Question

Why does a growing child need more calcium?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Kids need more calcium as they get older to support their growing bones: Kids 1 to 3 years old need 700 mg of calcium a day (2–3 servings). Kids 4 to 8 years old need 1,000 mg of calcium a day (2–3 servings). Kids and teens 9 to 18 years old need 1,300 mg of calcium a day (4 servings).

Answer 2

Answer:

hope it helps you ✌️✌️

Explanation:

We only get one chance to build strong bones — when we're kids and teens. Children who get enough calcium start their adult lives with the strongest bones possible. That protects them against bone loss later in life. Young kids and babies need calcium and vitamin D to prevent a disease called rickets.
