The importance of zinc supplementation for babies

1. Affecting children's intelligence: Zinc deficiency in the body will reduce the number of brain cells, especially during the fetal period to 3 years old. If zinc deficiency occurs, it will affect brain development. According to relevant nutritional surveys, for some children with congenital idiocy, zinc deficiency is one of the important reasons after excluding genetic factors. 2. Affect children's appetite: Zinc deficiency can lead to a decrease in taste, anorexia, picky eating and even pica. When zinc is deficient, people often have poor appetite, slow growth, and generally do not eat well. Instead, they pick up pebbles, lime, and paper on the ground and eat them. This is called "eating strange foods." 3. Reduce children's immunity: Zinc is a nutrient for the development of the immune organ thymus. Only sufficient zinc can effectively ensure the development of the thymus, normal differentiation of T lymphocytes, and promotion of cellular immune function. Therefore, zinc deficiency will also reduce immune function and lead to frequent illness because zinc has a great influence on the bactericidal ability of phagocytes. Studies have shown that among children with recurrent respiratory infections, the proportion of zinc-deficient babies is significantly higher than that of normal babies.
