Nutritional diet for children in autumn

Whenever the weather on Earth gets slightly cooler, we gradually put on more and more clothes. Faced with such weather, many parents are more concerned about their children's diet. The nutritional diet and clothing of children in autumn are an issue that many people are anxious about. In order to let children eat well, parents have tried many methods.

Check out some suggestions from experts on baby's diet after the beginning of autumn!

1. Clear away heat and relieve summer heat. Foods that clear away heat and relieve summer heat can not only relieve heat, reduce sweat and replenish fluids, but also increase appetite. Therefore, drinking some mung bean soup, or eating some lotus seed porridge, lily porridge and mint porridge is very beneficial. Eating more fresh fruits and vegetables can not only meet the nutritional needs of the human body, but also replenish the potassium lost through sweating.

2. Eat less cold food, such as watermelon, cantaloupe and cucumber, and don’t eat as much as you can in the summer. After a summer, people's bodies are greatly consumed, especially some elderly people, most of whom suffer from weak spleen and stomach. Therefore, cold foods, such as watermelon, cantaloupe, cucumber, etc., should be consumed in moderation.

3. "Less spicy and more sour" benefits the liver and lungs. People who love to eat spicy food should restrain themselves. Eating spicy food in summer can increase appetite, but it should be reduced appropriately after the beginning of autumn. Because autumn is the season for the lungs to be restrained, and too much spicy food will hurt the lungs. The purpose of "increasing sour" is to enhance the function of the liver, so eat more sour fruits and vegetables, such as oranges, lemons, kiwis and tomatoes.

4. Nourish yin and moisten the lungs to prevent dryness. After the beginning of autumn, in addition to drinking more boiled water, light tea, vegetable soup, fruit juice, soy milk, milk, etc., you can also eat some foods that have the effects of moistening the lungs, promoting fluid production, nourishing yin and clearing dryness, such as lotus root, lily, chestnut, red dates, white fungus, yam, water chestnut, etc.

5. Weight and appetite need to be balanced. After the hot summer, people tend to have a big appetite and eat more. Autumn is the harvest season, and there are a lot of delicious foods. People tend to indulge their appetite and eat a lot. This will not only cause obesity, but also cause various diseases, such as gout, hemorrhoids, fatty liver, etc. Be careful to stop eating just enough.

6. Chew slowly and thoroughly to benefit the intestines. A diverse diet with balanced nutrition can make up for the nutritional deficiencies caused by the hot climate and decreased appetite in summer. You should eat more chewy foods rich in fiber, such as celery, corn, etc. When eating, chew slowly and thoroughly, which is beneficial for the full digestion of food and complete absorption of nutrients, and can also maintain intestinal moisture and prevent intestinal dryness and constipation through fiber foods. Chewing more can produce saliva and moisten dryness, thus achieving the purpose of preventing and treating dry throat in autumn.

In order to get children to eat, the most important thing is to pair them with foods that they like. For example, some foods may suit children's appetites while others may not. At this time, we cannot force children to eat. We should choose different foods according to their physical and weight characteristics. Add some lotus root, lily, and chestnut to the porridge or food they drink. These are easy for children to accept.
