The growth of their own children is what the mothers are eager to hope, but recently there are often people in the Mothers group of Hunan Women and Children's Hospital who complain about the problem of children being "picky eaters".
"The children are five years old, eat nothing every day, and they are particularly unspiritual." The children who played together were several months younger than him, and they looked alive and older than my children."
"Children always don't like to eat, they are short, the doctor said that the spleen and stomach are not good, and they should regulate the spleen and stomach."
So what is the spleen and stomach that are often mentioned by parents? What role does it play in children's growth and development?
Dr. Li Xuebing of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine pediatrics of Hunan Women and Children's Hospital said that in fact, the loss of appetite is mostly caused by the weakness of the spleen and stomach.
Many parents don't know much about this, thinking that their children are just picky eaters. And after a long time, you will find that there are serious consequences.
Consequence one: The child does not like to eat.
The first thing that is affected by the spleen and stomach is the child's appetite, the child is the time to grow the body, if even the food is not good, how to grow the body?
Consequence two: poor physique, easy to get sick.
Weak temper and poor eating, nutrition will slowly fail to keep up.
The constitution will naturally deteriorate, especially for babies who are prone to illness, and repeated cycles will lead to worse constitution.
Chinese medicine calls the spleen and stomach the foundation of the day after tomorrow.
The spleen and stomach mentioned here are not just the two organs of the spleen and stomach, but a complete set of digestive and absorption systems. Chinese medicine believes that the spleen and stomach are in the middle focus, which is the main organ of the human body to digest, absorb and infuse the fines of the diet.
The continuation of human life activities and the metaplasia and enrichment of sperm and blood semen all depend on the subtlety of the water valley of the spleen and stomach.
That is to say, people's physical health is closely related to the spleen and stomach, and if the spleen and stomach function is good, it will grow and develop well, it is not easy to get sick, energetic and more energetic.
Children are in the stage of growth and development because of their delicate internal organs, and they have great demand for dietary nutrition, but they often cannot express hunger and fullness normally, and their diet often cannot be self-controlled, so they have the characteristics of "children's spleen is often weak".
Therefore, children often suffer from diarrhea, anorexia, constipation, vomiting and other diseases, similarly, if the spleen and stomach are weak, nutrient absorption is not enough, and the source of qi and blood biochemistry is lacking, it is easy to cause the child's yellow muscles to be thin, short, and weak.
How can parents judge whether the child's spleen and stomach function is good or not?

2. Look at signs: children with weak spleen and stomach are often taller and heavier than children of the same age, and some may also have signs such as yellowish complexion, green tendons at the root of the nose, obvious eye bags, short stature, thin body, thin hair, and yellow hair.
3. See a doctor: If you can't judge well according to the above symptoms, it is recommended that parents go to a regular hospital to find a professional doctor.
