Don't blindly give children supplements. Parents want their children to grow up healthily, but there are always some individual differences in their growth and development due to congenital or acquired factors. Some children may be shorter than their friends, or some children are prone to illness, so parents often feel anxious. Some parents are keen to let their children eat a lot of nutritional supplements for their children's growth, hoping that their children will develop better. At present, many supplements on the market are effective in some cases, but at present, the nutritional supplements are mixed, and the wrong method is not only useless but harmful. Therefore, some adverse effects of tonic can not be ignored. 1, the ingredients of supplements are complex, and some supplements contain sex hormones, which may lead to precocious puberty in children. 2, taking too many supplements will interfere with the child's digestion and absorption ability. Adding extra supplements when children have sufficient nutrition and calories can't achieve the effect of tonic. Excessive nutritional supplements may also interfere with children's gastrointestinal function and reduce appetite. As a result, some children take supplements, which affects normal growth and development. 3. Excessive supplements can also cause diseases or endanger children's health. In recent years, children have been poisoned by taking too many vitamins. This is because parents are afraid that their children are short of vitamins and give them a lot of them for a long time. Such as acute hydrocephalus caused by vitamin A overdose. Therefore, don't blindly add supplements to your child. If the child is in poor health, please see a doctor. Healthy children generally don't need to take supplements May 20, 2004 14:45 Author: Liu Xiaoni Source: Guangzhou Daily page function Let me say two words: I want to "pull" the wrong recommended font: Parents who are worried about the closure of large, medium and small characters want to make up for their children. But how to make up for it? Children with repeated colds can eat Beiqi Dangshen Aling, afraid of taking tonics. Last year, a drugstore that her mother passed by after work was selling tonics. It doesn't look good to think of my daughter's face. Although it was expensive, Ma Ling bought three boxes. Who knows that A Ling just ate more than one box, and her mouth was thirsty and her stool was dry. After two days, it was even worse. Aling's gums are red and swollen, and her left conjunctiva is bleeding. The doctor explained that A Ling was still young and had a hot constitution. Eating hot tonic is like adding fuel to the fire, burning body fluid and bursting capillaries. If you make up for it, the consequences are hard to say. Although Gao Xiao, a boy, is as tall as an ox, he can't stand the "offensive" of his mother. During the May Day holiday this year, my mother served stew every day. Gao Xiao didn't want to kiss her kindness and swallowed them one by one. As a result, he not only got angry, but also made his stomach stagnate. Wei, director of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital, said that whether it is needed depends on whether the body needs it, that is, Chinese medicine insists that "deficiency is to supplement it, but actually diarrhea it". Teenagers generally don't need to take supplements because their metabolism is vigorous. If they are healthy, they won't have any defects. Their problem is not undernutrition, but overnutrition or partial eclipse. With the current living standard, whether it is ordinary family or school meals, if children are not partial to food, nutrition is enough. Of course, teenagers are growing up, so it is ok to drink more bone soup and milk at ordinary times. However, children should not be allowed to eat herbs such as ginseng and velvet antler, which will not only make children insomnia and acne, but also affect endocrine because these herbs contain hormones. A few children are in poor health, and Director Wei thinks it is necessary to find out the reasons. For example, children with anemia and chronic rhinitis often have a bad complexion and are prone to repeated colds. You can eat Beiqi and Dangshen to make it up. If children often feel tired and dry mouth, this is a sign of qi deficiency, and they can take American ginseng. Those who are physically weak should beware of "deficiency without tonic" Whether busy adults need to make up for it varies from person to person. Experts believe that it is a big misunderstanding to equate tonic with health care. First of all, we must find out if we are empty, and then we must find out what is empty. The most taboo is to make up for it. Some people think that all tonics are hot, but they are not, such as Radix Adenophorae, Rhizoma Polygonati Odorati and Radix Panacis Quinquefolii. , are cool tonics. People with cold constitution will have symptoms such as light mouth, dizziness and fatigue. The spleen and stomach are not good, and eating them will cause diarrhea. In addition, experts especially remind people to beware of "deficiency without tonic", that is, because of weak constitution, they can't bear the supplement of supplements, which causes adverse reactions in the body. If some people have sores, insomnia, stomachache, abdominal distension and diarrhea after tonic, it is because tonic first causes indigestion, and then affects absorption function, resulting in malnutrition, qi deficiency and blood weakness. The doctor suggested that in order to improve the symptoms of deficiency and cold without tonic, we can take mild tonic according to the current seasonal characteristics to strengthen our physique, that is, lead tonic or bottom tonic, so that the human body can gradually adapt to the role of tonic and lay a good foundation for tonic in winter.
