Since the epidemic was released, the Omicron strain has swept almost all regions in the country, and many people have become infected.
In families with children, parents are very worried. After all, children's resistance is relatively weak and their physical constitution is relatively poor. They are afraid that the child will not be able to recover well after being infected, which will delay the child's health and affect the child's growth.
We all know that after a child is infected with the new crown , in addition to getting a good rest every day and paying attention to symptomatic medication, it is necessary to ensure the child's nutritional supply, because only if the nutrition keeps up can the child's immune system have the materials to "assemble antibodies" and be able to defeat the virus more thoroughly.
Moreover, during the physical recovery stage after the child's symptoms disappear, correct nutritional supplement is also an important factor in the child's physical recovery. Only by supplementing what the child's body needs, the child will recover better.
So, what should children eat after becoming "yang"? People's Daily recently shared detailed dietary advice on what to eat after becoming "yang".
What should children eat if they are "positive"? The People's Daily gave the answer. It is recommended that everyone take a look.
✔Drink more water, small amounts many times
Water is the source of life, and it can also significantly alleviate symptoms such as fever, throat "swallowing razor blades", and physical discomfort after children are infected with the new coronavirus. Therefore, after a child is infected with COVID-19, parents should pay attention to letting their children drink more warm water.
However, children also need to pay attention to some issues when drinking water:
- Drink water in small sips, drink warm water, small amounts many times, and pay attention to replenishing electrolyte water to avoid electrolyte disorders .
- If your child has diarrhea and sweats a lot, he or she needs to increase the amount of water he or she drinks.
- Children with special circumstances need to drink water as directed by the doctor, such as children with underlying diseases, etc.
In addition, infants and young children can focus on absorbing water from complementary foods (rice noodles, porridge, etc.), and children over 1 year old can supplement with an appropriate amount of honey water.
✔ Mainly liquid food and pasta
After being infected with the new coronavirus, children are likely to have sore throat, inability to swallow food, poor appetite, etc. At this time, if the child is allowed to eat normally, the child may not be able to eat. Therefore, When a child is infected or recovering, we need to pay attention to the staple food:
liquid food (lotus root starch, yogurt, etc.) as the main food, supplemented by pasta (noodles, etc.). Not only is it easier for the child to swallow, but it can also alleviate the child's poor appetite. At the same time, these foods contain relatively few calories and can assist in cooling children during the fever period.
✔ Intake of enough "vc" fruits and vegetables
Vitamin C plays an important role in improving children's immunity. Therefore, after children are infected with the new crown virus, parents should pay attention to giving their children more foods containing vitamin C.
Some fruits and vegetables contain more vitamin C, such as kiwi fruit , oranges, tangerines, tomatoes, etc.
If the child's acceptance of solids is low, parents can also squeeze fruits into juice for their children to drink . 1 to 2 cups a day is best.
✔Different ways to eat high-protein foods at different stages
Protein is also a necessary nutrient to form antibodies and help children recover, but it is not suitable for eating at any stage of infection.
If the child is in the high fever stage, it is not advisable to consume a large amount of high-protein food, because the intake of high-protein food is not conducive to cooling the body.
However, when the child's high fever disappears and the body begins to recover, parents need to prepare a sufficient amount of high-protein food for the child. At this time, a sufficient amount of protein can quickly supplement the child's body needs, allowing the child to recover faster.
✔ If diarrhea occurs, pay attention to your diet
Different children will have different symptoms after being infected with the new coronavirus, and some children may also experience diarrhea.When children have symptoms of diarrhea, parents should pay attention:
First of all, the proportion of carbohydrates in the diet should be greatly increased, but attention should be paid to avoid eating a large amount of whole grains, because whole grains will aggravate diarrhea.
Secondly, dairy products, soy products, juices, vegetables with high fiber content and other foods can also aggravate diarrhea, so you should reduce the proportion of your diet or not eat them.
Finally, When you experience vomiting or diarrhea without eating, you should pay attention to replenishing electrolyte water, or follow the doctor's advice to replenish rehydration salts, but avoid supplementing with large amounts of sugar water, which may aggravate diarrhea.
✔ Eat a light diet, but nutrition is essential
During illness and recovery, pay attention to a light diet, because heavy-flavored foods may increase the burden on the child's gastrointestinal tract, visceral metabolism, etc.
However, a light diet does not mean a lack of nutrition. Parents should ensure the diversity of ingredients so that children can consume more comprehensive and balanced nutrition, which will help their children's physical recovery.
✔Low appetite, can be combined with nutrients
Some children will have a strong food refusal after infection, eating very little, and it is difficult to eat food normally.
At this time, parents can use some nutritional supplements as directed by doctors to ensure their children's nutrition and energy intake, so that their children's bodies have enough nutrients to resist virus invasion and promote body recovery.
After becoming yang, as long as the diet can be controlled to a scientific and reasonable state, it will be of great help to the child's "yang to yin" and recovery.
Finally, parents need to be reminded that because each child has different symptoms, physical constitution, and living environment, when preparing a diet for your child, you must refer to your child's symptoms to choose a corresponding diet plan.
When the child's symptoms change, the dietary plan also needs to be changed to adapt to the child's disease course and recovery status.
In addition, there are a lot of comments on the Internet now about "this can cure diseases and that can help recovery". Parents should keep their eyes open and know that no single food has a "universal" effect, so they must look at the nutritional properties of food objectively. maintains the comprehensiveness of nutrition and correctly views the nutritional effects of food.
written at the end
Dietary issues have a great impact on children's yang to yin and physical recovery. China has said "diet therapy" since ancient times. The correct "sick meal" can have a "double the result with half the effort" effect on the child's recovery. Therefore, parents must pay attention to their children's diet so that their children can recover as soon as possible and return to their former health.
