What should children eat if they are too thin? Try this

Nowadays, most of the reason why children are thin is because of their picky eating. It is not okay to not have regular meals and only eat some random snacks. Not only will it make the body thin but it will also lead to a lack of nutrition for the body. In terms of daily life and diet, you should properly combine meat and vegetables, eat more fruits and vegetables that are high in fat and rich in vitamins, and exercise more.

As long as you maintain a good lifestyle and diet control, and take advantage of the medicine prescribed by a Chinese medicine practitioner, a thin person who is not sick can also grow fat as an adult.

1. Regulate spleen and stomach functions. People who are thin usually have poor spleen and stomach (digestive) functions, either loss of appetite or poor digestion and absorption function, so no matter how much they eat, they will not gain weight. Therefore, people who want to gain weight must first nourish the spleen and stomach. In addition, while regulating the spleen and stomach, you must avoid consuming sour and cold foods that are damaging to the spleen and stomach functions (including slag, lemons, oranges, vinegar, lettuce, pickles, etc.), difficult-to-digest high-fiber vegetables (such as leeks, celery, etc.), and high-fat foods (such as chocolate, fried foods, etc.). Foods that can nourish the spleen and strengthen the stomach include lotus seeds, yam, lentils, purple rice, red dates, pork tripe, coix seed, etc. Among them, the most representative foods are four-shen pork tripe (small intestine), yam ribs, etc.

2. Three meals should be eaten on time to allow the stomach and intestines to develop normal functioning habits, and snacks should be avoided one hour before meals to avoid affecting appetite and affecting the intake of regular meals. Even if you want to gain weight, three meals should be the main source of nutrition and calorie intake. If you want to enhance the effect of weight gain, you can consider adding two more meals in between the three meals. As for the food content of the extra meals, it is better to eat foods with less fat and high protein and starch content, such as light-tasting nuts and natural grains. Eat less junk food to avoid increasing the burden on the stomach instead of gaining weight.

What should children eat if they are too thin?

If a child is thin, you should also pay attention to whether he is lacking zinc, because zinc deficiency will make it difficult to produce various digestive enzymes, thus affecting appetite. The best way to supplement zinc is through food. Even doctors will recommend taking both food and medicine, and switching to food as soon as possible. This is the safest way to supplement zinc. And no matter what is missing, the first thing to do is to see what is missing in the child’s diet. If it is not in the diet, of course there is something missing. The human body's demand for zinc is actually very low. As long as you pay a little attention to your diet, you will not be deficient. Generally, the phenomenon of iron deficiency and zinc deficiency at the same time is mostly caused by unbalanced nutrition. Recommended recipe: Add a spoonful of minced meat to chopped seaweed and eggs and steam them together into seaweed and minced meat egg custard. It is easy to eat and nutritionally balanced (containing calcium, iron, zinc, vitamin A, iodine, etc.). Eating it three or four times a week with various trace elements is enough. This is also the diet my child often ate when he was this age. He has never lacked any trace elements and his body is very strong.
