Your child has no appetite? Nutritionist Lin Licen suggested that you can start from the following aspects:

Constipation is defined as constipation if there is no bowel movement for more than 3 days. Children who do not eat enough water and fruits and vegetables are prone to have constipation problems. If the bowel movement is not smooth, it will also affect the child's appetite. Lin Licen suggested that children should be encouraged to eat some fruits and vegetables, but not to drink fruit juice instead of eating fruit, because the dietary fiber of fruit juice is not as good as that of fruit, and it will make children develop the habit of drinking sweet drinks, which will make it easier to raise fat children.

Children should take enough water to help their metabolism, help saliva secretion and gastrointestinal motility, and also improve their appetite. Lin Licen reminded that drinking too much water between meals will dilute the gastric juice and cause the child to have indigestion.

Some children's gastrointestinal digestive function is not so good, the gastrointestinal motility is slow, and the food is not fully digested, and it is easy to produce flatulence, and flatulence can also make the child lose appetite. Papaya, pineapple and other fruits, to help digestion, or with some probiotics that can help the intestines to improve the problem of flatulence.

The mineral "zinc" can help the synthesis and renewal of taste bud cells, which in turn affects the child's appetite. If the child eats less zinc-rich food in the diet, it is also prone to health problems of zinc deficiency. Diet can include clams, oysters, beef, liver, lean pork, nuts, etc. In addition, giving the child some diluted fruit vinegar or sweet and sour fruits such as oranges and pineapples before meals can also stimulate saliva secretion and cause appetizers.

In addition, the use of therapeutic ingredients such as barley, yam, etc., have the effect of appetizing and strengthening the spleen. !

Children's moderate outdoor activities, running and jumping not only help gastrointestinal motility, but also increase their hunger because of the increased activity. Therefore, after exercising, you can often see that your child's appetite has increased! Lin Licen emphasized that regular exercise and adequate nutritional intake can not only make children grow taller and stronger, but also improve their resistance, stay away from the threat of germs, and not easily get sick.
