Children are often sick? Who is to blame?

Many people have this notion: it is very common for young children to get sick because their immune systems are relatively weak, so they often fall ill.

That is really a big mistake! If your child often gets sick and frequently runs to clinics or hospitals, as a parent, you have to take some responsibility!

There is an old saying in traditional Chinese medicine: "If you want children to be healthy, let them experience some hunger and cold."

The literal meaning is that if you want children to be healthy, they should maintain a certain degree of hunger and cold; what it mainly intends to express is that to keep children healthy, they should not be overly kept warm or overfed.

The ratio of children to adults nowadays is different from before, and the standard of living has improved. A child now has the care and feeding of at least six adults (father, mother, paternal grandparents, maternal grandparents), so overindulgence is inevitable.The reason children often get sick is usually due to indigestion, and the most common human factor is overfeeding!

When children are overfed by adults, their small digestive systems cannot process the food, causing it to stagnate in the stomach. When food stops in the middle burner (stomach and intestines) for a long time, it generates heat, which steams internally. Once external pathogens invade (such as external infections, flu, or colds), the child's body temperature rises, leading to fever or persistent high fever, especially severe heat at night, which then quickly progresses to coughing, often accompanied by excessive yellow phlegm.

If you want your child to be healthy and not get sick easily, improving spleen and stomach digestion is the most important!

To improve your child's digestive ability, please follow this:

1. Give your child a gentle massage or rub on the abdomen regularly every day.
2. To cultivate a child's diet, it is necessary to have regular and quantitative diet.
3. The dietary guidelines are:Less warming, nutritious, diverse, easy to digest。
4. Keep your child drinking enough water every day.

In addition to regular daily dietary care, building physical fitness is also a very important part. Maintaining a strong constitution in children allows them to stay healthy even during flu season, and if they do get sick, they can recover quickly. This is the only way to grow up healthy!
