Raising the children is always an important thing in most families. The scientists have made lots of studies so as to find out effective ways to raise the children. Recently, the scientists have published two new findings of raising the children. The first finding is that vegetables and fruits can improve the growth of bones for girls, and the second finding is that many foods can be eaten to treat poisoning for children. 

Parents always concern closely with the growth of the bones of their children. Parents usually expect to accelerate the growth of the bones by supplementing calcium for their children. According to the latest research in America, vegetables and fruits can accelerate the growth of the bones for girls. Vegetables and fruits can prevent the loss of calcium in the bones. At the same time, vegetables and fruits can react with acid substances produced by other foods like grain. If there is no food to neutralize these acid substances, the alkaline substances including calcium have to be used to neutralize the acidity and further cause the loss of calcium. According to the research, most of the calcium discharged by urination from the human body comes from the bones rather than the foods eaten by people. Therefore, in order to improve the development of the bones, girls should eat vegetables and fruits frequently at the childhood.

Lead poisoning among the children is becoming more and more severe in recent years. In order to eliminate lead poisoning, children should often eat the foods which contain abundant calcium, iron, zinc and selenium. The elements like zinc and selenium can reduce the absorption of lead for the human body. Lean meat and black sesame contain abundant iron, and nut and marine products contain abundant zinc. The protein contained in milk can be integrated with lead to produce a kind of insoluble compound to decrease the absorption of lead. Generally speaking, many foods can help children deal with lead poisoning. These foods mainly include fish, meat, and vegetables and fruits which contain rich vitamin C, such as cabbage and jujubes. Sulfides contained in onions can neutralize the toxicity of lead. The tea polyphenols contained in green tea can also discharge the toxic substances including lead from the human body.

Scientific research can help parents raise the children effectively. Parents should pay attention to the scientific findings and raise their children in a scientific and reasonable way.
