Editor's note:

On the eve of Children's Day on June 1, Guangming Network Traditional Chinese Medicine Channel and Beijing University of Chinese Medicine East Hospital launched children's health science. This issue focuses on "children's spleen and stomach", how to maintain children's spleen and stomach? Four ways to tell you!

Experts in this issue: Yin Yingmin, Wu Liqun, Hao Hongwen, Department of Pediatrics, East Hospital, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine

Speaking of "summer", we think of "cold drinks", and eating an ice cream in the hot summer is very pleasant, and for children, it is even more like. But one by one, the ice cream may be the culprit that hurts the child's spleen and stomach. In ancient times, there was a health preservation theory of "spring and summer yang", coupled with the physiological characteristics of the child's own "spleen is often insufficient", so the child's spleen and stomach should be taken care of in summer.

For the sake of the child's spleen and stomach, we should do the following:

First: Quit "coolness".

In the spring and summer season, yang qi is generated, and at this time, we should conform to the trend of yang qi and abstain from "coolness" so as not to hurt the spleen and yang. First of all, don't overeat "cold" foods such as cold drinks, raw and cold seafood, and things that you take straight out of the fridge. In addition to cold food, pay attention to the cold that you feel directly.

As the saying goes, "the cold starts from under the feet", walking barefoot on the tiled floor, and the air conditioning temperature is too low in summer, which can easily cause the abdomen and feet to feel cold.

Second: Eat "sweet".

Food has "five flavors (sour, bitter, sweet, pungent, salty)", the five flavors are in harmony with the five organs (liver, heart, spleen, lungs, kidneys), so the sweet taste into the spleen can tonify the spleen, and the taste is sweet, children will like it more. In the summer, parents can give their children appropriate consumption of sweet food, such as apples, watermelon, loofah, red dates, millet, coix seeds, taro, yams, potatoes, carrots, sweet potatoes, etc., can be made into porridge, soup, dishes, juices, etc., but it should also be noted that eating more sweet foods is easy to hinder the movement of the spleen and stomach, poor qi, bloating, constipation, so do not blindly eat too much or only eat sweet food, but also with other foods, balanced nutrition. In addition, do not eat too much acidic food in summer, such as hawthorn, yogurt, tomatoes, black plums, oranges, etc., too sour is easy to destroy the spleen and soil, hindering the digestive function of the child's spleen and stomach.

Third: "move" more

Recently, due to the impact of the epidemic, children have less outdoor exercise, and they eat too much, and too much food stagnates the spleen and stomach, affecting the function of the spleen and stomach, and causing symptoms of anorexia, bloating, bad breath and constipation. In the summer, you can also add more outdoor exercises, such as 9-10 a.m., 4-5 p.m. You can go to the park to exercise more, walk, run, or play games. Exercise can enhance the function of the spleen and stomach and promote digestion.

Fourth: move your hands

In summer, the clothes are thin, so it is convenient to give children a pediatric massage. At home, parents can give their children a simple massage to regulate their spleen and stomach. If the child is weak in spleen and stomach, anorexia, and loose stool, you can rub the abdomen counterclockwise; If your child has bad breath, bloating, or constipation, you can rub your abdomen clockwise.

In addition, you can choose to tonify the spleen meridian, pinch the chiropractic, etc.**, which can not only regulate the spleen and stomach, but also help children improve appetite and smooth stool.
