Summer is the season for children to grow taller, and nutritional intake is the basis for growth. However, with the arrival of summer and rising temperatures, children tend to lose their appetite or become anorexic in summer, and some suffer from vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea due to factors such as excessive cold drinks, unclean diet and irregularity, which often affect the normal supply of nutrients and are not conducive to height growth. So, how to reasonably arrange the diet during the summer vacation to ensure the nutritional needs of growth? First, to follow the principle of “balanced nutrition” in accordance with the proportion of the “nutritional pyramid” reasonable match. Many parents do not pay enough attention to their children’s diet, and the randomness is large, and even the ratio is inverted. There are also many short children who are anorexic and paranoid since childhood and still eat very little until adolescence. Parents are often busy with work and ignore their children’s dietary problems, missing a good time to grow taller. In the summer, not only should the proportion of various nutrients be well matched, but also eat three meals a day according to the daily routine. Some children put if “sheep”, play games a sit is most of the day, hungry to grab a snack or bowl of instant noodles, even the most basic nutrition can not reach, how can the height grow well. Secondly, during the summer season, children eat a lot of cold drinks every day, as well as chilled watermelon, chilled drinks, etc. “Hot without burning, cold without the vicissitudes” is the theory of Chinese medicine food taboo, the specific discussion of food temperature. The food should not be as hot as boiling water, and should not be as cold as cold ice. Food cold temperature is moderate, then the yin and Yang coordination, beneficial to health; the opposite will cause damage to the body. Children who eat too cold or too hot, it will disrupt the balance of yin and yang, affecting growth and development.

Do not chew large mouthfuls of food to avoid direct stimulation of the teeth, causing toothache and affecting the development of teeth. Disease is one of the most important factors affecting growth and development, and the focus of summer vacation prevention is to prevent “disease from entering the mouth. Third, the introduction of several types of summer diet for children’s growth. 1, duck meat: not only to supplement high-quality protein, but also rich in vitamins and trace elements, its cold nature, nourishing Yin and clearing heat, especially suitable for children with heat in the body, easy to get on fire. 2, acidic food: tomatoes, lemons, umeboshi (the main ingredient of sour plum soup), grapes, hawthorn, pineapple, kiwi, etc. can prevent excessive sweating and the consumption of gas and yin, but also to quench thirst, stomach and appetite. 3, potassium-rich food: summer sweating, with sweat loss of potassium ions are also more, eat more bananas, peaches, spinach, potatoes, celery, beans, etc.. 4, ginger: “winter eat radish summer eat ginger, do not need a doctor to prescribe.
