The function of the spleen and stomach is to transport water valleys, which are used to digest food and absorb the nutrients in them for the body to use. Moreover, Chinese medicine believes that the spleen is not affected by evil in the four seasons, that is, people with strong spleen and stomach function have strong resistance and are not easy to get sick.
Children with spleen and stomach deficiency are particularly prone to colds, showing yellowish complexion, dark eyes, "green tendons" on the bridge of the nose, thin body, loss of appetite, restless sleep, and often diarrhea.
How do children regulate their spleen and stomach? There are 5 basic ideas:

Daily routine
The last one, which every child should do well every day, is to get enough sleep.
For children, good sleep is too important, and poor rest will affect the function of the liver and spleen and inhibit the rapid growth and development of early childhood.
Parents usually let children go to bed early and get up early, develop good living habits, and usually take their children to outdoor sports, so that children can be exposed to fresh air, enhance physical fitness, and improve the weakness of the spleen and stomach.
