Myths about vitamin is needed to know that not one step. Consider the following explanation.

1. Children thin from lack of vitamins

People often think, a fat child must be healthy and agile. Though not necessarily, you know. Fat child is not necessarily enough vitamins. Because the relatively large body needs more food."Could be, the child who is less blood fat aka anemia."

Usually at the time of birth, the child will get food reserves (both iron and vitamins) is enough of his mother. However, as the rapid growth, it was relatively deficient in vitamin blood formation.For that to get extra folic acid, iron, and vitamin C.

Conversely, a thin child is not necessarily lack of vitamins. The idea that a fat child is healthy and unhealthy skinny kid is not valid anymore. "Standards now is to grow and develop. To find out if our child is ideal, can use heavy gauge chart, height and age are compared to each other," said Ghazali.
In addition, genetic factors can influence the child grew thin, fat, short, tall, and others.

2. Loss of appetite, just given drinking vitamins 

Often, right, we see parents who carelessly imposing the vitamin in a difficult child to eat."Imposing the vitamin could be considered the child's appetite to return. Actually, loss of appetite caused by the child many things, such as sore throat, thrush, teeth grow, teeth fall out, the child flu, or exposed to TB," said Ghazali.
Excessive vitamin can actually make a child loss of appetite, especially if the child loses Vitamin C aka ascorbic acid. If you eat an excess of acid will cause stomach pains. Moreover, if the child is not eating regularly, could have been injured in the stomach. But on this little boy is rare.
Ulcer disease usually affects adults. To that should take appropriate doses of natural vitamin 50 mg. Do not fall for ads that mention that high doses of vitamin swallow (up to 1000 mg) can help maintain strong stamina and not sickly.

3. Vitamin make children more intelligent

Vitamins can make children smarter, but the process is of course not directly. Smart is because the child develops. For example fast talking, walking, playing, and others.
After all, intelligence is determined by several factors, including environmental stimulation and nutritious food. In a nutritious food, one of the elements are vitamins. "Therefore, indirectly, vitamins can affect intelligence. But it should be remembered, vitamin needed only a little child."
