With the arrival of high temperatures in summer, hot weather can easily make people lose their appetite. And the same goes for children, but if they don't eat due to hot weather, mothers will definitely worry about affecting their growth. So, what if a child doesn't eat in hot weather? How can we encourage children to eat more?
It is normal for children's appetite to slightly decrease in the hot and humid summer weather, so there is no need to be too anxious. If it is not due to certain diseases but only because of hot weather and not eating, parents can make more efforts in food, such as making meals as diverse as possible, making more easily digestible, light and refreshing foods that look pleasing to the eye and have an appetite. Children can also eat more fresh fruits, supplement with various vitamins and trace elements, and enhance their immunity.
When cooking, you can also add some vinegar appropriately, which can increase the concentration of stomach acid, stimulate appetite, enhance gastrointestinal motility, and promote digestion. In terms of eating, children can be encouraged to eat more and less, or they can increase their physical activity appropriately to increase their appetite.
Also, parents can decorate their meals with bright colors or create some designs to attract their children's attention and cultivate good eating habits. However, they should not force their children to eat, try to minimize snacks and junk food, and avoid eating large amounts of ice cream and drinking high calorie beverages.
