What is more appetizing for children?

Many children usually don’t like to eat. They always refuse to eat and need their parents to chase and coax them before they are willing to take a small bite. Or they don’t want to swallow or chew the food in their mouths and just keep holding it in their mouths. What is going on in this situation? Does the child have anorexia? What should children eat to stimulate their appetite? Let me introduce it to you today!

First, hawthorn. Hawthorn can stimulate appetite and help digestion, and can be cooked with red dates into porridge for babies.

Second, yam. Yam strengthens the spleen and appetite. It can be cooked in porridge and eaten.

Third, tangerine peel. Tangerine peel can warm the stomach and dispel cold, regulate qi and strengthen the spleen. It has a good effect on indigestion and loss of appetite. It can be soaked in water and added to porridge.

Fourth, corn porridge. Corn porridge is a coarse grain that helps gastrointestinal motility and can aid in food digestion.

Folk remedy: Steam 2 yams, peel them, grind them into yam paste, add a handful of cooked flour and appropriate amount of white sugar, mix well, knead them into yam dough, divide them into 2 equal parts, wrap the 2 parts of yam dough with 2 pieces of plastic wrap, press them into square cakes about 0.6 cm thick, then remove the plastic wrap, put date paste filling and hawthorn cake between the two layers of cakes in turn, cut into small pieces, put on a plate, and steam them.

Folk remedy: 20 grams of hawthorn (sliced), 10 dates. First roast the hawthorn slices and jujubes until they turn black and yellow, then add chicken gizzard lining and sugar and boil water for the child to drink. Take 2 or 3 times a day for 2 consecutive days.

Anorexia in children is characterized by lack of appetite, boredom, and refusal to eat, accompanied by weight loss, diarrhea or constipation, dry stools, vomiting, crying and restlessness, etc. Lack of restraint in eating, excessive hunger and fullness, improper feeding by parents, etc., can cause the child's spleen and stomach to become unbalanced and cause anorexia.

If a child has anorexia, parents must pay attention to it, let him eat less junk food and snacks, do not eat greasy food all the time, eat more vegetables and fruits and supplement more vitamins, adjust his eating habits and living habits, which can play a certain role in alleviating the problem. Appropriate exercise can also enhance appetite.
