Trends change, so milk at some point ceases to be as important as it used to be, which, according to most experts, is not a good story.
It is also important for growth and development, and since 90 percent of the bone mass is built by the age of 17, calcium intake in children is of vital importance.
If it is excluded, the chances of developing weak and fragile bones, fractures and osteoporosis are much higher.
Experts have calculated that children up to the age of eight need 1.000 milligrams of calcium per day, and after that 1.300.
The bad news is that studies show that only one in ten girls and one in four boys get enough calcium through their diet. Girls take care of the line earlier and earlier, so they throw out the milk first, thinking that it makes them gain weight.
Experts warn that parents must persuade them to drink milk, especially until the age of eight, but also at a later age, because it is important for healthy bones, reports Novosti.
