Chinese medicine believes that the spleen and stomach are the main organs of the digestive system, and its function is to transport Shui Gu, that is, to digest food and absorb nutrients for the body to use. In addition, Chinese medicine believes that "the spleen is prosperous in the four seasons", that is, people with strong spleen and stomach functions have strong resistance and are not easy to get sick. Children with spleen and stomach deficiency are particularly prone to catch a cold, showing sallow complexion, dark eyes, "blue veins" on the bridge of the nose, thin body, loss of appetite, restless sleep and frequent diarrhea. So how do children regulate their spleen and stomach?

If the child's diet is improper, overeating is fatty, partial eclipse is partial, and hunger is uneven, it may hurt his spleen and stomach. It is recommended to pay attention to proper daily feeding, don't let children eat too much meat, have a regular diet, and it is best to eat regularly and quantitatively, and also let children eat less snacks.

If the spleen and stomach are weak and cold inside, children should develop the habit of eating hot drinks, not cold water and cold drinks, and don't eat too much yogurt. Usually, you can eat more yam and taro, and eat less cold and greasy food. If the spleen and stomach are weak and internal heat, then you should eat less dry, fried, spicy and cold food, and it is recommended to eat more kelp, carrots, pumpkins and other foods.

second, what do children eat to regulate the spleen and stomach

1. Light food with coarse grains

At first, eat more light things to make the stomach slowly return to normal. The staple food for a few days after the festival should be mainly coarse grains, and corn, oats and other ingredients can be appropriately increased, and attention should be paid to increasing the proportion of dark or green vegetables. At the same time, drink more porridge and soup, such as fresh green leafy vegetables, millet porridge, noodle soup, etc., and add some pickles. These soups have a good "fire-clearing" effect, which makes your already "overwhelmed" gastrointestinal tract rest and adjust.

2. Drink more boiled water

Most people will have high fat intake during holidays. Use two or three days to reduce the intake of refined rice, flour, candy and sweet cakes, and force yourself to drink more water, especially boiled water, so as to speed up the metabolism of gastrointestinal tract and restore it to normal level as soon as possible.

3. Eat fruit to keep a balance

Many delicious foods eaten during festivals are fried or desserts, so eating too much naturally makes the stomach suffer. To adjust the unbalanced digestive function in festivals, fruits are quite effective. Orange juice and papaya can adjust the digestive function well, and they both have the effect of removing heat stagnation. In addition, buy some honeysuckle, chrysanthemum, kapok, add some candied dates and boil water to drink, which is not only sweet and delicious, but also has the function of balancing digestion.
