There are many children with strong stomachs and weak spleens nowadays. Parents are also trying hard to strengthen their children's spleens, but they just don't grow tall or gain weight, and they always accumulate food.
Another situation is that the child does not like to eat, does not feel hungry, and does not grow. I am very energetic, I don't like to sleep, I like to sweat, my hair is sparse and yellow, and I am malnourished, but no matter how I strengthen the spleen and eliminate accumulation, it doesn't work. I have tried Jianpi porridge, Shenling Baizhu powder, and Baohe pills. If you don’t grow taller, the biggest problem is actually the heat and humidity.
Children with a damp-heat constitution are more common in the south, because the humidity in the south blocks Yang Qi. If the child doesn't like to eat or sleep, and is very energetic, it should be considered that the heat has steamed the yang upward, and the child will not feel hungry. In this case, just remove the damp heat.
Children need nutrition, but because dampness and heat hinder Yang Qi, they will not be hungry, and the food they eat will not be digested and absorbed, and they will get tired easily. Children like those in Zhanlantou are very tired during adolescence. It's easy to get acne and pimples, but if you don't get them, the sooner you treat them, the better.
How to get rid of dampness and heat?

70% of lymphocytes in the human body are in the intestines. Many viruses and bacteria will hide in the intestines. Food accumulation for a long time can also cause intestinal lymph node swelling; some children may also have protrusions behind their ears. Lymph nodes.
When controlling your child's diet, don't cut it across the board, but slowly reduce the amount and gradually shrink the enlarged stomach.
Give your child a snack between breakfast and lunch, such as a bowl of miso soup with some yam. Yam can strengthen the spleen and keep the baby from being hungry.
At two or three o'clock in the afternoon, you can give your child some fruit or spleen-strengthening porridge, and turn it into a small and frequent meal to establish a correct feeding concept.
