How to help babies digest food

When children are very young, they either eat breast milk or formula, which basically solves the problem of eating. When the child starts to grow teeth, the first problem a new mother faces is how to help the baby digest food. So today, let’s ask an authoritative expert to explain to you how to help the baby digest food.

The first digestive food: boiled sugar-coated haws

Children's digestive tract is immature and fragile, and many children swallow their food in a wolf.

If your child has indigestion problems or food accumulation, there is no need to buy any medicine. You can go to the street to buy a string of candied haws, put them in a pot and simmer them slowly. Add two jujubes and stew the jujube and hawthorn meat until they are soft. Separate the hawthorn pits and jujube pits, and let your child drink this soup: it is sour, sweet, and tastes good, and it does not irritate the stomach, so the effect is also good.

The second digestive food: fermented glutinous rice

Laozao, also known as glutinous rice wine, is a local snack in the south that every household knows how to make. People in the north are not familiar with it, but it is not difficult to make and can be learned quickly. For the sake of the child, I suggested that my daughter develop the habit of making fermented glutinous rice. This food contains a lot of B vitamins, which aid digestion and can help children's metabolism. It can help the body metabolize carbohydrates and also contribute to energy metabolism. Women who are trying to lose weight know that they can lose weight by accelerating the metabolism of carbohydrates and energy.

Children nowadays eat too much refined rice and noodles and take in too little B vitamins, which can cause obesity. Therefore, eating fermented glutinous rice can also reduce the chance of obesity in children. Coincidentally, my daughter's mother-in-law is from the south and knows how to make fermented glutinous rice, and she makes it deliciously. I told my daughter to learn the skill of making Laozao well. This kind of food is very beneficial to children and costs very little. It is much better to use this food to supplement children with vitamins than to buy capsules at the drugstore.

The method of making Laozao is very simple. Just soak and steam the glutinous rice, mix it with sweet wine yeast bought from the supermarket, seal it and leave it for a while.

The third digestive food: yogurt

Yogurt contains probiotics (called bifidobacteria), which are one of the normal flora in the intestines. They are the "health guardian" of the human body and the "scavenger" of the intestines, and can maintain good intestinal function.

Why is Bifidobacterium called the “health guardian” of human beings? Because the bifidobacteria living in the intestines grow on the intestinal mucosa, forming a "biofilm barrier", just like building a Great Wall of Steel on the surface of the human intestine, acting as a public security police, thereby preventing invading pathogenic bacteria from growing and reproducing in the intestines. Why is Bifidobacterium called the "scavenger" of the human intestine? Because the lactic acid and acetic acid secreted by bifidobacteria can stimulate the intestinal wall, promote intestinal peristalsis, maintain normal bowel function, and excrete harmful and toxic substances in the intestines in a timely manner.

However, now, bifidobacteria are used as a commercial gimmick. Many businesses claim in their advertisements that their dairy products contain "bifidobacteria". In fact, bifidobacteria are only found in homemade yogurt. The bifidobacteria in industrial dairy products have lost their activity, or in layman's terms, they are dead. Why do you say that? Because Bifidobacterium is an anaerobic bacteria, it will easily die when exposed to air. Industrial dairy products take such a long time to reach consumers that the bifidobacteria in them have almost lost their activity. Therefore, those commercial propaganda are actually taking advantage of people's lack of nutritional knowledge and skirting the concept.

Only yogurt that is freshly brewed and eaten contains rich bifidobacteria. Only by eating this kind of yogurt can we effectively utilize bifidobacteria and solve children's digestive dysfunction problems. It should be emphasized that yogurt should be consumed after meals and not on an empty stomach.

Of course, drinking yogurt is also an effective way to supplement calcium.

The above is the method for helping babies digest food. Do parents understand after reading the above article? Babies are very small, so parents need to pay attention to their physical and digestive issues.
