In my life, I often meet some parents with sad faces and ask me, "Teacher, my child is light and long, and children of the same age in kindergarten are heavier than her." What should I do? " "The child grew a little taller last year, but his weight hasn't changed. He eats a lot every day. Where did all the food go? " ..... Although the child is too fat and not good, it just doesn't gain weight, which also worries parents. Many parents say that we change the model to let our children eat three meals a day. Why is the child still thin after half a year? As we all know, weight is an important indicator to measure health. A healthy child's weight will increase with age. Children can eat, but their weight cannot increase with age, which is generally caused by the following reasons.

Reason one: it is unreasonable to eat vegetables every day. Although the living conditions are good now, there is no shortage of food and drink, but too many parents will not give their babies food. Our body's nutrients exist in a "dynamic balance" way, that is to say, the body needs seven kinds of nutrients, and the intake and consumption of protein, fat and carbohydrate are in a corresponding relationship, which is what we often call "a balanced diet". For example, some children especially like to eat meat. If they eat more meat in their diet, they will consume more protein. If protein's intake exceeds the needs of children's growth and development for a long time, it will lead to indigestion and malnutrition.

The second reason: the daily activity is too large, and the nutritional calories are not directly proportional to the amount of exercise. If the income exceeds the output, there will be meat gain. On the contrary, if the income is less than the output, there will be no meat gain. Children are naturally lively and active, climbing up and down every day, running around all the time. Too much activity consumes too much body, so although they eat a lot every day, it is easy to make ends meet.

Reason 3: Too little sleep every day. The old saying that children grow up in sleep is also reasonable. When we sleep, the body secretes a growth hormone to promote physical development. At the same time, the metabolism is at the lowest level and the consumption is the least. Therefore, it is beneficial to human growth and development. If children stay up late every day, sleep late at night and wake up early in the morning, too little sleep will affect the secretion of growth hormone, which will lead to the symptoms of eating without growing meat, so ensuring adequate sleep time every day is of great benefit to children's growth and development.

Reason 4: Spleen deficiency, the function of the stomach is to turn the food eaten in the stomach into a porridge-like mixture, and the spleen transports nutrients to all parts of the body. Children with strong bellies certainly have a good appetite and eat more. However, if the spleen is weak, its absorption and transportation functions will be poor, and it is impossible to transport nutrients to all parts of the body. If the nutrition the body needs is not satisfied, it will naturally be small and thin and look like malnutrition. For children with spleen and stomach weakness, parents must pay attention to diet, do not eat more cold food, and give the baby a clockwise massage and chiropractic massage every day, which will help improve the symptoms of spleen deficiency.

Reason 5: Some diseases cause that if there are parasites in children's intestines, parasites will absorb a lot of nutrients in the body, and there will be cases where they can't eat meat. If diseases such as liver and intestine lead to long-term diarrhea, it is easy to cause abnormal secretion of digestive juice, hinder nutrient absorption, and lead to the situation that light eating does not grow meat. Hyperthyroidism, which is caused by high metabolism in the body, will make people thinner and thinner. In addition, congenital deficiency or low physiological function, such as twins, multiple births, premature delivery and so on. It is more likely to lead to eating less and not growing meat. If it is a disease, it is recommended to consult a professional doctor in time.
