What to eat for children with Qi deficiency

Qi deficiency is actually divided into many types. In traditional Chinese medicine, the body's Qi deficiency can be classified according to the different organs of the five internal organs, such as spleen and stomach Qi deficiency, lung Qi deficiency, kidney Qi deficiency, etc. Children who have anorexia and are picky eaters may have weak spleen and stomach. They can maintain their spleen and stomach by eating whole grains such as red dates and coix seed. If a child has a pale complexion for a long time, they should eat some white foods that nourish the stomach, such as yam, lily, etc. Children with kidney deficiency who have difficulty breathing and pale complexion are suitable to eat wolfberry which can replenish qi and benefit the kidney.

First: Spleen deficiency

If a child has a weak spleen, the main symptoms are a sallow complexion, decreased appetite, looser stools, and usually extreme tiredness and weakness.

In order to restore the child's spleen deficiency to health, in addition to taking Chinese medicine for conditioning, mothers can also start with daily diet and eat more foods that have the effect of strengthening the spleen, such as red dates, coix seeds, lotus seeds and yam. In addition, children should eat less raw, cold or greasy food in their daily life, and mothers should also control their children's intake of sweets.

Second: Lung Qi Deficiency

If a child suffers from lung qi deficiency, the symptom will be a pale complexion. The body feels weak, but sweats easily and becomes breathless after a little exercise. The body's resistance is relatively poor, and it is easy to get sick, especially when the weather changes.

Traditional Chinese medicine tells us that if we want to better nourish the lungs, we should eat more white foods and foods that have lung-nourishing effects. Common ones include yam, lily and white fungus.

Third: Kidney Qi Deficiency

This type of child mainly suffers from wheezing and shortness of breath after the slightest exercise, and has a pale face and is afraid of the cold.

If you want to restore the health of a child with kidney deficiency, you must do a good job of nourishing the kidneys and eat more foods that have the effect of nourishing the kidneys and replenishing qi. Common foods in daily life include wolfberry, yam and sesame.
