Every TCM parent will try to give their children healthy food, but in the view of TCM, any healthy food should pay attention to the principle of "moderation", even if the rice is eaten too much, it will hurt the spleen and stomach.
It is almost the New Year, let's take stock of the good foods that should not be eaten more, so as to avoid children eating wrong and causing illness.
First, the fruit with large bias
Most fruits can be nourished and moist, and can be eaten moderately, but for children with delicate spleen and stomach, cold, warm, and hot fruits should be particularly vigilant and avoid eating too much.
Cold fruits eat a lot, the spleen and stomach are easily trapped by cold and wet, and children are prone to abdominal pain, diarrhea, and vomiting. Pay special attention to cold fruits: kiwifruit, dragon fruit, banana, grapefruit.

4. Hot meat

Pay special attention to beans in the multigrain porridge, beans are not easy to digest, eat a little more, the child is prone to bloating and accumulating food. Children with poor digestion, it is best to boil beans in soup, such as soybean rib soup, black bean walnut rib soup, drink soup without eating beans, you can also eat bean products tofu bamboo, tofu bamboo is the essence of beans, and good digestion and absorption.
Spring festival
Kids' needs are higher than ours!
Can't just satisfy the substance!
For the New Year, for us and the two generations of our fathers, eating and drinking has a lively atmosphere for the New Year, and for children now, their needs are already one level higher than ours, because as soon as they are born, they have rich materials, so they need spiritual prosperity more.
Now children, if there is no spiritual enrichment, material enrichment may be a disaster, think about why the child's physique is so poor now? Why do many children have psychological and personality problems? The root cause behind this is that spiritual nurturing is not worthy of abundant materials.
In the New Year, spend a little time with children to listen to the stories of Chinese medicine, tell children the wisdom of Chinese medicine, open their children's horizons, and enrich the spiritual world of children, which is the best New Year gift we give to children.
