The mother who helped me with the baby often sighed: It’s really not easy to bring a baby nowadays. The whole family is walking around, still getting sick at every turn to see you when you were young, and you don’t know how you grew up...

I believe that my mother is definitely not the only one who sighs like this! Children nowadays are really difficult to take, especially now that the weather is getting hotter and hotter. The mothers are really anxious!

The Dragon Boat Festival is here, which means the official arrival of the heat. Taking good care of children in summer is a special test for parents. It is often: get upset when you eat something, catch a cold when you blow off the air conditioner, and get infectious diseases when you go out to play... So how to avoid these situations next, Meimei will give you one today. Good recipe. Around the Dragon Boat Festival, four flavors of ingredients, one recipe, children eat more, less sick in summer!
Around the Dragon Boat Festival, the Yang Qi rises and gradually reaches its most prosperous time. So far, everything is lively and calmly.

Parents have to take care of their children, but the next step is very challenging: not only to prevent heat and cold, but also to prevent dampness.

But don’t worry, Meimei will help you sort out a few key points, do these points, take advantage of the characteristics of summer yang, but can lay a good physical foundation for children.
Summer is the home of the spleen, and then parents can let go of their hands and feet and actively strengthen the spleen for their children.

To invigorate the spleen in summer, we must pay attention to dispelling dampness. In summer, external dampness and internal dampness are the most afraid of dampness in the spleen. So in summer, children are prone to eczema, rash, or a series of infectious diseases. In summer, we sweat a lot, and we give our children more diuresis to dispel dampness, so we must take care of the production of body fluids. Only with abundant yin and jin can yang qi be produced. Most of the children have deficiency and cold physique, and the deficiency is the deficiency of qi. So to invigorate the spleen, we must pay attention to qi.

Taking care of strengthening the spleen, dispelling dampness, promoting body fluid, and replenishing qi, parents should use these four ingredients well

Invigorate the spleen and remove dampness and heat-white lentils, lentils can relieve heat, warm the spleen and stomach, remove dampness and heat, and quench thirst. It has a good function of invigorating the spleen and reducing heat and dampness. It is also one of the first choices for children in summer. Lentils are good for the spleen, but too much is easy to stagnate, and children should not be allowed to eat too much. Parents should pay attention to this. What's more important is that lentils must be compatible with qi-invigorating ingredients in order to be effective. Glutinous rice is a good ingredient for invigorating qi, and it is cooked together with lotus seeds and barley to prevent children from excessively rising Yang Qi in summer. At the same time, they are relatively peaceful and will not be too severe for children with weak and cold constitutions. , It is easy to "make up for it". It can also remove dampness and diuresis relatively peacefully. There is a coconut aroma in the taste, and most children also like it. When cooking the porridge, the lotus seeds must be cooked with the core. The lotus heart can well produce body fluid and cool the heat, soothe the mind and calm the mind.

Around the Dragon Boat Festival, these four ingredients are more appropriate. Children’s daily diet should also be organized around four points: strengthening the spleen, removing dampness, promoting body fluid, and replenishing qi.

These four-flavored ingredients form An Xia Jianpi Recipe, which can be given to the child 1-2 times a week when the child's digestion is good. It can be used as breakfast or as a late night snack.

Tips:

​A child's physique is actually the most effective way to adjust it through daily diet. Instead of relying on nutrients or medication. If you eat the right food, your child will grow up well. Some parents have improved their children's physique by adjusting their daily diet. After the Dragon Boat Festival, the days and nights gradually become shorter. The adjustment of the children's work and rest time is also very important. Go to bed before 9pm and take a lunch break as much as possible at noon. In summer, the lunch break becomes even more important. 11 am to 13:00 in the morning is the time elapsed in the Heart Sutra. Xia governs the heart, the heart generates the spleen, and the heart can warm the spleen, so we must pay attention to the maintenance of the heart. Don't easily clear away heat, detoxify and clear the heart, let alone replenish the heart yang at will. Sleep can help the child to nourish the mind.

Before and after the Dragon Boat Festival, we should adjust the diet and sleep. As the weather gradually enters the midsummer, we will gradually warm up the children. In this way, after a summer, the child's physique can be better improved.
