#AskTheExpert hello dr my boy is 2 year old but he has suffered from calcium deficiency plz suggest me any other thing which I have gave him

A. Hello, better to give calcium rich diet instead of calcium supplement..like..Milk, ghee, yogurt serve as the good calcium source. spinach, ladyfinger, broccoli, sweet potatoes, beans, tofu, Soy milk, lentils. Brown rice, ragi etc are high in calcium. Nuts like almonds are rich in calcium. Sesame seeds. While offering their favorite fruits to kids, make smoothies in yogurt. Mix the calcium rich food with their favorite food items. For example, make porridges with milk for kids who do not like milk or make a soup like the broccoli cheese soup/mash.
