When I officially entered the dog days, I suddenly felt that the weather was unbearable, and adults could sweat while sitting, not to mention children with faster metabolism. In hot weather, many children have poor appetite and are restless. Mothers may wish to eat these foods for more children while paying attention to heatstroke prevention and cooling, which is not only nutritious and delicious, but also allows children to run around in the dog days.

① Chicken

As the folk saying goes, "Eat a chicken in ups and downs, and it will keep you healthy for a year". In many places, chicken is eaten head first. Chicken is a meat with relatively low fat content and refreshing taste. Let children eat chicken in moderation in the dog days, which can supplement the calories consumed in the dog days.

② lotus root

Although lotus root is out of mud, it not only maintains a white appearance, but also has a refreshing taste, which has a faint fragrance.

Let children eat some lotus root in moderation in the dog days, which has the effects of invigorating stomach and digestion, stimulating appetite, and improving children's immunity. When mothers make lotus roots for their children, they can make them into sweet and sour lotus roots, steamed lotus roots with powder, fried lotus roots with vegetables, etc. Eating a little every day can not only help digest food, but also prevent food accumulation from causing stomach fire.

③ Radish

"Eat radish in winter and ginger in summer". I believe everyone is familiar with this sentence, but it doesn't mean that radish is not good to eat in summer. Radish has many functions and is rich in vitamins. Refreshing and refreshing, giving children radish in moderation is the best food for treating lung heat and cough.

Moreover, radish can accelerate the exhaust effect after eating, and can prevent children from flatulence and colds. Mothers can stew mutton and radish soup for their children in moderation, which I believe children prefer.

④ Pumpkin

Pumpkin is rich in vitamins, amino acids and minerals, and tastes sweet and soft. Proper feeding to children has the effects of invigorating stomach, promoting digestion and promoting growth and development.

Pumpkin tastes good, and can be made into staple food or dishes for children. My general practice is to peel the pumpkin, put it in a pot and steam it directly, and steam it and cut it into pieces to keep the pumpkin fragrant and delicious, which children especially like to eat.

⑤ Mutton

Apart from the chicken mentioned above, mutton is also one of the best meats for children in dog days. In Xuzhou, there was such a day when the custom first appeared, and in the following month, they ate mutton and mutton soup, so they called Fu Yang.

mutton is booming, so why let the children eat it? The dog days are the hottest time of the year, and the heat inside the human body will spread to the body surface from the inside out, which will inevitably increase the intake of cold food and accelerate the occurrence of deficiency and cold in the stomach, which is not conducive to children's health. At this time, in order to alleviate the deficiency and cold, children can eat mutton in moderation to warm their stomachs, regulate the deficiency and cold, and let the yang in the body grow. Pay attention to the right amount for children to eat.

Because of the hot weather in summer, children sometimes have a bad appetite, like cold food and heavy food. In order to avoid affecting their health, mothers should pay attention to controlling their children's diet.

① Avoid eating too many cold watermelons

It's hot and hot. I just came home from outside and took a bite of iced watermelon, then turned on the air conditioner. It's as comfortable as a fairy! Children also eat like this, and an ice watermelon will be full, and they will not eat well at dinner. It is very bad for their health to come down in a summer. Watermelon is originally cold, and it is twice as cold after being chilled. Eating too much will not only cause abdominal pain, but also hurt the child's spleen and stomach.

② Avoid drinking a lot of water at a time

After sleeping, children's water consumption also increases, and they only remember to drink water when they are tired of playing with other friends. Some children gulp down a glass of water in one breath, which is very refreshing. In fact, drinking a lot of water at a time will dilute the child's gastric juice. If you drink water before eating, it will affect digestion. In addition, drinking a lot of water at a time will also cause the decline of water and salt, and there will be discomfort symptoms such as fatigue.

Therefore, mothers should pay attention not to replenish too much water to their children at one time, and replenish water several times.

③ Eat less heavy food

After sleeping, I have a bad appetite, so I want to eat some sour or spicy or salty food to taste better. Many parents take their children to eat roadside barbecues, mala Tang and so on. These foods not only have health and safety problems, but also contain a lot of oil and spices. Eating more will bring a burden to children's intestines and stomach, and even cause diarrhea, vomiting and abdominal pain.

Therefore, even if you have a bad appetite, you should keep a light diet, work hard on your diet to open your child's appetite, and don't give your child heavy food.

④ Eat less ice cream and iced drinks

"My children only eat popsicles in summer, and they can lose more than five pounds in one summer." This is what a mother told me last time. In fact, this is not only a problem of children getting thinner, but letting children eat a lot of ice cream and drink a lot of iced drinks in the dog days will do harm to their health! It will be too late to wait for malnutrition, spleen and stomach weakness, and picky eaters!

In fact, there are many recipes suitable for children after sleeping. Mothers can cook delicious food for their children in a variety of ways. I recommend the following recipes to make children fall in love with eating on a hot summer day.

carp soup

It's warm and humid in the summer. If you give carp soup to your child properly, it will be easily digested and absorbed by your child's body, which will help to dispel dampness, stimulate appetite, promote diuresis and reduce swelling.

2. Cut the carp into two pieces and put them in a casserole.

3. Cut the onion and ginger into pieces and put them in a casserole.

4. Add enough water, bring to a boil with high fire, and then simmer for 41 minutes.

Job's tears, yams and red dates porridge

Job's tears and yams have the effect of eliminating dampness and strengthening the spleen, and red dates have the effect of enriching blood and benefiting qi. When boiled into porridge, it is refreshing and appetizing for children.

1. Soak Coix seed in water for 2 hours, and cut yam into hob blocks. (note: don't enlarge the rice)

2. Add clean water and cook for 1 hour on low heat.

3. Turn off the heat when the mung bean is boiled and let it bloom for ten minutes.

4, according to the child's taste, you can add some rock sugar.

cucumber cake

cucumber is a representative of cool vegetables, with high water content and high potassium and low sodium. Cooking some cucumber dishes for children in the dog days can play a role in promoting fluid production, quenching thirst, relieving summer heat, expelling toxin and relaxing bowels.

1. Mix flour with salt and stir well. Pour cucumber juice into the batter and stir the batter.

2. Brush the electric baking pan with a little oil and scoop a spoonful of batter into it.

3. Put out the fried cucumber cake for later use. If you have shredded chicken and carrots, you can roll them up and eat them. If not, you can eat cucumber cakes directly.
