Pediatric advice: children's health, from the "deficiency" and "phlegm" to grasp

Nowadays, there are many problems with children, but they cannot be separated from "deficiency" and "phlegm".

"Deficiency" mainly refers to the insufficiency of the spleen and stomach of small children. Where children are developing, the kidney yang is still young, so it is easy for them to eat without digesting, and their qi and blood will not be sufficient. Nowadays, children do not lack healthy food, but lack of healthy eating habits. Either too fat or too thin, which are not called healthy, or a deficiency.

"Phlegm" mainly refers to children because of poor digestion, diet does not transport, and finally generated phlegm and dampness can not be discharged, dampness with the qi line, when the heat into phlegm.

If it stays in the head and face, it becomes "allergic rhinitis", "sinusitis", "otitis media", "enlarged adenoids", "enlarged tonsils", and even "hyperactivity disorder". Adenoid enlargement", "enlarged tonsils", and even "hyperactivity disorder".

It stays in the lungs and becomes "Mycoplasma", "Chlamydia", "Pneumonia" or even "Asthma".

It stays in the San Jiao and becomes an "allergy" or "skin disease".

When they remain in the spleen and stomach, they become "chancre".

Although having surgery can solve the problem for a while, the ability to transport and transform phlegm-dampness itself is not restored, so new chronic inflammation will arise again.

Not to mention that there are many other problems that even surgery can't solve, such as the cosmetic problems caused by enlarged adenoids.

When it comes to avoiding food for small children, the first reaction of many parents is that they find it difficult.

However, when we understand the principles of physical illness and that all these products of pathology are aggravated from an unhealthy diet, we naturally focus on avoiding food.

I. Eat: keep your mouth shut and update it less often

Children's spleens and stomachs are delicate, and if they eat wrongly, they will easily accumulate food and produce phlegm and dampness, so they have to be strict.

  • principled basis: Eat less greasy and hard-to-digest things, eat more staple foods (rice, pasta, wheat), and don't snack on snacks and fruits all the time.
  • meats::
    • We recommend pork (don't eat pork head, it's too cold), duck, and a small amount of chicken (on the hot side).
    • Touch less beef and lamb, offal, and shrimp, which are easily locked in dampness.
  • fruits::
    • Don't eat wild greens, bamboo shoots, or pegs in the spring, and feel free to eat other light dishes.
  • fruit::
    • Whether hot or cold, it is easy to generate dampness, and it is especially important to avoid it when you are sick.
    • If you can't quit, you can replace them with dried fruits, such as lotus seeds, seaweed, yam cakes, and hawthorn, in small amounts.
  • dairy product::
    • Don't drink milk as much as possible, especially when you have a cold or have accumulated food. Infants drinking breastmilk does not affect, but the child's mother should pay attention to a light diet, cold and warmth, emotional calm. Otherwise, breast milk is hot and heavy, and the child will also be hot and heavy and accumulate food. Adjust the mother's constitution, and then give the child a medicinal bath on the line.
  • between-meal nibbles::
    • Spice bars, milk tea, popsicles, drink brave not touch, hurt the spleen and stomach. Really greedy, pick clean snacks, look at the ingredient list try not to buy additives.
  • mealtime::
    • For children who have accumulated food, don't eat 2 hours before bedtime, otherwise it won't be digested and also affects sleep.

II. Wear: keep warm and cool

Cold in children is the root cause of many illnesses, especially now that the weather is so changeable, so you have to be careful:

  • Dress in time: Don't expose your back, belly button, knees, or neck when there is a big difference in temperature to prevent wind chill.
  • Sleeping to keep warm: Change your clothes if you sweat a lot, and conditioning your body will ensure that you sweat less.
  • little trick: The child kicks the quilt is easy to catch a cold, you can buy a U-shaped pillow, put upside down to cover the quilt, both light and wind blocking, the child rolled also not afraid.

III. Living: Early to bed + moving

  • sleep: Children are growing and must be in bed by 10:00 pm. Sleeping late hurts the blood and qi, and recovery is slow.
  • campaignsDon't sit around watching TV and playing with your cell phone, walk, run and jump. Don't swim if you have weak yang energy, your body is too tired.

Fourth, line: good mood, less find disease

  • state of mindDon't let your child have great joys and great sorrows. Parents can read "The Rules of the Disciple", "The Four Disciplines of the Master", "The Record of Reflection", "Yan's Family Trainings", "Zhu Zi's Family Trainings", so that their own mind is stabilized, and their children will also be at peace.

V. P.S. There are rules for avoiding food, and hair products vary from person to person.

Chinese medicine said "hair" is not fixed, but depends on the body. For example, yang deficiency children drink cold water diarrhea, cold water is his hair; other people are fine, it does not count. Nowadays, most of the children's spleen and stomach deficiency and phlegm dampness, so greasy, wet things have to eat less. Don't worry about the nutrition, eat too much can't be digested, instead of replacing phlegm-dampness, long cysts, nodules to trouble.

The majority of people today have a body that is both "deficient in qi, blood, yin and yang" and "phlegm-damp". Things that increase dampness and indigestion can be eaten sparingly.

You don't need to worry about lack of nutrition because you didn't eat that richly. Because your spleen and stomach simply can't absorb that much, and eating doesn't mean absorbing, instead you're accumulating all this phlegm-dampness blockage.

Dampness gathers into phlegm, and phlegm grows? It becomes cysts, nodules, stones, leiomyosarcomas, tumors and other pathological products.

Instead of waiting until the end to get surgery for many problems, it's entirely possible to choose a healthy lifestyle that is truly healthy and long-lasting and happy.

What about fruit?
If you want to eat, choose seasonal apples and bananas, 2-3 a week. The best criterion is to pay attention to the tongue, if you ate the fruit yesterday, after a night of digestion, the center of the tongue is still white, it is a sign of indigestion. That means it still can't be eaten more.

How to distinguish white moss? See the picture below:

White moss in three people, the first picture is pediatric, relatively heavy to light.
Here are the tongues of three people, although there are some other problems, at least the moss is basically normal and the dampness is not heavy

In fact, children eat snacks because the spleen and stomach is weak, spleen and stomach is weak mouth bland, tasteless, so you need to eat something with taste, the body is well-tuned, naturally not interested in snacks.

In my previous cases, there were those who gradually did not want to eat spicy noodles, did not want to drink milk tea, did not want to eat snacks, and did not want to eat heavy oil after taking the medicine. This is a sign that the body is improving and the spleen and stomach are recovering.

When your addiction gets deeper, there is actually an imbalance in your body. That's when it needs to be taken seriously.


summarize

Children's problems are rooted in "deficiency" and "phlegm". Surgery can only solve the problem for a while, but health still depends on daily life. By taking care of food, clothing, housing and transportation, especially dietary taboos, children will get sick less often and parents will have less to worry about. Start learning these small adjustments today, a healthy lifestyle is the plan of the day!
