If a child doesn't eat meat, it may be a deficiency of the spleen! Learn 5 small recipes of massage
Many mothers report that their children are particularly able to eat, but they are still thin, small, and have yellow hair, what is going on? In fact, most of these children have a typical strong stomach and weak spleen.
The stomach is mainly decomposed and stored, and the spleen is absorbed and transported. To put it in layman's terms, the function of the stomach is to turn the food eaten into a porridge-like mixture, and the spleen transports the nutrients in it to the rest of the body. Children with a strong stomach, of course, have a good appetite and eat a lot. However, when the spleen is weak, the spleen's absorption and transportation function is poor, and it is unable to transport nutrients to all parts of the body. If the nutrients needed by the body are not met, they will naturally be small, thin, and look like malnutrition.
Children with a weak spleen may also have food accumulation and recurrent colds. Moreover, children with spleen deficiency cannot rise due to the subtlety of Yunhua Shuigu to nourish the head, face, heart and lungs, so the child will also have problems such as not having a ruddy face and often catching colds. Children can eat but not digest, just like the products processed in the factory can't be sold, and they will accumulate there after a long time, so the child will still eat and accumulate.
