Your nine year old constantly wants to eat could there be something medically wrong?

There could be a medical problem. Consult a doctor/physician.Answerno there is nothing wrong it might be bcause there hungry and they didnt eat all day or they just need to eat ! AnswerYes there could be something medically wrong, yet children metabolism is automatically fast, which causes them to eat more. Also it may be in the child's mind (he/she things that they need to eat it before it's all gone). I would just make sure whatever my child is eatting in my presents, that he/she gets a good source of protein, good carbohaydrates (fruits (in place of sweets)/vegetables/whole grains etc), good fats (lean meats/white cheese/olive oil for cooking), peanuts, whole milk, for a child. This is for your child's bone density, because as bones grow more calcium is needed by age 10. By the time your child reaches adulthood bone density reaches it peak. This will help support the skeleton when they become adult. ( I wouldn't give my child nothing less at this age than 2% milk). (Prevent Osteoporsis).


Does high calcium intake prevent osteoporosis?

A high rich in calcium can help to prevent osteoporosis, but it will not always prevent it and cannot do so alone. Vitamin D is also necessary, because without it, we cannot properly absorb the calcium. Adults between the ages of 18 and 50 should get about 1000mg of calcium per day, while adults over 50 should get about 1200mg. However, calcium overdose can be dangerous as well, and you avoid consuming very high amounts of calcium. Usually up to 1500mg is recommended, and at 2500mg or higher, symptoms of overdose will begin.
