Many parents ask, what to eat for their children is more nutritious?
The same question, if we ask in another field, we may be clearer.
For example, what book can children read to improve their grades quickly and be knowledgeable? Most people will wonder, are children short of books now?
is not short of books. Nowadays, there are so many books that are in the flood stage. What children lack is the ability to read deeply, what they lack is the desire for knowledge, the motivation to actively explore the world, and the concentration to study patiently.
Does your child lack nutrition now? Are you short of high-nutritional foods?
Children are weak, grow slowly and thin, and their bodies are indeed lacking in nutrition, but they are not short of high-nutrition food supplies.
The key problem is, can we replenish nutrition by giving children a bunch of high-nutrition foods into their stomachs? Just like if we buy a bunch of very good books and put them at home, can our children learn from five cars?
Food enters the body and becomes nutrition. This requires the transportation and transformation of the spleen and stomach. Therefore, what children lack most is the digestive and absorption capacity of the spleen and stomach. If the spleen and stomach are not good, drinking milk, big fish and meat every day will not be able to absorb it, and it will make the spleen and stomach disgusted.
The first thing we need to do is to make the child's spleen and stomach stronger.
Of course, what to eat for children is also very important, just like what book to read for children is also very important.
For children with spleen deficiency, what to eat is more nutritious. Traditional Chinese medicine has always said that "grains are for nourishment". What is raised is the most fundamental "energy, energy and spirit" of children, which is the root of life.
This grain lays a healthy foundation for children. It is similar to building a high-rise building. The foundation is unstable and no matter how beautiful the room is, it is just like the appearance!
Seriously and well eat the staple food of grains, which is the basis for nourishing children.
Some parents have fallen into a misunderstanding about the understanding of "grains for nourishment", thinking that eating more grains will have better nutritional value, so there are always seven or eight kinds of grains in a bowl of porridge, or a bunch of grains with wall breaker to make a paste.
A bowl of porridge has too many grains. Although it seems to have a high nutritional value, it will make the porridge difficult to digest. For children with spleen deficiency, it will make it worse and digestion is even worse.
Children with particularly weak digestive ability should focus on rice, millet and pasta, because these three are easier to digest in the grains.
In addition, we should use the local traditional staple food as a reference, because the climate affects the body, and food will adjust the impact of the climate on the body.
For example, in the south, the climate is hot, and is heavy in moisture, so children in the south use rice that nourishes the middle and nourishes qi and promotes moisture as their staple food, which is conducive to the growth and development of children.
Pay special attention to it. If children who are not digested well, especially those who are prone to bloating, it is difficult to digest the soy milk and beans in the grains. If you change it to bean soup (not eating beans), bean curd, and tofu, it is easier to digest.
Children with spleen deficiency, it is best not to have more than three varieties of grains for a bowl of porridge. Children with very weak spleen and stomach can drink some rice oil in the morning to supplement their nutrition, because rice oil gathers the essence of a bowl of porridge and is very easy to digest and absorb.
The second particularly important nutrition for children is vegetables.
Simply put, vegetables can unblock the intestines, clear up heat, and help grains to digest and absorb better!
Grains and vegetables are the basis of children's nutrition. They must be delicious, and then we will consider other foods, such as fruits, meat food, etc.
For weak children, to supplement their children with nutrition, there are two things to do:
1: Eat some medicinal foods that strengthen the spleen and nourish the spleen in moderation to enhance the spleen and stomach’s ability to transport and transform;
2: Eat some foods in season according to changes in the season to allow the body to adapt to climate changes and reduce colds and illnesses.
For example, the temperature has dropped significantly recently, and autumn dryness has also worsened. Children with weak middle and lower abdomen are prone to being wet and dry. At this time, you can stew lotus root and black bean soup to strengthen the spleen.
Lotus root black bean soup

Lotus root about 200 grams, black bean 30 grams, tangerine peel 3 grams, 6 red dates (pitted), appropriate amount of ribs, two slices of ginger
