It is known that skipping meals cannot meet the nutritional needs of children and can affect their growth and development. So how can we stimulate the appetite and strengthen the spleen of children?

Foods to strengthen the spleen and stomach of children

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the main function of the spleen and stomach is to produce qi and blood, which is the foundation of a strong body. Therefore, in daily life, parents should take care of their children's spleen and stomach from all aspects. The most effective way is to let your children eat more foods that have the effect of strengthening the spleen and stomach, such as rice, corn, etc. Specific foods recommended for strengthening the spleen and stomach for children are as follows:

1. Corn has a good effect of strengthening the spleen and replenishing the middle, and it can also have the effect of removing dampness and promoting diuresis.

2. Wheat can effectively protect the kidneys and heart, and can also quench thirst. In daily life, if you feel irritable and have a poor appetite, eating some wheat can help your body recover.

3. Corn has the function of protecting the kidneys and can also replenish the qi. If the loss of appetite, irritability, physical weakness, etc. are caused by spleen and kidney deficiency, eating some corn can be a good way to regulate your condition.

4. Tomatoes have the effects of strengthening the spleen and appetite, as well as diuresis, and are very effective in treating loss of appetite, thirst, etc.

5. Shiitake mushrooms can effectively replenish qi and regulate the spleen and stomach, and are effective in treating loss of appetite caused by weak spleen and stomach.

6. Lentils have the effect of strengthening the spleen and stimulating the appetite. Taking them in the summer has a good effect of relieving heat. In addition, they can also treat heatstroke and edema.

7. Papaya. Many people think that papaya only has the effect of breast enhancement. In fact, this is a wrong idea. Papaya can help digestion very well and is very effective in treating stomach pain and indigestion.

8. Figs. This kind of food has good effects of strengthening the spleen, increasing appetite, helping intestinal peristalsis, etc. It has a very good effect on treating constipation and loss of appetite, etc.

Regarding children’s habit of not liking to eat, I would like to say that mothers must be cruel and not spoil their children too much. Don't give your children snacks during the day, especially about half an hour before a meal, as they will definitely not eat. When it comes to cooking, mothers also have to take care. Food diversity and cooking techniques can greatly arouse children's interest.
