A bowl of mung bean soup in dog days can relieve summer heat and reduce fire, which really kills two birds with one stone. However, some mothers find that the baby always feels dizzy after drinking mung bean soup, so is mung bean soup really suitable for children?

Mung bean soup can clear away heat and detoxify, but the baby should not drink more.

Mung bean soup is really a good way to relieve summer heat, but everything is too much. Proper drinking can make people feel refreshed and comfortable, but drinking too much is another matter, and it is not suitable for babies.

First of all, Chinese medicine believes that mung bean is a cool food, which can reduce stomach fire, but if you give your baby mung bean soup, it may increase the burden on their spleen and stomach.

Secondly, mung bean is rich in protein. Macromolecule protein must be hydrolyzed by digestive enzymes and converted into small peptides and amino acids before it can be absorbed by human body. Because the baby's digestive function is not fully developed and its digestive ability is weak, it is difficult for them to quickly digest protein in mung beans, which can easily lead to indigestion and diarrhea.

Ordinary adults drink mung bean soup two or three times a day, one bowl at a time. For children, it is best not to let the baby drink mung bean soup before he is 2 years old. When you are 2-3 years old, you can eat mung bean porridge in moderation until your baby is 6 years old. Drinking mung bean soup can be equal to that of adults. Of course, it depends on the baby's physical condition, and parents can consult a doctor.

Children drink mung bean soup better than mung bean porridge.

In fact, if you want to give your child mung beans to cool off the heat, you don't have to drink mung bean soup, and mung bean soup is too cold for your baby's physique. If you must drink it, it is a good choice to cook mung bean porridge with mung beans.
