Chronic anorexia will affect the growth and development of children

"Pediatric anorexia is a common and frequently-occurring pediatric anorexia that occurs between the ages of 1 and 6 years." Lu chongjiang, chief physician in the department of Chinese medicine at foshan nanhai branch of gusheng tang, pointed out that from the perspective of Chinese medicine, anorexia can be diagnosed if the child shows dislike or dislike to eat for a long period of time.

Infantile anorexia may cause malnutrition, affect growth and development (short, thin, growth retardation, etc.), and may present infantile infantile infantile infantile infantile infantile infantile infantile dystrophy, namely the serious malnutrition that western medicine says. Over time, a child's growth, nutritional status and intellectual development can all be affected.

Parents often force feeding or lead to anorexia in children

The two most common causes of childhood anorexia are "parents think you're hungry" and overeating.

Eating is human nature. If you are hungry, eat and be satisfied. However, many parents feel that their children do not eat enough, so they are forced to feed, which leads to the psychological shadow of the children, turning the eating, which is a very easy and natural behavior, into a kind of torture, and then resistance.

Children's function of spleen and stomach is not well developed. If they eat too much, too full, or eat something not easy to digest at one time, they may cause damage to spleen and stomach, which may lead to indigestion. They do not want to eat, and over time, they become anorexia.

Parents' daily feeding habits should be scientific

Treatment is important. It is more important to correct routine feeding. According to lu chongjiang, the change in parents' attitudes is the best way to prevent childhood anorexia.
