Recently, most of the children who come to see a doctor at the Lian's TCM Pediatric Clinic have been eating because of accumulation of food. Many parents reflect that children accidentally accumulate food, repeated repetition is always not good, eat less afraid of nutrition can not keep up, eat more and easy to accumulate food, do not know what to do.
In fact, the conditioning of accumulated food also requires a process, and it is a bit difficult to have a significant improvement at the beginning of the conditioning. Parents need to observe the child's tongue, tone, face, sleep and second stool every day, etc., it is best to use the mobile phone to record the daily changes, especially the tongue.
Lian's Chinese medicine said that children's easy accumulation of food is mainly related to three major factors.
First, the physiological factors of children
Children are "often insufficient in spleen" and insufficient yang qi power. Under normal circumstances, children in the normal diet state, three to five days will appear to accumulate food phenomenon, so parents need to arrange vegetarian food every two or three days to reduce the burden on the spleen and stomach. When the child has the phenomenon of accumulated food, parents should not panic, and adjust the feeding method in a timely and reasonable manner.
Second, parents over-feed
Overfeed doesn't necessarily mean eating too much. Now people's material life is rich, children drink milk every day, eat meat, etc., nutrition is not lacking, but easy to excess, excessive intensive nutritional intake, easy to make the child's spleen and stomach overburdened, easy to accumulate food. Therefore, parents should control their children's diet every day, and eating right is often more important than eating well.
Third, wet evil traps the spleen soil
It is not easy for children to consume food after accumulating food, it is likely that the moisture in the body is too heavy, and the spleen and stomach are weak, so it is easy to accumulate food. This situation is mostly seen in children in the south, the rainy season in the north.
If you find that the child's tongue is slippery, there are tooth marks, and the stool is relatively bad, it is likely that there is moisture in the body, and it is necessary to go to the clinic in time to remove dampness and spleen, like fat and thick, raw cold and cold food to eat less or not to eat. Parents need to pay attention to the fact that when the child digests well, it can also consolidate the spleen of the child through drugs or massage, and fundamentally improve the problem of repeated accumulation of food in the child.
In addition, parents need to reflect on whether there is improper feeding.
For example, parents have fixed a set of feeding methods, in the case of children's accumulation of food or no appetite, but also continue to require children to eat according to the prescribed amount, in order to let children eat, coaxing and yelling, soft and hard at the same time. In fact, this practice is very easy to damage the spleen and stomach. When the child's digestive state is poor, parents should let the child eat less and more meals, eat more soft food, and improve the problem of long-term food accumulation of children.
For example, parents are accustomed to stimulating their children's stomach with cold foods to help defecate. When the child is constipated, many parents are accustomed to feeding their children bananas, lactic acid bacteria, dragon fruit, yogurt, or herbal tea to help laxative, although in the short term there is an effect, but these foods are cold nature, it is easy to damage the child's spleen and stomach, so the accumulation of food, constipation is also repeated, winter should pay more attention to reduce the consumption of cold food.
