Adenoidal hypertrophy
3. Eat less and 2 eat more, the child has a strong spleen and stomach
Some parents may ask me, what is the relationship between the spleen and stomach and adenoids?
In fact, the occurrence of adenoid hypertrophy is very closely related to the spleen and stomach, which are closely related to the lungs, and the spleen is known as the mother of the lungs.
The occurrence of adenoid hypertrophy is closely related to the health of the spleen and stomach. The function of the spleen is closely related to diet and opens up the mouth, so a child's eating habits have a direct impact on the state of his spleen and stomach.
If you notice that your child has dry stools, hot hands and feet, sweating during sleep, unstable sleep, foul smell in the mouth, thickened tongue coating, etc., these may be signs of weakness of the spleen and stomach.
3. Eat less and do not hurt the child's spleen and stomach
So how to avoid a weak spleen and stomach? I recommend 3 to parents, eat less and eat more.
Strengthen the spleen and stomach 3. Eat less
1. First of all, avoid excessive intake of raw and cold foods, such as ice cream and cold drinks.
In addition, even fruits, due to their cold nature, should be eaten in moderation by children, generally accounting for about 10% of the diet.
For children with a weak spleen and stomach, it may even be possible to consider replacing some fruits with vegetables. Especially when your child has a cough or gastrointestinal discomfort, you should avoid cold fruits.
Of course, if the child wants to eat it very much, the fruit can be eaten after heating in moderation, but it should be noted that fruits rich in vitamin C, such as oranges and kiwifruit, can destroy their nutrients when heated, so it is not recommended to give them to children after heating.
2. Reduce the intake of sweets.
In traditional Chinese medicine, sweets are easy to get greasy, which in turn affects the function of the spleen and stomach.
Too much sugar not only affects the spleen and stomach, but it can also overactivate the lymphoid tissue, which is bad for both the adenoids and tonsils.
3. Greasy foods should also be avoided as much as possible, such as fried foods, baked foods, and snacks with high sugar, salt, and oil. These foods will increase the digestive burden on the spleen and stomach.
2. Eat more and raise your child's spleen and stomach
So, what should you give your child to eat?
01 Warm food
Warm food is also preferred by the spleen and stomach, so parents should prepare more warm food for their children, but also pay attention to avoid overheating food.
02 "Yellow" food
According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, yellow foods enter the spleen, so yellow foods such as corn, pumpkin, and sweet potatoes are good choices.
Finally, when a child has a weak spleen and stomach or adenoidal hypertrophy, parents need to have an in-depth understanding of the child's specific situation, physique and eating habits, and then formulate an appropriate dietary adjustment plan.
