The hot summer is coming, although it is still a period of time away from the three volt days, but now all parts of the country have successively entered the high temperature mode, and when the high temperature season comes, the human body's digestive system is not only the appetite of adults will become worse, the appetite of children will also decline, at this time, the family has a cute treasure, is not worried about children do not eat, nutrition can not keep up with what to do, especially the family has the elderly will chase the children all over the house to feed, the last meal down, make "sweaty".
Why does your child have a worse appetite?
1. The digestion capacity becomes worse
High summer temperatures can cause subcutaneous blood vessels to dilate, resulting in less blood flowing through the stomach and reduced digestive function.
2. The loss of body fluids is too fast
Children are in the growth and development stage, the metabolism will be more vigorous than adults, which is also the reason why children often sweat, high temperature weather makes the child's body in order to speed up the body heat dissipation, secrete more body fluids to reduce the body surface temperature, and then indirectly affect the digestion of food.
3. The quality of sleep decreases
Summer weather is hot, mosquitoes are more, children are prone to prickly heat, mosquito bites lead to reduced sleep time at night, lack of energy during the day, low mood, and poor appetite due to irritability.
4. Greed
Children like to drink some cold drinks or ice cream in the summer, which will cause gastrointestinal stimulation and damage to the stomach muscles, which will affect the digestive function and lead to a decline in the child's appetite. Frequent walking around in the air-conditioned room and outdoor environment, the alternation of hot and cold leads to a decline in physical function, parents should pay special attention.
The sun bakes outside, and there are rolling heat waves everywhere, and even people in the air-conditioned rooms are lazy and don't want to move. On this hot summer day, people's stomachs are easily affected. As a result, the baby who usually eats obediently has a poor appetite and gradually loses interest in food. So how to let the child obediently eat, awaken the child's appetite, today Xiaobian and you share a few simple appetizer methods.
First, drink plenty of cold boiled water
For children who often sweat, parents should pay attention to timely replenishment of water, can not wait for the child to be thirsty to replenish water, at this time in fact, the body has been seriously dehydrated, you can prepare a larger kettle for the baby, and prepare enough warm water when going out. Generally speaking, the baby's daily water replenishment should reach 500ml to 800ml. Parents often remind children to drink water, which can be distinguished by the color of urine, and yellow indicates that the baby's body is dehydrated, and it is necessary to replenish water in time to see if the amount of water he drinks in a day is up to standard.
Second, a light diet
Chicken, duck and fish meat are rich in protein food, can provide the child's growth and development with the required nutrients, but this kind of ingredients often contain a lot of fat and purines, eat more words easy to make children "greasy", at this time smart parents can try to change a way of cooking, such as the original braised braised can be replaced by steaming, to reduce greasy and heavy taste, light original taste can make the lack of appetite in the summer baby more easily accepted Oh.
Parents can choose seasonal fruits and vegetables to make heat-proof and cooling soup, such as loofah flower clam soup, bitter melon small intestine soup, etc. have a good role in appetizing, Xiaobian reminds everyone that although the soup is good, but the nutrient content is low, it can not be used to fill the stomach Oh!
3. Coarse grains of vegetables and fruits
For babies with a bad appetite, parents can choose vegetables and fruits with acidic substances, and can choose small tomatoes or tomatoes to make auxiliary ingredients in the diet, and then the staple food can try to choose coarse grains, which are rich in dietary fiber and can also inhibit stomach acid. Fruits can choose grapes, kiwi fruits and other sour foods can not only quench thirst, but also eat stomach, and coarse grains such as corn porridge, millet porridge and other coarse grains also help to enhance the baby's gastrointestinal peristalsis, which are all foods that are conducive to enhancing the baby's appetite.
Fourth, food diversification
Babies will always be attracted by colorful colors and novelties. When making food, parents can choose different colors of fruits or vegetables to make the color of the ingredients, for example, when making noodles, we can steam the purple potatoes into purple potato puree, and then put them into the flour to make purple dough, and then make noodles, such noodles are both nutritious and beautiful colors, which can increase the baby's appetite, or knead the rice into cute animal rice balls, change the pattern to naturally arouse the baby's interest.
Fifth, sufficient outdoor exercise time
Due to the summer heat, parents will reduce their children's outdoor play time, resulting in relatively little outdoor activity for babies. As a result, the child's physical motor function is not mobilized, and the speed of gastrointestinal peristalsis will naturally slow down. So that food stays in the stomach without rapid digestion to produce a sense of fullness, the child does not have the appetite to eat, so parents can choose to take the baby out to exercise in the evening, when the weather is not hot, the air is full of oxygen, very suitable for children to play, and can promote food digestion, so that children feel hungry. Xiaobian reminds parents to remember to give their babies light clothing and timely replenishing moisture to prevent heat when they go out.
Sixth, create an atmosphere
When parents are dining with their children, they should create a good dining atmosphere for their children, let the children focus on the bowl, do not open the mobile phone, and do not distract themselves from playing other things. When the baby has no appetite, do not be harsh on him, be more patient, do not urge the baby to eat a bite quickly when he has not finished eating a bite, do not give the baby a lot of psychological pressure, otherwise it will affect the baby's appetite.
