Calcium is essential for children's growth
text
Milk is a good source of protein and is also rich in calcium, which is essential for bone formation.
It is important for growing children to get enough calcium to strengthen their bones and improve the quality of their teeth.
However, calcium has a low digestibility compared to carbohydrates and proteins. Furthermore, since infants' absorption capacity is still insufficient, it is important to choose foods that are easily digested and absorbed when supplementing calcium.
Milk and dairy products are rich in protein and calcium.
Furthermore, casein phosphopeptides (CPPs) and lactose, which are produced during the digestion process from milk protein (casein), have the effect of promoting calcium absorption.

Dairy products and yellowtail

Furthermore, bone formation requires not only calcium, but also vitamin D, which promotes calcium absorption.
Vitamin D can be produced in our bodies when exposed to sunlight, but the rainy season in June means there is less sunlight.
In such cases, you will need to supplement your diet.
Vitamin D is found in many fish, so by combining yellowtail with milk and dairy products, as in this month's event food, the children can efficiently obtain calcium and help build strong bones.
As the temperature rises and people get thirsty, we recommend cold milk, and milk pudding will also be a popular snack.
This milk is domestically produced and available to drink in abundance, but recently we have been hearing news that dairy farmers are facing a crisis due to the coronavirus, the rising cost of feed caused by the strong yen, and the situation in Ukraine.
Milk is essential for children's growth, so I just hope that the current situation will continue.
