Benefits of Zinc for Children and Parents
Did you know, zinc is a mineral with the second largest metal component and is very necessary for the body. Here are some of the benefits of zinc for children’s growing bodies
Helps with Height
Stunting is a serious problem in the process of child growth and development. This occurs due to a lack of nutrients such as vitamin A, iron, folate, and zinc. One sign of stunting is that the child’s height is smaller than his friends.
Consuming zinc in the right doses can help optimize children’s growth and development, especially in achieving optimal height.
Increase Brain Intelligence
Zinc deficiency can be at risk of disorders in children’s growth and development, one of which is the process of brain development. This causes children to have difficulty storing short-term memory, and reduces children’s interest in learning new things.
Relieves Symptoms of Diarrhea
In addition to stunting, diarrhea is one of the diseases that often attacks children. This can be overcome by consuming zinc in the right dosage, because zinc functions to optimize the absorption of electrolytes in the intestines, thereby minimizing the risk of diarrhea severity experienced by children. Not only that, zinc also plays a role in strengthening the body’s immune system to fight infections in the digestive tract.
In addition to being beneficial for children, zinc is also beneficial for adults, including:
Helps skin regeneration
The skin is the third organ that has the highest zinc content, because it plays a role in wound healing. In addition, zinc deficiency can cause various skin diseases.
Increases Bone Strength
Zinc deficiency can increase the risk of fractures, this happens because zinc can increase bone strength
Although it has many benefits for the body, to obtain this zinc we must consume some foods that have this content, because our bodies cannot produce it naturally. This is certainly a concern for some parents, because this mineral is very necessary for the growth and development of their children.
Seeing this problem, PT Inasentra Unisatya is opening up opportunities as wide as possible to innovate in the form of making candy with zinc content. PT Inasentra Unisatya itself is a candy company that has been established since the 90s and continues to conduct R&D in the candy sector.
