There is an old Chinese saying, \”Spring brings summer, autumn brings harvest, and winter hides.\” Scientific research shows that children\’s growth and development rate in spring and summer is significantly faster than that in autumn and winter. However, as the weather gets hotter and hotter, many parents are troubled by their children not eating well. In addition, it is a common problem for everyone to be greedy for cold in summer. Children are particularly susceptible to illness under the stimulation of cold and heat. In the hot summer, how can we help our children have a good appetite, not get sick, and grow taller? Below, Dandan Mama recommends 8 dishes suitable for children to eat in summer. Eating them is much better than eating meat! Mung beans Mung beans are a good thing. They can clear away heat and relieve summer heat. They are a must-have for almost every household. Eating mung beans for children in summer can not only clear away heat and detoxify, but also improve children\’s appetite and increase their energy. At the same time, mung beans are rich in high-quality protein, which can enhance children\’s immunity. In addition, cooking mung bean porridge and mung bean soup for children can also clear the liver and improve eyesight, helping children to have good vision. One thing to note is that although there are many benefits for children to eat mung beans, mung beans are cool in nature. Children with cold body, weak intestines and stomach who are prone to diarrhea should not eat too much. Chrysanthemum brain Chrysanthemum brain, also known as chrysanthemum leaf. In the hot summer, drinking a bowl of chrysanthemum leaf egg soup that is left to cool down is definitely a good way to prevent heatstroke and relieve heat. Chrysanthemum brain is rich in nutrients such as protein, fat, fiber and vitamins, and has the effects of clearing away heat, detoxifying, and stimulating appetite. At the same time, studies have proven that chrysanthemum brain has an inhibitory effect on influenza viruses such as Shigella dysenteriae and Escherichia coli. In summer, giving your children a bowl of chrysanthemum leaf and egg soup can not only relieve the summer heat, but also regulate the gastrointestinal tract, resist the invasion of various germs, and reduce children\’s illness. Bitter Melon In summer, the weather is dry, and many people eat improperly, so children are especially prone to getting angry. Giving your children some bitter melon will help them eliminate heat and avoid getting angry. Moreover, bitter melon contains a large amount of active protein and multiple vitamins, which not only improves eyesight, but also enhances children\’s resistance. In addition, boiling water or pounding bitter melon into juice to scrub the skin can clear away heat, relieve itching and remove prickly heat. If your child gets prickly heat in summer, you can apply some bitter melon juice and the prickly heat will go away quickly. Because bitter melon tastes bitter, many children do not like to eat it, and bitter melon itself contains a large amount of oxalic acid, which will hinder the absorption of calcium in food. Therefore, before children eat bitter melon, Dandan Mama recommends that you blanch it in boiling water, which can not only reduce oxalic acid, but also remove the bitter taste to a certain extent. I would like to remind everyone that bitter melon is too cold for young children, so they must control their food intake to avoid harm to the child\’s body. Amaranth When summer comes, neither adults nor children have much appetite. Even if a bowl of fragrant braised pork is placed in front of them, they all feel greasy. At this time, a plate of red and green stir-fried amaranth can easily whet your appetite. Especially eating amaranth with rice, a bowl of red rice, is full of fun for the children, and they will eat it up before they know it. It is worth mentioning that the vitamin C content of amaranth ranks first among green vegetables. The calcium and iron contained in it can be quickly absorbed and utilized after entering the human body, which is of great benefit to children\’s bone development and tooth development. Garlic sprouts are grown in summer, which is also the season when viruses and bacteria are most likely to breed.If you are not careful, you will get infected by bacteria. However, garlic sprouts have very good sterilizing and antibacterial effects, and can effectively prevent diseases caused by bacterial infections and other problems, and prevent children from getting sick. In addition to containing vitamin C, protein, carotene and other nutrients, garlic sprouts are also rich in copper. Copper is an indispensable trace element for human health and has an important impact on the development of the human nervous system and IQ. Therefore, giving your children more garlic sprouts can not only improve their immunity, but also promote their brain development. Eggplant As the saying goes, one eggplant is equal to 10 medicines. As a seasonal vegetable in summer, eggplant is not only nutritious and delicious, but also good for health. Eggplant is rich in vitamin P, solanine, vitamin E and other nutrients, which have the functions of preventing bleeding and anti-aging. Eating eggplant regularly has positive significance in delaying human aging. Moreover, eggplant can clear away heat and relieve summer heat, which is especially suitable for children who are prone to prickly heat in summer. One thing to note is that eggplant is best eaten with the skin on. Because after the eggplant is peeled, the iron in the eggplant is easily oxidized by the air, which affects the body\’s absorption of iron. Only by eating the eggplant with the skin can the nutritional integrity of the eggplant be preserved. Scrambled eggs with luffa and luffa are also an indispensable dish on people’s summer dinner tables. The fresh and fragrant loofah looks mouth-watering. We all know that loofah is delicious and relieves heat, but we don’t know that loofah contains many nutrients; especially vitamin B and vitamin C, which are not only beneficial to children’s brain development, but also make children’s skin not dry, supple and shiny . However, because loofah is cold in nature, children with diarrhea symptoms should still eat less or try not to eat it to avoid aggravating diarrhea. Winter melon: Winter melon is rich in nutrients such as protein, carbohydrates, vitamins and mineral elements. It can not only clear the lungs and reduce phlegm, but also clear away heat and relieve summer heat. \”Suixiju Diet Spectrum\” says: \”If pregnant women eat it regularly, it will eliminate fetal poison and make the child disease-free.\” \”Qianjin\” also said: If children are thirsty, drink winter melon juice. It can be seen that eating winter melon in summer can detoxify, replenish water and prevent children from getting sick. Remember, you must remember to keep the skin on when boiling winter melon. This not only has the effect of cooling and relieving heat, but also clears away heat and diuresis, reduces swelling and detoxification, and promotes the production of fluids and relieves troubles. In summer, children tend to lose their appetite. But diet is the top priority for a child\’s growth and development. These 8 kinds of foods recommended by Dandan Mama are very effective in relieving heat and internal heat, can enhance children\’s appetite, help children obtain balanced nutrition, and help them grow taller and in better health!
