However, excessive supplementation should not lead to counterproductive effects.
What should children eat to supplement their weak constitution
In terms of diet, parents need to boil bone soup for their children every week. This soup can not only enhance their physical fitness, but also improve their immunity. Generally, bone soup can be accompanied by some side dishes, such as lotus root, corn, potatoes, seaweed, etc. Especially corn, which is a coarse grain that helps the child's digestive system, so that the child's ears and stomach are not easily swollen.
The combination of meat and vegetables for three meals a day should also be appropriate. Don't just let children eat meat and vegetables completely without touching them. Children not only need to eat meat, but also need to eat vegetables. Vegetables can supplement rich vitamins and make up for the nutrients that meat cannot supplement. Some children don't like vegetables at all, so they can think of other ways to let them eat, such as making vegetable Congee, mashing carrots, vegetables, and corn, and adding them when cooking porridge. Such vegetable Congee can be used as a general staple food for children to eat.
When it comes to exercise, parents should not be afraid of their children getting hurt and keep them at home. The best way for children is to expose them to the outside world and play and move around. Sports such as playing soccer, basketball, table tennis, etc. not only help children stay fit but also learn social skills. Therefore, parents can take their children out for exercise during breaks. Exercise can also increase children's appetite, which is an effective method for some children who do not like to eat. Combining exercise and diet can improve children's physical fitness.
How to eat due to poor physical condition
Milk is not only rich in protein, fat, and lactose, but also contains many minerals such as calcium and magnesium, as well as various vitamins. Enzymes and some active substances in milk can eliminate harmful substances in the body and enhance immunity. Children with poor immunity can drink a glass of milk in the morning and evening every day; Alternatively, adding a spoonful of honey to yogurt can greatly enhance the body's biological immune system and strengthen physical fitness.
Improving immunity also requires appropriate zinc supplementation. Zinc is a nutrient for the development of the immune organ thymus. Only with sufficient zinc can thymus development be effectively ensured, normal differentiation of T lymphocytes be promoted, and cellular immune function be enhanced. If a child is picky eaters, grows slowly, has a weakened immune system, and frequently experiences colds and fever, it is likely due to zinc deficiency. It is recommended to take the child to the hospital for trace element testing and supplement with appropriate zinc supplements. Zinc can also be supplemented through diet, such as consuming lean meat, fish, milk, walnuts, peanuts, sesame seeds, animal liver, etc.
For children with weak physical constitution, if they want to supplement their diet, they can combine the main ingredients analyzed above with their hobbies to cook. To have a good physique, in addition to changes in diet, children can be encouraged to exercise more. A strong physique is the foundation of life, and a body without illness can feel more happiness.
