During the Spring Festival, children are prone to accumulate food due to the abundance of delicious food. Stasis refers to food staying in the gastrointestinal tract for too long, which can not be digested and absorbed normally, leading to abdominal distension, abdominal pain, loss of appetite and other symptoms. The following are some ways to prevent and alleviate food accumulation:
1. Control the amount of food: avoid overeating, eat in moderation at every meal, and don't overeat.
2. Reasonable food collocation: eat more fruits and vegetables and less greasy, spicy and irritating food.
3. Pay attention to eating habits: don't eat and play, watch TV and other distracting behaviors, but chew slowly and fully.
4. Increase exercise: appropriately increase children's outdoor activities, promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, and help digestion and absorption.
5. Drink warm water: Drinking a cup of warm water after meals can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and help digestion.
6. Traditional Chinese medicine conditioning: If the child has symptoms of food stagnation, you can consider using some traditional Chinese medicines for conditioning, such as hawthorn, dried tangerine peel and Atractylodes macrocephala.
In short, the key to prevent food accumulation is to develop good eating habits and living habits, and pay attention to proper exercise and rest. If the child has symptoms of food accumulation, he should seek medical advice in time and follow the doctor's advice for treatment.
