of pneumonia is also related to zinc deficiency. Zinc supplementation can greatly reduce the incidence of diarrhea and pneumonia in children, which is one of the effective measures to improve children's health.
6. Dermatosis
Many children's wounds are difficult to heal, and repeated oral ulcers are related to zinc deficiency. Supplementing zinc can improve skin regeneration ability, speed up wound healing, reduce skin inflammation, herpes, rash and other skin diseases, and make hair black and shiny.
7. Visual hazards
There is a lot of zinc in the eyes, and the eyes are most sensitive to zinc deficiency. If zinc deficiency affects the adaptability in dark environment, then zinc also participates in the metabolism of vitamin A, which is an important substance to maintain normal visual function. If zinc is deficient, vitamin A will not function normally, thus affecting visual function.
These hazards of zinc deficiency can be compensated by zinc supplementation, and correct and scientific zinc supplementation is the guarantee of children's health. Studies have proved that the new osawa zinc-rich spirulina tablets is an organic compound, with obviously increased zinc content, easy to be absorbed by human body, without any toxic and side effects, while maintaining the basic nutritional structure of spirulina. It is not only rich in zinc, but also contains many active physiological substances beneficial to human health. It is an efficient and safe zinc-containing nutritional supplement for human body, which has the functions of comprehensive nutrition and adjuvant therapy. New osawa zinc-rich Spirulina is the best choice for the growth, development and metabolic balance of infants, children and adolescents.
