Have parents with children encountered such problems? Children often disobey, as soon as they arrive at the point of eating, they make trouble, run around, sometimes, it is difficult to eat all the food, and there is a situation of accumulation of food, in fact, this is related to bad eating habits! In the case of accumulated food, the symptoms should be prescribed.
There are five conditions in which a child accumulates food:
1. Food accumulation can lead to malnutrition in infants, which in turn can lead to anemia. Infants with food accumulation absorb nutrients slowly. Compared with children of the same age, malnutrition, anemia and other physical weaknesses are often present, mostly caused by long-term persistent food accumulation and not solved in time.
2. Food accumulation will be detrimental to nutrient absorption, resulting in the baby's weakness and emaciation. Babies with weak gastrointestinal function may experience an imbalance in digestion and absorption. Food accumulation will make the nutrients of food unable to be delivered to the whole body, and the baby will become weaker and thinner.
3. Accumulated food is easy to cause pneumonia and repetitive colds, resulting in low resistance of the baby. Children's lungs are weak, and long-term repeated accumulation of food cannot provide a material basis for the healthy development of the baby's lungs, which in turn induces pneumonia and causes various discomforts.
4. Food accumulation can cause gastrointestinal dysfunction and affect the baby's appetite. When your baby accumulates food, the food accumulated in the stomach cannot be fully digested and absorbed. In this case, toxins can accumulate in the body, aggravating the discomfort of food accumulation, thus affecting the baby's appetite.
5. The baby's accumulation of food will lead to restless sleep and easy crying. Chinese medicine believes that the stomach is not harmonious, and the accumulation of food will make the baby's stomach bloat and grind teeth. In most cases, the baby's unexplained crying is caused by accumulated food discomfort, and parents should pay more attention.
Long-term accumulation of food will lead to the child's spleen and stomach weakness, poor digestion and absorption capacity, affecting the development of the body, and some trace elements can not be well ingested, will make the child lack of calcium, iron, zinc deficiency:
1. Calcium deficiency
Calcium is one of the essential elements of the human body, and teeth and bone are the main forms of calcium. 99% of the body's calcium is found in the teeth and bones, forming scaffolds and acting as a reservoir of calcium, while the other 1% is present in soft tissues. Extracellular fluid and blood and is involved in many important physiological functions of the human body. Therefore, whether calcium has an important impact on the growth and development of the human body, especially in children aged 1-10 years old in the rapid growth and development stage, calcium deficiency or calcium deficiency will affect the baby's appetite. Sleep quality, intelligent development, etc. are not conducive to the healthy growth of the baby.
2. Iron deficiency
Iron plays an important role in maintaining human health and is an indispensable factor in children's growth. Iron is one of the main raw materials for hemoglobin synthesis and the main role of hemoglobin is to the tissues of the human body. Organs transport oxygen, and iron deficiency in young children is likely to lead to insufficient iron deficiency qi and blood, which has a negative impact on growth status, memory, attention and other aspects.
3. Zinc deficiency
Zinc powder is known as the "flower of life."" The source of wisdom". Zinc is not like calcium and iron, as an essential trace element of the human body, the human body can not synthesize itself, can only rely on supplementation. Studies have shown that zinc deficiency not only directly leads to a decline in children's immune function, affecting growth and development, but also affects the health of adults. At present, the phenomenon of zinc deficiency in children and adolescents has become a serious public health problem worldwide.
