What should I do if my child has stomach fire and bad breath?

If a child has stomach fire and bad breath, of course we should pay attention to scientific conditioning. First of all, we should pay attention to developing regular and healthy eating and sleeping habits, not eating spicy, greasy and irritating foods. We should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, supplement vitamins, as well as mung beans, lotus roots, green tea, etc., which have a good effect of clearing stomach fire.

1. Regular work and rest and diet, especially staying up late will cause digestive system disorders, irritability, and endocrine disorders. 23:00-1:00 in the evening and 12:00-13:00 in the afternoon are the golden times for rest.

2. Do not eat spicy, greasy, or difficult-to-digest food. Hot drinks such as coffee should also be avoided to avoid causing stomach fire and digestive system discomfort.

3. Moderation is the way to maintain health. For example, in terms of diet, drinking a small glass of water or soup before a meal can dilute gastric juice and reduce appetite. Chewing slowly while eating can help you feel full, thus avoiding overeating due to excessive stomach heat. In addition, it is healthier to eat until you are 70% to 80% full. At night, the yang energy is weakened, so you should not eat too much, especially after 9 p.m., as eating midnight snacks will hurt your stomach.

4. Eat more fruits and vegetables to supplement vitamins, especially fruits that can clear away heat and fire and are easy to digest, such as apples, grapefruits, tomatoes, lemons, etc.

5. Foods that can reduce stomach heat include mung beans, lotus roots, green tea, etc. Especially drinking tea one hour after a meal can help regulate the body well.

6. Avoid negative emotions such as tension, anxiety, anger, etc. Anger generates fire, and people who get angry tend to be easily emotional. Conversely, if one can always maintain a calm and happy mental state, it will adjust the body and move towards a virtuous cycle.
