A child's poor appetite and lack of meat may be a sign of a weak spleen and stomach, in which case, the child's digestion and absorption function may be weak, resulting in insufficient nutrient intake. Through dietary therapy, the health of the child's spleen and stomach can be improved and their normal development can be promoted.
A specific case goes like this: there is a child who has a long history of poor appetite and slow weight gain. Parents notice this problem and start adjusting their child's diet. They chose foods that were easy to digest and nutritious, such as lean meats, fish, eggs, tofu and fresh fruits and vegetables. These foods not only provide the necessary protein and trace elements, but also help the child improve the function of the spleen and stomach.
At the same time, parents also reduce the intake of high-sugar, high-fat, and high-processed foods, as these foods may increase the burden on the spleen and stomach, leading to food accumulation. They also make sure that the child has a regular eating routine and avoids overeating.
After one month of dietary therapy, the child's spleen and stomach function has improved significantly, his appetite has increased, and his weight has increased by about 5 pounds. This example illustrates the importance of proper dietary modification and good eating habits for the healthy development of children.
Of course, each child's specific situation is different, so when adjusting the diet, it should be done according to the child's specific situation and consult a dietitian or doctor if necessary.
