Preteens need to boost calcium intake

When it comes to the beverage of choice, too many girls are choosing soft drinks instead of milk an may be suffering significant consequences as a result.

"The dietary choices girls make when they are in their preteens and teens can have a profound impact years later," said Dr. Kathleen Motil, a gastroenterology and nutrition specialist at Texas Children's Hospital in Houston. "Girls should consume 1,300 mg of calcium a day and engage in weight-bearing activities such as walking or jogging to build and maintain bone mass."

To increase calcium intake, experiment with low-fat cheeses, yogurt and milk in food preparation, select calcium-fortified juices and products and include high-calcium vegetables such as broccoli. Calcium supplements also may be helpful for girls who do not receive enough calcium from dietary sources.

Simple tips can keep kids healthy

Keeping children healthy during the school year can seem like an impossible feat, but parents can take steps to decrease those inevitable sick days, according to Dr. Nancy Kelly, a pediatrician at Texas Children's Hospital in Houston.

"One of the best things parents can do is to ensure their children receive recommended immunizations and have regular checkups," Kelly said. "Parents also can make sure children get enough sleep, eat nutritious meals and maintain a balanced schedule that allows time for study, household responsibilities and recreational or sports activities."

When children are at school, remind them to wash their hands often. Tell them never to share combs, hats or hair accessories to reduce exposure to head lice. Instruct your child not to sit close to classmates who are coughing or sneezing.
