What diseases should children prevent during the summer solar term?
In hot summer, it is very common for primary and secondary school students to eat cold drinks because of hot weather. From the perspective of Chinese medicine, what do children do? Chunyang? Body and diseases are mostly manifested as positive and heat syndrome, which is also the reason why children like to eat cold. Coupled with the sultry weather, children eat cold and drink cold constantly, and eat iced coke, ice cream and popsicles several times a day. The child is in the stage of growth and development, and the function of viscera is still not perfect. When children eat too many cold drinks, the gastrointestinal tract will often be full of drinks, which will suddenly reduce the temperature in the gastrointestinal tract, slow down local blood circulation and reduce blood flow, thus affecting the absorption of nutrients in the gastrointestinal tract. Overeating cold drinks will also reduce the secretion of gastric acid, pepsin, amylase and lipase in the small intestine, which will affect the digestion of food. It can be seen that if parents let their children eat too much cold drinks, they will not only fail to meet their nutritional needs, but also lead to digestive disorders and long-term nutritional deficiency.
Chinese medicine believes that the digestion and absorption of diet depends on the function of spleen and stomach. After eating cold things, it can hurt the spleen and stomach, leading to spleen and stomach deficiency, abdominal pain and diarrhea, anorexia and so on. Therefore, it is necessary to control the intake of cold drinks in hot weather.
There are three preventive measures:
One is homemade cold drinks, such as iced mung bean soup and ice porridge. It is not only hygienic but also has the effect of relieving summer heat, and it does little harm to the stomach.
Second, don't eat too many cold drinks at once. It is best to drink 1~2 cups of cold drinks and eat 1 popsicle a day.
Third, don't drink cold drinks immediately after exercise. This is because the whole body is excited after exercise. Eating cold and drinking cold is too irritating to the gastrointestinal tract, which is easy to cause gastrointestinal colic. In addition, don't drink cold drinks while eating, so as not to affect your appetite and digestion and absorption of food. In short, don't lead to spleen and stomach weakness and anorexia in summer because of overeating and cold.
Young people and middle-aged people should prevent overwork.
