What's the matter with eating dirt

summary

Iron deficiency anemia is very common in children, which can be said to be the focus of prevention and treatment of the disease nationwide. The blood in the human body is made of bone marrow, which needs a variety of nutrients as raw materials, such as protein, iron, vitamins and so on. If the human body lacks iron, it will lead to the reduction of hemoglobin synthesis, resulting in the reduction of red blood cells in the blood. There are no obvious symptoms in the initial stage of anemia. If anemia worsens, there will be symptoms such as pale complexion, low spirit, diarrhea, vomiting, etc. Let's all share what it's like to eat earth.

What's the matter with eating dirt

First: children with severe anemia will like to eat clods, scraps of paper and other phenomena, which is simply too terrible, because the role of hemoglobin is to transport oxygen. Anemia leads to the decrease of hemoglobin content in the blood and the weakening of the ability to transport oxygen, which will lead to hypoxia and inability to carry out normal activities. If anemia is not treated in time, it is likely to cause anaemic heart disease.

Second: the main cause of children's iron deficiency anemia is generally improper diet. Many parents feed their children with single food, such as porridge, biscuits, noodles, or only drink milk. Although some of these foods are rich in nutrition, they are too single, which will affect the absorption and utilization of iron. Over a long period of time, they will naturally suffer from anemia.

Third, because children's growth and development is relatively fast, they need more nutrition and more iron. If they don't supplement it in time, anemia is very easy to occur. Many children like to be picky and partial eaters, and they have bad eating habits, which can also cause anemia. We must ensure that children need all kinds of nutrition for their growth and development. If they keep up with the nutrition, they will absorb more iron sources, It will reduce the chance of iron deficiency.

matters needing attention

To prevent children's iron deficiency anemia, it is necessary to ensure that pregnant women's nutrition is adequate before delivery and that there is no iron deficiency. After the birth of the baby, supplementary foods, especially foods containing iron and trace elements, should be added in time. In addition, children should be taught to develop good eating habits from childhood. They should not be partial or picky to ensure the balanced intake of nutrients.
