Question

Hello Mr. lybrate-user
children are always growing.& for this reason their nutritional requirements are quite high.
Back in the olden days. Children used to play in the open. Get exposed to sunlight (source of vit d) & didn't require supplements.
Nowadays in the smartphone era. Children don't do anything except playing with smartphones, which effects their eyes, & ofcourse their bone development as they don't get the required sunlight bt going out. Lack of playing, running doesn't put pressure on their bones & hence bone development is also hampered.
Thats the reason nowadays children are requiring nutritional supplements every now & then.
