Should I avoid eating during pediatric massage?

What not to eat and what to eat more of is the first thing that the tui na doctor communicates to parents before the operation of pediatric tui na begins, which is the avoidance of food during the tui na process. Why is that? The taboos in pediatric massage are closely related to the physiological and pathological characteristics of children. Let’s take a look at what is contraindicated in the transition process of pediatric massage. The first category, high protein foods, such as meat, eggs, milk, etc.. These foods are avoided because. Children are born with an underdeveloped spleen and stomach, or as Chinese medicine says, ‘the spleen is often deficient’. Foods with high protein are difficult to digest compared to other foods. When a child is sick, if he eats too much high-protein food, it will add to the weakness of the spleen and stomach, making them even weaker. The second category: foods that are easily inflammable, mainly snacks, fried and dry foods. The reason for avoiding these foods is that children have a pure Yang body, which is prone to heat and dryness, and is prone to fire; children are mostly sick with fire and heat, such as cough, constipation, night cries, recurrent tonsillitis, and fever, which are mostly caused by fire and heat. The third category, cold food, such as cold drinks, just out of the refrigerator food, etc.. The temperature of the human body is higher than the temperature of the body surface, imagine what it is like to suddenly pour cold water on our body. After the cold food is swallowed from the mouth, it will eventually reach the stomach through the throat and esophagus, and what will it feel like? Especially when you are sick, the organism is already mobilized to fight the disease, cold food is like a pot of cold water poured on it, the emergency balance of mobilization will be broken and a lot of energy will be consumed, which is very bad for the organism to recover. In addition, in Chinese medicine, the first thing to recover from disease is to restore the “stomach qi”, which is a cold attraction. Cold food will affect the rise of gastric energy after eating, “gastric energy does not produce disease is difficult to heal”. In addition to the children sick, there are some to eat more, more food will help children recover from illness. 1, eat more grains, eat more porridge, porridge is the most nourishing stomach, the most conducive to the ascension of the stomach gas. 2, drink more water, cough with phlegm, indigestion to drink more white radish water. 3, eat more vegetables, supplement vitamins. 4, eat more nuts, with plant protein to replace animal protein, in order to ensure nutrition at the same time is also conducive to digestion.
