It's getting colder and colder in Beijing recently, just like a # winter # rhythm!

Many children with weak resistance will get sick if they are not careful.

Many parents believe that children's dry mouth, dry nose, constipation and dry cough are all caused by autumn dryness.

So I want to relieve children's autumn dryness symptoms by drinking more water and eating more fruits such as pears and apples.

But the honey of A is arsenic of B.

Perhaps, the "dryness reduction method" you think is not suitable for children.

In autumn and winter, how to eat to make the lungs more moist?

Why can't the symptoms of autumn dryness be alleviated when children are obviously given a lot of pears?

……

In this issue, we invited Dr. Xin Xiaohui, the pediatric attending physician of Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine affiliated to Capital Medical University, to see what the doctor said. ...

Although the fruit is good, how to eat it is very particular.

If it is enlightening and helpful, please forward it.

After autumn, many parents increased their children's daily fruit intake. I want to improve children's autumn dryness in this way.

But in Dr. Xin's view, not all children are suitable for eating pears and other fruits. We should decide how to give children fruit according to its characteristics, time, place and people.

Pear, the first fruit to prevent autumn dryness?

We all know that pears are the first fruit to prevent autumn dryness and moisten the lungs. It can clear away heat, promote fluid production, moisten dryness and eliminate phlegm, which is the first fruit of health preservation in autumn.

So for pears, can all children eat them?

In other words, can we eat freely?

Don't! ! !

Pears are cold, and children with spleen and stomach deficiency or cold constitution should eat less or not.

Otherwise, once the spleen and stomach are damaged, the child's physique will get worse and worse, causing endless harm.

An apple a day keeps the doctor away?

We have heard such a saying since childhood: "An apple a day keeps the doctor away".

Apple has the reputation of "general practitioner" in fruits, and has the effects of promoting fluid production to quench thirst, clearing away heat and relieving annoyance, invigorating stomach and digestion, moistening lung and pleasing heart, astringing intestines and stopping diarrhea.

However, if the child has weak spleen and stomach and diarrhea, we still recommend eating less or not.

In addition, people with diabetes or stomach cold symptoms should avoid eating apples raw to avoid causing unnecessary diseases.

Three dates a day, is it light or not?

As the old saying goes, "three dates a day makes you old." Jujube contains a lot of vitamins, which is really a very good tonic and has the effect of regulating the spleen and stomach.

But if you eat for a long time or eat too much, it is easy to turn fire into phlegm.

Therefore, for children with excessive phlegm and constipation, we do not recommend eating more.

Tips:

For children with weak constitution and deficiency of spleen and stomach, we should eat fruits reasonably and try to choose flat fruits;

Although fruit is full and juicy, it tastes sweet, but it can't replace vegetables, let alone eat too much at a time;

Don't eat fruit immediately after meals, which will not only help digestion, but also cause abdominal distension and indigestion.

Pay attention to cleaning and disinfection when eating melons and fruits. Rotten melons and fruits can't be eaten, and they are prone to dysentery, abdominal pain, diarrhea and vomiting.

Rinse your mouth immediately after eating fruit. Some fruits just listed in autumn contain fermented sugars such as citric acid, malic acid and tartaric acid, which are very corrosive to teeth and easy to damage teeth. If you don't rinse your mouth in time after eating fruit, it is more likely to cause dental caries.

Only in this way can we correctly "moisten the lungs and remove dryness"

If you want to moisten lung dryness, drinking water in moderation is an essential maintenance measure, which is very important!

But for children, their spleen and stomach function is not complete, but it is not strong.

So when drinking water, you must try to drink warm water and drink slowly. Only by "moistening things quietly" can we have a good moisturizing effect on the body.

Secondly, we should supplement foods that nourish yin and moisten the lungs, and eat less pungent and warm products.

Eat more vegetables, such as radish, lotus root, Chinese cabbage, spinach, melon, cucumber and so on.

Meat can be eaten as duck and lean pork. ;

You can eat bananas, pears and so on. , as well as honey, dairy products and other products that moisten the lungs and promote fluid production, nourish yin and clear dryness;

Try to eat less or not to eat hot and dry products such as onions, ginger, garlic and peppers, as well as fried and greasy things, so as not to be spicy and warm, which will aggravate the symptoms of lung dryness.

In order to help our children moisten their lungs and eliminate dryness correctly, Dr. Xin has two cases of medicated diet to share with you.

In autumn and winter, besides diet, what other problems need attention?

Dress reasonably

As the saying goes, "spring covers autumn", because the slight cold stimulation in autumn can improve the excitability of children's brains, accelerate skin metabolism, enhance the body's cold tolerance and better adapt to the coming winter, but it must be moderate and vary from person to person.

For children with weak constitution or deficiency-cold constitution with basic diseases, clothes should be added in time.

Then for a strong child or a peaceful child, we can touch his hand, which is warm, indicating that his clothes are suitable.

Regulating emotion

In autumn, the sun is setting, and it's bleak outside. From the perspective of Chinese medicine, it is easy to feel depressed.

Therefore, we should pay attention to children's emotions, emotional intelligence, learn to self-regulate, remain optimistic, maintain inner peace, and appropriately extend the night sleep time.

Attention to personal hygiene

In the video, Dr. Xin also reminded parents that due to the strong wind in autumn, dry climate and large temperature difference between morning and evening, it is a very good breeding environment for pathogens.

Therefore, it is necessary to help children do a good job in personal hygiene and cleaning, wash their hands, face and nose frequently, and reduce the attachment of pathogens, thus reducing the possibility of illness.

Only by doing the above can children spend the autumn smoothly!
