How to treat children's weak spleen and stomach, there are ways to strengthen the spleen and stomach

Children's digestive systems are not yet fully developed, and their spleen and stomach functions are not yet fully developed. If they do not pay attention to a balanced diet in their daily life, they are prone to weak spleen and stomach problems. A baby's weak spleen and stomach often leads to poor immunity, sallow complexion, dark circles under the eyes, etc. So how do we treat children’s weak spleen and stomach?

1: The diet should be light, rich in protein, vitamins, trace elements and easily digestible food. Do not eat too greasy barbecued or fried foods. Cooking in the form of soup, porridge, stew, cake, etc. is beneficial to the digestion and absorption of the spleen and stomach. Parents should pay attention to eating in moderation to prevent overeating from damaging the spleen and stomach.

Corn can strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness, and it can stimulate appetite and improve intelligence. Eating more corn can improve children's gastrointestinal function and help intellectual development. Job's tears can strengthen the spleen and lungs, clear away heat and eliminate dampness.

Pinching the spine can strengthen the spleen and aid digestion, improve appetite, reduce colds and enhance physical fitness.
