How to treat children’s gastrointestinal dysfunction?

Children's gastrointestinal function is usually imperfect. If they are not careful about their diet, their gastrointestinal function will become disordered, which will cause great impact, such as constipation or diarrhea, which will seriously affect the child's absorption of nutrients and thus affect the child's physical and mental health. So how should children's gastrointestinal dysfunction be adjusted?

1. Eat more fruits to balance digestion

Eating too much sweets can easily cause symptoms such as chest tightness, diarrhea, sluggish appetite, cold hands and feet, and the tongue coating may also turn white. Eating more apples and guavas can slowly alleviate these symptoms. Eating a proper amount of guava or drinking half a cup of guava juice can effectively control diarrhea, and eating apples with the skin also has an antidiarrheal effect.

2. Green vegetables supplement fiber

Pay special attention to the supplement of dietary fiber. The reason why dietary fiber is easily deficient is because of insufficient intake of fresh fruits and vegetables, coupled with reduced exercise during the holidays, which can cause constipation or poor defecation. Therefore, you should eat more fresh vegetables, less meat, and supplement enough fiber.

3. It is best to slowly adjust the three meals a day with vegetarian food, and you must eat vegetables for breakfast

Fresh vegetables such as lettuce, mustard greens, carrots, celery, etc. are best eaten as staple foods. These vegetables, which are rich in chlorophyll, carotene, vitamins, and fiber, can achieve a nutritional balance with a large amount of meat, fish, and eggs, and also have the significance of regulating the stomach. It is best not to cut the vegetables. You must chew them thoroughly before swallowing them. This will allow saliva to be secreted naturally to aid digestion.

4. Drink more water to remove greasiness

Reduce the intake of refined rice, noodles, candy, and sweet cakes, and let children drink more water, especially boiled water. This can speed up gastrointestinal metabolism and reduce the harm of large amounts of meat and alcohol to the liver. Clear the grease from the gastrointestinal tract and restore the gastrointestinal tract to normal levels as soon as possible.

5. Eat light food with whole grains

Eat more whole grains on a daily basis, and you can add corn, oats and other ingredients in appropriate amounts. Pay attention to increasing the proportion of dark or green vegetables. At the same time, drink more porridge and soup, such as fresh green leafy vegetables, millet porridge, noodle soup, dumpling soup, etc. These soups have a good "heat-clearing" effect, which can allow the "overburdened" gastrointestinal tract to rest and adjust.
