The second phase of Project Stellar
Children skipping meals is a headache for many parents. Faced with this situation, some parents choose to solve the problem by "starving him for a meal", but is this method scientific and effective?As an experienced veteran Chinese medicine practitioner, I tell you that the answer is not as simple as we imagined.
First of all, let's make it clear that skipping meals can be an intrinsic problem in the body. Traditional Chinese medicine theories suggest that loss of appetite is often related to dysfunction of the spleen and stomach. The spleen and stomach are important organs for digestion and absorption in the human body, and if the spleen and stomach function is not perfect, it will lead to loss of appetite, indigestion and other problems. Therefore, the key to solving the problem of children skipping meals is to regulate the spleen and stomach.
Secondly, we can use TCM recipes to help regulate the child's spleen and stomach function. For example, one of the classics of traditional Chinese medicine, "Jin Kui Yaolu", there is a party called "Bazhen Tang", which includes ginseng, astragalus, atractylodes and other medicinal materials. These herbs have the effect of invigorating qi and strengthening the spleen, which can improve the function of the spleen and stomach and increase appetite. Of course, before using traditional Chinese medicine, you must find the accurate ** and avoid blind use.
In addition, in addition to traditional Chinese medicine conditioning, we can also start with daily diet and rationally match food to improve children's appetite. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the harmony of the five flavors, taking into account the five flavors of sour, sweet, bitter, pungent and salty, is the key to maintaining the function of the spleen and stomach. Therefore, parents can prepare some foods such as bananas, apples, tomatoes, etc., to increase their children's appetite.
In addition, TCM also emphasizes the way of health preservation and the impact of reasonable lifestyle on the function of the spleen and stomach. It is recommended that parents ensure that their children have regular work and rest time, sufficient sleep and appropriate exercise, which can enhance children's digestive function and promote the recovery of appetite.
In short, skipping meals is a complex problem that cannot be solved simply by "starving him for a meal". As parents, we should pay attention to the physical condition of our children, understand the causes, and take scientific and effective methods to help them regain their appetite. When encountering such problems, it is best to consult a professional doctor or TCM physician to get professional guidance and **.
