As the saying goes, children grow in spring and grow in summer. Summer is also the season when children grow taller. How to help children grow taller?

First of all, you need to enhance your immunity. You can usually eat more sesame oil. Sesame oil is rich in calcium and can be used for cooking or mixing noodles. You can also use some kelp to make porridge or soup, and make more immune soups, such as : Make soup with fish maw, dangshen, and raw meat.

Fish maw is a fish from the sea, the essence of fish (fish maw). The nutritional value of fish maw is the best. This soup is not only good for beauty, it tastes slippery and sticky. In fact, fish maw can replenish blood. , enhance children's immunity, suitable for all ages. You can usually use lean meat to stew fish maw for children to drink.

For children, exposure to the sun can also promote calcium absorption. Don’t stay home too much and go out for more exercise.

Seahorse soup is also very effective in increasing height, and it can also enhance immunity. Let me share with you this immune-boosting soup.

Make soup with seahorse, Atractylodes macrocephala, Huaiyam, Shixiantao, yuanrou and pork bones.

Traditional Chinese medicine is named after its aromatic origin. Atractylodes must be selected from Zhejiang and needs to be fried with rice. Huaiyam comes from Henan.

If there are skin problems, you can add black snake and flower snake and make soup with seahorse, which can enhance our body's immunity and relieve skin problems.

For children with weak spleen and stomach, they must avoid cold drinks, biscuits and candies. They can use lotus seeds, Huaishan and Gorgon to cook lean meat soup to enhance their immunity.

Children are prone to tonsillitis when they are 4 or 5 years old. In addition to abstaining from oral hygiene, you can usually drink some bamboo bee salt water. The other thing is to pay attention to the child's stool. The stool is dry and blocked (sheep feces). If your mouth is red and you have bad breath, it is time to soothe your intestines and relieve constipation.

Let’s talk about skin diseases again. Common ones include eczema and dermatitis!

Eczema is symmetrical, acute and chronic, and affects both the left and right hands and feet;

Dermatitis: irregular growth, seasonal or contact nature;

Skin diseases are closely related to human immunity. If you don’t detoxify and clean your intestines regularly, your own internal organs will become dysfunctional, which will lead to a decline in immunity!

There are also many people who have small granules on their necks. This is caused by an acidic constitution, and there are also problems with human immunity;

Polyps in the intestines are also caused by an acidic constitution. ; The most convenient daily method is to eat alkaline water rice dumplings and soup to eliminate accumulated food.

Then there is detoxification and the elimination of garbage accumulated in the body; for example, if you make soup with plantain and astragalus, the frequency of urination will increase after drinking it, which is also a sign of detoxification.

Go to the kitchen more and go to the hospital less often. Anti-inflammatory Western medicine is very harmful to human kidneys!

Finally, remember the advice given to us by the imperial doctor

"Yin diseases occur in the bones, and Yang diseases occur in the blood."

Yin diseases occur in the flesh, and Yang diseases

Yin diseases occur in summer. ”

To briefly explain, the above five sentences come from the Huangdi Neijing, also known as Wufa. "Five diseases occur" means that the incidence of the five internal organs has a certain pattern.

For example, the kidney is a yin organ and controls the bones to produce marrow, so the disease occurs in the bone marrow;

The heart is a yang organ and controls blood, so the disease occurs in the blood;

The spleen is a yin organ and governs meat, so the disease occurs in meat;

The liver is a yang organ and governs spring, and the root cause of the disease is winter;

The lungs are yin Zang is mainly in autumn, and the root cause of disease lies in summer.

Regarding the origin of liver disease in winter and the origin of lung disease in summer, this is based on the principle of the rise and fall of yin and yang. In summer, yang qi is stronger and yin qi is weak, so yin diseases occur in summer; in winter, yin diseases occur. Yin Qi is strong, Yang Qi is weak and Yang diseases occur in winter.

This is where we share the health-preserving soup recipe for the Beginning of Summer.
