How should children take good care of their stomachs? Children's stomach health knowledge is already known

Children's digestive system is very fragile, and if they don't pay attention to their diet, they may experience diarrhea or indigestion, which can lead to many adverse consequences. So, how can children nourish their stomachs? What are some stomach nourishing foods?

How to nourish the stomach in children

Chew slowly

When feeding a baby, remind them to chew slowly and not eat greedily. It is generally recommended to have a meal time of at least 20 minutes per meal. If you eat too quickly and the food is not chewed, it will increase the burden on the stomach and be detrimental to gastrointestinal health.

Do not take medication indiscriminately

If your baby develops certain gastrointestinal inflammations, do not take medication indiscriminately. It is best to take your baby to see a doctor in a timely manner and take medication under the guidance of a doctor.

Massage acupoints

Massage the Zusanli acupoint. Zusanli is located on the outer side of the two calves, outside the tibia of the three transverse fingers under the knee, and is a strong acupoint for the whole body. Parents can massage their children's Zusanli acupoint for 5-10 minutes daily, which can enhance the effectiveness of their digestive system, increase their digestive acceptance rate, and improve their complexion, complexion, and body weight.

Spinal therapy can be used for infants and young children. Parents stand on the right side of their child and make him lie prone. They use their hands to pinch the skin on both sides of the spine, gradually moving upwards from the coccyx to the neck. Repeat this process more than ten times a day, twice a day. Chirping has the effects of invigorating the spleen, aiding digestion, and strengthening the body. It can improve appetite, reduce colds, and enhance physical fitness.

Be punctual when eating

Skipping breakfast and unintentionally getting hungry or full can slowly erode the health of the stomach. The stomach is an organ that strictly follows a "schedule", and the secretion of gastric juice has physiological peaks and valleys throughout the day to facilitate timely digestion of food. If gastric acid and pepsin are not neutralized by food, they will digest the gastric mucosa itself and cause damage to the gastric mucosa.

It is not advisable for children to overeat [SEP]. Overeating not only makes the digestive capacity of the stomach difficult to bear, causing indigestion, but sometimes can also lead to serious diseases such as acute gastric dilation and gastric perforation.

Pay attention to food hygiene

Unclean diet, especially in the summer season, can cause various pathogenic bacteria to multiply rapidly, and food is prone to decay and spoilage. If you eat unclean or stale food, it is easy to cause acute gastritis, with symptoms such as stomach pain, bloating, and vomiting.
