During the winter vacation, the children finally got rid of the school meal and were able to order food at home and eat as much as they wanted. Parents are even happier when they see that their children want to eat, and they always feel that eating more will make their bodies stronger, and they wish that their children can replenish fish, meat and shrimp every day. As everyone knows, children accumulate diseases first, so eating is likely to cause children to accumulate food!
1. What is accumulation of food?
Accumulation of food, as the name suggests, refers to the stage when the child's acquired spleen and stomach have not yet developed perfectly, because of eating too much, beyond the child's spleen and stomach to bear, thereby damaging the spleen and stomach, food accumulation in the gastrointestinal tract formed in the gastrointestinal disease. It generally occurs in infants and young children, mainly manifested in abdominal distention, dry stool, abdominal distention and heat and other symptoms.
Second, what are the common symptoms of the baby's accumulation of food?
1. Odor in the mouth
When food accumulates in the body and cannot be digested well, it will be sour, and when it is close to the child's mouth and nose, it can obviously smell sour and smelly.
2. Foul stool
The stool smells of rotten rotten eggs. And there may also be things that are not digested, the color is black, etc.
3. Abnormal stool
Some children have more stools, but they are sticky and unhappy, their stomachs are bloated, and they have more exhaust than usual; some children have constipation, the interval between bowel movements is prolonged, the stool is hard, and it is difficult to defecate.
4. Sleep is not real
Children who accumulate food are easy to roll over at night, or like to sleep on their stomachs, grind their teeth at night, drool, talk about dreams, etc., and young children will cry and wake up, which is what Chinese medicine says about "stomach discord is restless".
5. Appetite disorder
In the early stages of accumulation of food, children often show a loss of appetite and do not want to eat. After a long time of accumulation of food, the child may be hungry, and after eating, he will feel bloated or stomachache, and repeat itself.
6. Local redness
After the child accumulates food, the heat of food accumulation in the body can easily lead to cheek redness, which is mostly located in the right cheekbone, just like smearing blush. In addition, some children's lips may also be red as if they were wearing lipstick.
7. The tongue becomes thicker
Parents can observe the child's tongue every day, if it is found that there is a thick tongue in the middle part of the tongue, or the tongue of the whole tongue becomes thicker and greasier, the possibility of accumulation of food is very large.
Third, what problems will be caused by accumulation of food?
1. Food accumulation and cough
Accumulation of food heat, there is heat in the lungs will cough, there is heat in the lungs, lung qi will be reversed, originally the lung qi is to be suppressed and dispersed, and now the lung qi is reversed, it will cause cough. At this time, eliminating food is the most fundamental way to treat cough, if it is only simple and rough cough is useless.
2. Food accumulation and fever
Food can not be digested, accumulated in the gastrointestinal tract, food accumulation time is long, will spoil, fermentation, in the stomach and intestines "compost", compost heat, hot steaming inside, the temperature of the body surface will rise.
3. Food accumulation and pneumonia
Clinically, there are many recurrent episodes of pneumonia in children, which are also related to food accumulation, mainly for two reasons:
First, the spleen is the source of sputum, and the lungs are the organs for storing sputum. Loss of food accumulation spleen and stomach Transport spleen deficiency sputum storage sputum in the lungs sputum obstruction airway sputum depression fever pneumonia hyperthermia.
Second, see Cough Cough. In the later stage of pneumonia, often cough phlegm symptoms are more prominent, many parents think that "the child cough will cough the lungs to cough bad, as long as the cough is stopped", blind use of cough medicine, antitussive drugs lead to sputum can not be coughed out, left in the lungs, a little wind blowing cold attack, again pneumonia.
As a pathological product, sputum runs through the whole process of pediatric pneumonia onset, and healthy sputum is the key treatment for preventing and treating pneumonia.
4. Food accumulation and repeated colds
Accumulation of food can lead to dysfunction of spleen and stomach digestion and absorption. Food can not be digested, piled up in the gastrointestinal tract, "the old valley does not go, the new valley does not accept", can not be pushed to the new, children appear poor diet, spleen and stomach weakness, new nutrient intake is reduced, spleen and stomach absorption dysfunction, malnutrition, poor resistance, immunity, prone to colds.
