1929 does not take action,
3949 walks on the ice,
5969 looks at the willows along the river,
79 rivers open and 89 swallows come,
99 plus 19, cattle are everywhere.
After the winter solstice, we enter the coldest number nine winter of the year!
Children's own body temperature regulation ability is relatively weak, and their own immunity has not been fully established, so children are prone to getting sick in the cold winter!
The most common diseases are respiratory diseases . Before 2020, what we focused on preventing in winter was influenza, and influenza can be vaccinated for children around October every year, so it is preventable and controllable.
But in 2020, a virus that is more terrifying than the flu was discovered, that is, the new coronavirus. The new coronavirus has been strictly guarded against for three years, and was released this winter.
Many friends around me have now become positive and , mainly because of this virus in winter, which can survive longer in the environment!
After the winter solstice, we enter the coldest season. If you have children, you must remember "3 eat more and 7 don't"
eat more: eat more high-quality protein, eat more vegetables, and eat more warming foods
★ Eat more high-quality protein
Children over one year old should drink at least 400 ml of milk every day. 400 ml of milk can provide children with approximately 12 grams of protein , and it is high-quality protein .
Giving your children high-quality proteins such as eggs, lean meat, chicken, duck, fish, etc. can also improve your child's immunity.
Especially in winter, when the weather is cold, children consume a lot of food.
★Eat more vegetables
Many children don't like to eat vegetables. As everyone knows, vegetables are rich in dietary fiber and vitamins . Supplementing children with vitamin C in vegetables can improve the child's immunity, especially the immunity of the respiratory tract, which can greatly prevent children from being infected!
Moreover, vegetables are rich in dietary fiber. Dietary fiber can speed up intestinal peristalsis. If intestinal peristalsis is fast, children can avoid constipation, and once constipation occurs in children, it is easy to cause fever and other conditions.
★Eat more warming and tonic foods
Many places recommend eating mutton in winter because mutton is warming and tonic.
According to traditional Chinese medicine, the winter solstice is actually the longest night time of the day. It is also the time when children’s yin energy is the heaviest and yang energy begins to grow. Therefore, warming and tonic at this time can make the child’s body more masculine and help improve the child’s immunity!
7 Don’t: don’t let your feet catch a cold, don’t let your stomach catch a cold, don’t lack ventilation, don’t stay up late, don’t eat too many snacks, don’t eat too much raw and cold food, don’t eat random supplements
① Don’t let your child’s feet catch cold
Chinese medicine has a saying: Cold starts from the feet . If a child’s feet catch a cold, it is easy to catch a cold, so the child’s feet should be cold. Stay warm and wear socks when at home.
② Don’t let your child catch a cold in his stomach
In winter, if your child catches a cold in his tummy, it can easily lead to diarrhea. Moreover, once a child has diarrhea, poor nutrient absorption will also affect immunity.
Therefore, the clothes given to the child should not be too short. The child can sleep in a sleeping bag when sleeping at night.
③ Don’t leave your home without ventilation all day
In the north, heating is provided in winter. Because of heating, windows are often not opened all day long, which will lead to a higher concentration of indoor viruses.
Because parents have to go to work, they will bring certain viruses when they come back. There is no problem for adults with strong immunity, but children are easily infected, so the windows should be opened for ventilation at least one hour a day during heating.
④ Don't let your children stay up late.
Children's growth hormone secretion is pulse . The peak period of growth hormone secretion begins at 10 p.m. . Therefore, putting your child to bed at 9:30 p.m. in winter can secrete more growth hormone and help your child grow taller.
⑤ Don’t let your children eat too many snacks
Many snacks are high in fat, high in calories and in sugar. Children who often eat these snacks can easily cause throat discomfort. Once the child’s throat is uncomfortable, it is more likely to lead to upper respiratory tract infection .
Especially now that the epidemic has been released, the new coronavirus is everywhere. Children with low immunity are more likely to be attacked by the new coronavirus.
⑥ Don’t feed your children too much cold food
Nowadays, every household has a refrigerator, and children like to eat frozen food, but in the cold season of winter, it is better to avoid giving your children too cold food.
For example, if you put yogurt in the refrigerator, you can take it out and leave it at room temperature for half an hour. It would be better to give it to your children. After all, the winter solstice is the time when children's yin energy is the strongest, so eat less raw and cold food.
⑦Don’t give your children random supplements
Although we say winter is a good time to take supplements, children cannot take supplements randomly.
For example, some parents give their children ginseng, or royal jelly , or even donkey hide gelatin and other supplements, which are not good for their children's health, and some may even cause their children precocious puberty .
Therefore, just feed your children ordinary food. Try not to give your children supplements. If your children need supplements, it is recommended to do so under the guidance of a doctor.
After the winter solstice is the coldest season. If you have children at home, you must take good protection to prevent them from getting sick all the time, which will affect their health and growth.
