Four keys to healthy growth for children

Children are the future of our country, and it is the wish of every parent and every pediatrician to let our children grow up healthily. Chinese medicine believes that the treatment of diseases must be based on the root of the disease, and the doctor treats the disease before the disease, but not the disease after the disease, and on how to treat the disease before the disease, Chinese medicine believes that “the spleen and stomach and the disease will not be born, but the spleen and stomach is not harmonious, then a hundred diseases. This emphasizes the importance of spleen and stomach regulation. Mr. Zhu Futang, the originator of modern Western pediatrics, wrote in Practical Pediatrics that the importance of the function of the gastrointestinal tract in children is unspeakable. It can be seen that both Chinese and Western medicine emphasize the importance of the spleen and stomach, and believe that the key to treating the undiseased is to “harmonize the spleen and stomach”. How to regulate the spleen and stomach: Newborns: probiotics to establish normal intestinal flora, from the first day after birth to seven days; then eat a week every month to repair the intestinal flora. Infants and young children with diarrhea and stools more often with wake up the spleen to raise children particles; constipation with Jianbao Ling particles or pediatric seven star tea. 2, supplement vitamin D The role of vitamin D is like the cement used to build a house, while the role of calcium is like bricks; so vitamin D has an important role in reinforcing the arrangement of calcium in the bones, so generally speaking, when we commonly call children calcium deficiency, it refers to a lack of D rather than a lack of calcium; at the same time in the human body, D also has an important role in promoting the absorption of calcium. Then calcium deficiency is even more indicated by a lack of D. It is recommended that D supplementation should be supplemented until the end of puberty development, and the child does not grow then the growth requirement of vitamin D is not available. It is recommended to supplement D when there is excessive sweating, restless sleep, turning over during sleep, dreaming and stirring, suspend D when the above symptoms disappear, and supplement again when symptoms appear ….. The supplementation will stop until the end of puberty. 3, drink milk Milk is an essential nutrient for children because it can provide us with an adequate source of protein and calcium. 500ml of milk per day (or milk powder brewed into 500ml of whole milk) can meet the calcium and protein needed for children’s growth and development. The recommendations are as follows: within 1 year: breast milk or formula, about 800ml/day, from about ten months onwards add formula and start mixed feeding, stop breast milk to pure formula feeding from about 1 week old. Generally speaking, breast milk to about ten months, is already late milk, can not meet the needs of the children’s growth and development, if you really can not wean breast milk, but also recommended that the mother a pound of milk every day, six eggs, preferably 3-7 days a chicken, otherwise nutrition is not enough, will affect the healthy growth of children. 1-2 years old: milk powder 600ml/day; 2-5 years old: milk (powder) 500ml/day; 5 years old and above: hot plain milk 500ml/day until 18 years old. 4.Supplementation of DHA can promote children’s intellectual development, vision development, etc.