Food accumulation fever, stagnant food in the stomach and intestines "compost", the appearance of internal heat, internal heat transpiration, skin pores open, easy to feel the wind cold, repeated colds.
5. Food accumulation and diarrhea
Eating the gastrointestinal tract, blocking the normal rise and fall of the gastrointestinal tract, resulting in no lowering of stomach qi, no rise of the spleen, the appearance of abdominal distension and pain, diarrhea under sour and smelly feces, food accumulation can not go, diarrhea repeated attacks, difficult to cure.
Food accumulation diarrhea can not blindly stop diarrhea, to "general cause", "to cure the general", to eliminate the food guidance stagnation attack, the gastrointestinal stagnation is removed, diarrhea self-stop.
6. Food accumulation and constipation
In ancient times, there was a very famous medical book on the side of children, called "Early Childhood Play", which said: "Too full of spleen". On the one hand, being too full can be understood as eating too much, and it can also be understood as bloating and accumulating food. Therefore, there will be: too full spleen and spleen is often insufficient spleen and stomach transport is not as long as the accumulation of stagnant intestines accumulation of heat accumulation of heat accumulation of intestinal conduction disorders, constipation and constipation. Therefore, some parents see that their children are constipated, give their children some laxatives! While useful at the time, it became more serious later. Because its root cause is not in that position.
7. Food accumulation and anemia
The ancient pediatric monograph "Early Childhood Play" said: "Too full of spleen", which means that "children eat too full, will damage the spleen's transportation function". The spleen has the function of transforming the diet into subtleties, transporting the subtleties to the whole body, and nourishing the internal organs and limbs and hundreds of skeletons, which is called the spleen as the source of qi and blood biochemistry. Food accumulation damages the transport function of the spleen, resulting in spleen deficiency, insufficient qi and blood metaplasia, coupled with the rapid growth and development of children, the need for adequate nutrition, so the accumulation of food for a long time, it is easy to appear blood deficiency, anemia.
8. Food accumulation and night crying
The "Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic" points out: "Stomach disharmony is restless", you think, eat too much, how can you sleep? Conditioning the child's insomnia do not give the child peace of mind, the child has no special emotions, as long as it is not frightened, the child's insomnia should first start with the conditioning of the accumulation of food.
9. Accumulation of food and pharyngitis
Pharyngitis, called "laryngeal paralysis" in Chinese medicine. The throat is the portal of the lungs and stomach, and it is easy to "turn fire" when accumulating food, and the characteristics of fire are upward, so it will attack this portal, and children will easily have laryngeal paralysis. Therefore, when Chinese medicine treats pharyngitis for children, in addition to using antidotes and pharyngeal medicines, and then give children some anti-accumulation and heat clearance, the disease will get better quickly.
4. What are the reasons why babies accumulate food?
1, feeding is too full and unrestrained (daily feeding, and rush to add too much nutrition after recovery from illness) Some parents always feel that their children are not full in kindergarten, they have not eaten well, and they have to give their children extra meals when they go home.
2, too frequent feeding too frequent (staple food complementary foods snacks between each other interval is too short) Some parents never control the child's diet, as long as the child wants to eat, no matter what time, any snack is based on the child's personality
3, serious overnutrition of junk food too much
High nutrition long-term excess of tonics, artificial vitamins and minerals and other nutritional products, high protein foods
Too greasy meat fat greasy fried too much (including too much greasy milk soup for nursing mothers, etc.)
How sweet and creamy or too much sweet (such as brown sugar or white sugar water Cake candy Chocolate Honey water, etc.)
There are too many heavy foods such as spicy and salty
More snacks A variety of snacks and industrial colored drinks too many carbonated drinks all kinds of fancy dairy drinks...
