Lovable. However, some people worry, "Is it really good to eat so much?" In fact, from a medical point of view, eating so much is really not good. Hu Jinli, deputy chief physician of the Pediatrics Department of Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that the nervous system of infants and young children has not yet been fully developed, and the control ability of the feeding center is still developing, which means that children’s feelings of fullness are not accurate enough, and sometimes children have already eaten very well. If the feeding center does not "stop", the child will continue to eat. At this time, parents are needed to help the child control the food intake.

Chinese medicine believes that if a child eats too much, it will easily lead to food accumulation. "Eat stagnation and internal arrest" are prone to internal fire, which can lead to lung heat in children and cause respiratory diseases such as upper respiratory tract infections. "In the outpatient clinic, if you ask the children who often catch colds carefully, many parents of children are not feeding properly. The main problem is that the children's diet is not moderate." Hu Jinli said, Xiaoman does not look thin. Children who are overweight or obese in childhood can also affect their health in adulthood. In the long run, childhood overweight and obesity will lead to decreased cardiovascular function, lung function damage, abnormal blood lipid metabolism, abnormal glucose metabolism, etc., and will increase the child's future risk of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, cancer, and diabetes. . Therefore, it may not be a good thing for children to be particularly able to eat and love to eat. Elderly people often say, "If you want children to be safe, you should be hunger and cold." In fact, it's not just children who don't overeat, it's best for adults to eat only 80%. "Although Xiaoman is cute, parents are advised not to follow suit or envy this way of eating."
