Children often feel tasteless when they have a cold and fever. Many parents will give their children some sugar to increase their appetite. Experts think this is the wrong method. Because the cold is hot, the secretion of digestive juice decreases, the activity of digestive enzymes decreases, the gastrointestinal movement is slow, and the digestive function is abnormal, which is often manifested as loss of appetite. Chinese medicine believes that "Gan can hurt the spleen". At this time, if the child eats too many sweets, it can consume a lot of vitamins in the body, and the saliva in the mouth will be reduced, but the appetite will be worse. In particular, eating too much sugar before meals will lead to an increase in blood sugar, which will make children lose their hunger and refuse to eat when eating. Eating too much sweets will also reduce immunity. A large number of sweets are rich in sucrose, fructose and other ingredients. When human blood sugar exceeds a certain level, the following two situations will occur: 1, which will accelerate the growth and reproduction of purulent bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and cause skin infections such as boils; 2. When sugar decomposes in the body to generate heat, it will produce a large number of acidic metabolites such as pyruvate and lactic acid, making the body acidic. Acidic constitution is not only easy to be infected, but also causes other childhood diseases, such as rickets, beriberi, chronic indigestion, bad temper and so on. In severe cases, it can also cause immune system diseases. The correct way should be to let children rest more and drink more water when they have a cold and fever, which will help to cool down and discharge harmful substances from the body. Diet should be light, digestible and nutritious. Copyright belongs to the author, and no one may reprint or use all or any part of it without the written permission of the author. Print recipes