Junk food is more than a variety of snacks and industrial colored drinks too many carbonated drinks A variety of fancy dairy drinks
4, cold and cold too much
Eat too much cold cold food or drink, such as cold water, chilled food and drinks, ice cream, etc
Too much fruit to feed raw and cold fruits Too much juice, especially not ripe bananas (big cold) watermelon raw pears and so on
In addition to the well-known seafood, river fresh bitter melon, cucumber, mung bean and other cold foods, those that are more difficult to digest or exceed the digestive capacity of children of this age have destructive and inhibitory effects on the spleen and stomach can be considered "cold food".
Too much milk soy milk unnecessary milk powder (many children are still mainly milk powder when they are four or five years old) Pure milk Fresh milk Soy milk yogurt and so on too much
Abdomen back cold abdomen back waist feet do not pay attention to dress to keep warm.
5. Wrong medical treatment, excessive medical treatment, mis-conditioning
Antibiotic abuse errors and excessive heat-clearing cold medicines (including traditional Chinese medicine) Infusions antibiotic drugs
Drug abuse errors or too much anti-diarrhea drugs/dietary therapy/fruits (such as montmorillonite probiotics banana dragon fruit, etc.), many children have long eaten probiotics, stomach digestion tablets, etc. as health products
Because many kindergarten children are still eating milk powder, it is easy to "catch fire", so many parents give their children solid drinks such as milk partners who clear the heat for a long time, or herbal tea to drink for children, resulting in poorer and worse spleen and stomach function of children.
6, bad family atmosphere Bad living environment
Family tension and poor atmosphere with family members (quarrels between husband and wife or mother-in-law and daughter-in-law Cold War, etc.)
Noisy environment around home, often noisy sounds (poor sleep, affecting metabolism)
Mental stress staying up late or overworked, stressful or emotionally poor (for nursing mothers or school-age babies)
When eating in a bad eating atmosphere, there is often a noisy cold war at home, scolding children, educating and criticizing children, etc
Environment cold and humid living environment is too cold and humid Dry and hot, etc. (such as humid mountain areas, basements and other environments)
5. How to prevent the baby from accumulating food?
1. Children develop regular eating habits.
Three meals are regularly and quantitatively, rather than eating when hungry, and not overeating. Bad eating habits such as picky eating, hunger and fullness must be corrected in time, which also requires adults to lead by example, because children's eating habits are imitated by adults.
2. Let children eat cold, greasy and irritating foods less.
The stimulation of the spleen and stomach by these foods will make the child's already delicate spleen and stomach worse. Eating more digestible, warm foods can reduce the burden on the spleen and stomach, and it is not easy to produce accumulated food.
3. Work and rest rules.
At night, the body's digestive function will gradually decline, develop a regular work and rest, avoid eating or drinking milk at night, can make the spleen and stomach have a rest time, effectively improve the accumulation of food.
4. Strengthen the amount of activity of children
More activity in the gastrointestinal peristalsis to be active, food can be better digested, excreted from the body.
5. Adjust the diet structure
Eat more foods that are easy to digest and absorb, and do not blindly increase high-calorie and high-fat foods. Let the baby eat more vegetables and fruits, eat less meat, appropriately increase rice, pasta, and high-protein diet in moderation, so as not to increase the gastrointestinal burden.
6, seven points full, good health
No matter what kind of food, no matter how nutritious you can't eat too much, otherwise not only can't strengthen the body, but it will only backfire in the effect, and if you don't get it right, you will form a food accumulation, diarrhea and other conditions, hurting the baby's body.
7. Three meals
Arrange three meals a day for the baby to be regular and quantitative, can not be hungry a full meal, the stomach and intestines and people, the rest when resting, the work when working, otherwise it will disrupt the gastrointestinal biological clock, affecting the normal operation of digestive function.
8, do not eat too much at night
The baby has a large amount of activity during the day and can digest what he eats, but at night, the stomach is slow, and it is easy to accumulate food. Therefore, don't be too full at night, even if you drink milk, you should have more water and less milk powder.
9, nursing mothers should pay attention to eating
For the mothers of infants and young children in the feeding period, they should also avoid eating, pay attention to a light diet, and avoid a high-fat, high-protein diet. If the mother eats excessively, the baby may "milk accumulation".
