After entering the autumn, many children begin to catch colds one after another, and the course of disease is quite long, which not only affects the learning efficiency, but also reduces the body's resistance and immunity again and again. In the early autumn, the consumption of the human body gradually decreases, and the appetite gradually recovers. It is an important period for children to grow up and strengthen their physique, and it is also a critical period for storing energy for autumn and winter. So, what health care points should children pay attention to in early autumn, which are good for their health?

First of all, let's learn about three key points of children's autumn health care.

First, moisten the lungs

The biggest feature of early autumn is "dryness", and children's skin is often found to be dry, and some even have chapped lips. Chinese medicine believes that in autumn, the lung is golden, the lung likes to moisten dryness, and the lung governs fur. Therefore, in autumn, the lung is more susceptible to dry injury, and children are prone to dry cough, dermatosis, rhinitis and other diseases in autumn. Therefore, moistening the lungs to prevent autumn dryness and consolidating the human body's protective net against external evils are the key points of health preservation in early autumn.

Here I recommend two kinds of lung-moistening porridge:

1, yam lily millet porridge

Efficacy: It has the effects of invigorating spleen, regulating stomach, nourishing heart and moistening lung.

Ingredients: lily 5g, millet 100g.

Practice: Boil the water, then add the millet and yam, and add a little baking soda at the same time, which is beneficial to boil the millet, dilute the active ingredients, maintain a slightly alkaline environment, and facilitate children's digestion. Boil lily for15min, then simmer for15min.

2, almond rice porridge

Efficacy: It has the effects of nourishing lung and kidney, moistening dryness and relaxing bowels, and is especially suitable for children with constipation.

Ingredients: south almond 10g, rice 90g, black sesame 15g, and proper amount of sugar.

Practice: Bring to a boil with a big fire and cook with a small fire until the rice and almonds are eroded. Add sugar to taste.

Second, nourish the liver

Early autumn needs to nourish the liver, and children are no exception. At this time, the climate is relatively dry, which is easy to cause children's liver depression to turn into fire. Traditional Chinese medicine is called "five-color diet", and the liver governs cyan, and cyan enters the liver meridian. Therefore, proper consumption of blue food such as white gourd, Chinese kale and spinach has the effects of nourishing yin and moistening dryness, soothing the liver and nourishing blood. "The liver likes sour", so it should be sour in early autumn, and eat more sour foods such as grapes, lemons, oranges and hawthorn to nourish the liver. Acidic food can also relieve the symptoms of dry tongue and insufficient body fluid in autumn.

Third, Yang's convergence.

"Spring grows in summer and autumn harvests in winter". In autumn, the yang gradually turns to convergence, and the yin gradually grows. In order to adapt to the weather, eat less spicy things that help yang in early autumn, such as onions, ginger, garlic, etc., so as not to hinder the convergence of yang. The best way to restrain Yang is to sleep, go to bed early and get up early, and take a nap for half an hour. Then, it is advisable to dry the child's back, especially between 9- 10 am and 4-5 pm, about 15 minutes.

Secondly, pay attention to prevent two common diseases of children in early autumn.

First of all, catching a cold

In early autumn, the four seasons alternate, and children are prone to catch a cold if their resistance is not strong. Therefore, parents need to be more careful when the seasons alternate into autumn. The temperature difference between day and night is very large, it will be cold sooner or later, and it will be hot at noon. If children don't increase or decrease clothes in time, it will cause uneven heating and easy to catch a cold.

1, increase or decrease clothes in time, and pay attention to keeping your navel and soles warm. The navel is not closed until the umbilical cord is cut. It is the thinnest part of abdominal fat and the thinnest part of skin. This place is also called Shenque point, which can strengthen the spleen and stomach and is the key to protect the spleen system, so be sure to watch out for the navel catching cold. Cold starts from the feet, and the weather turns cold in early autumn. The child can't run barefoot any more. If his feet catch cold, he may catch a cold.

2, more outdoor activities, regular exercise.

3. Go to bed early, get up early and get enough sleep.

4. Keep the indoor air moist to prevent "scorched dirty" from being damaged by dryness and evil.

Second, diarrhea.

In early autumn, the temperature changes greatly, sometimes cold and sometimes hot. Colds, abdominal chills and various infections caused by climate change can also lead to diarrhea.

1, enhance physical fitness. Children with strong resistance are less sick, and the essence of good or bad constitution lies in the spleen. The key to strengthening the spleen in autumn lies in moistening the lungs.

2, don't blindly "spring and autumn freezing" to protect the navel from the cold, because there are rich nerve endings and nerve plexus around the navel, which is particularly sensitive to external cold and other stimuli.

3. Wash your hands frequently. In early autumn, all kinds of bacteria breed, so washing hands is very important. Wash your hands with running water before and after meals and before going home to hold your baby.

Finally, children should not blindly "paste autumn fat" in beginning of autumn season.

It's not the same now. Sticking autumn fat is no longer about eating big fish and big meat, but based on children's physical characteristics, it focuses on nourishing the spleen and stomach to help the body adapt to seasonal changes. In this process, it is more important to have a balanced diet, pay attention to balanced nutrition, and attach importance to autumn fertilizer scientifically and reasonably. Children who need autumn fertilizer are as follows:

1, congenital deficiency, slow physical development.

2. Low immunity.

3, picky eaters and partial eclipse lead to insufficient and comprehensive nutrition intake.

Although the weather in early autumn is cool in the morning and evening, there are still autumn tigers raging during the day. At this time, the child's diet and daily life depend entirely on the arrangement of parents. Understand these health care points, so that children can successfully spend this "eventful autumn"!
