1 Force your children to eat as much as possible

Many parents feel that as long as their children eat more, their body’s resistance will be better. So they blindly encourage their children to eat more, and even force them to eat a lot. In fact, there is a limit to how much a child's stomach can hold. Exceeding the child's tolerance will not only cause overnutrition and make the child puffy, but will also affect the digestion and absorption of the child's gastrointestinal tract. If things go on like this, the child's resistance will plummet.

It is best to let your children eat until they are seven to eight percent full and not overeat. If the child doesn't want to eat, don't force it to avoid causing resentment to the child.

2 Let children eat cold foods

In summer, many parents will buy popsicles, ice cream, herbal tea and other very cooling things for their children when they take them out. Although it can relieve heat, it will increase the burden on the child's gastrointestinal tract. Frequently drinking cold drinks will make children's intestines and stomach more delicate, and catching cold can easily cause diarrhea.

A common situation is that when some parents see their children having constipation and heavy breath, they think it is caused by internal heat, so they give their children something cold to drink or eat to clear the heat. However, doing so will only make your child's stomach more irritated.

In fact, it is normal for the spleen and stomach functions not to be well developed when the child is growing. It should be noted that eating less cold foods, such as watermelon, crab, ice cream, frozen drinks, etc. Eat more warm foods, such as apples, peaches, pork, fish and shrimp, etc.

3. Eat late-night snacks before going to bed

Frequently letting children eat late-night snacks will do a lot of harm but no good. This is because the human body's peak period of calcium excretion is often 4-5 hours after a meal. If you eat too late at night, when the peak period of calcium excretion arrives, the person will have fallen asleep, and urine will be retained, causing an increase in calcium in the urine. Over time, the formation of stone.

In addition, eating too rich late-night snacks, such as a large amount of meat, eggs, milk and other high-energy foods, can easily induce rickets in children, myopia in teenagers, and increase the difficulty of digestion. If the protein intake exceeds the child's absorption capacity, the food will remain in the intestines, produce toxins, irritate the intestinal wall, and induce cancer. Overeating may also cause insomnia.

If you want your children to have a normal spleen and stomach, it is best for parents not to always give their children extra meals at night. It is not advisable to drink milk before going to bed. If you are really hungry at night, it is best to wait at least 1 hour before going to bed after eating a midnight snack.

4 Take supplements immediately when you are sick

Usually when children are sick, they don’t like to eat very much, and they often lose weight. Parents are often anxious when they see their children like this. So I tried various ways to replenish my child's health. However, as the saying goes, "what is deficient cannot be replenished". Taking supplements when a child is in poor health and has a weak spleen and stomach will not only not make the child's body recover immediately, but will also make the child's appetite worse.

When your child is sick, you still need to take care of your spleen and stomach, and you can give your child some light food. After the child's body recovers, stew some delicious and nutritious food for the child, such as red dates and pig's trotters soup, chicken soup, crucian carp soup, etc.
