How can babies eat zongzi to avoid indigestion? What should I do if my child eats too much zongzi?

Eating Zongzi is a traditional custom of the Dragon Boat Festival. Since Zongzi is mostly made of glutinous rice, it is easy to cause indigestion. Children's gastrointestinal function is not yet mature, so they should eat less Zongzi. How can we eat Zongzi to avoid indigestion?

1. For babies with poor spleen and stomach function and prone to indigestion, it is best to eat rice dumplings with some white radish. This can help digestion and prevent food accumulation caused by eating rice dumplings.

2 Eat with hawthorn. Hawthorn tastes sweet and sour, which can not only improve appetite but also promote digestion. Eating some hawthorn while eating rice dumplings can effectively reduce the greasiness, relieve the feeling of fullness and prevent food accumulation.

Children who eat too much zongzi will suffer from indigestion. Zongzi is made of glutinous rice, which has a high sugar content and is not particularly good for the stomach. Children's gastrointestinal function is relatively weak, so be sure not to eat too many zongzi. When eating zongzi, you must control the amount. Eating too much can easily cause blood sugar to rise. It is better to try to achieve a balanced diet. Supplementing more vitamins and proteins can improve the body's resistance and better promote children's physical development.

Applesauce

Reason: Apples can stop diarrhea and have a laxative effect. The tannic acid and organic base contained in apples have astringent effects, and the pectin contained in apples can absorb toxins. For simple mild diarrhea, eating apples alone can stop diarrhea. The cellulose contained in apples can stimulate intestinal peristalsis and accelerate defecation, so it also has a laxative effect.

Preparation method: Prepare an apple, cut it in half and remove the core. Steam it in a steamer for about 10 minutes, then use a spoon to mash the inner flesh and serve.

Orange peel porridge

Reason: The main reason why orange peel promotes digestion is that the volatile oil it contains has a stimulating effect on the digestive tract, which can increase the secretion of gastric juice and promote gastrointestinal motility.

Preparation method: Prepare appropriate amount of rice, white fungus, orange peel, orange pulp, wolfberry, and honey. Wash the rice, soak the white fungus and cut it into thin pieces. Take the peel of half an orange, remove the white part, soak it in water for a while, and then cut it into shreds. After the rice is boiled, add the orange peel and the soaked white fungus, and simmer for 30 to 45 minutes. Finally, add the wolfberry, pulp, and honey.

Malt tea

Reason: It helps in digestion, strengthens the spleen, eliminates dampness and stops dysentery. It is suitable for children with dysentery and diarrhea.

Preparation method: Prepare 30g of roasted malt and 8g of tea leaves (roasted), brew the above two ingredients with boiling water for 10 minutes, and take it warm at any time. One dose per day. Each dose can be brewed with boiling water 2 to 3 times.

1. Babies under 1 year old. Zongzi is not easy to digest, and the gastrointestinal function of babies under 1 year old is not fully developed, so it is not suitable for them to eat sticky food such as zongzi.

2. Diabetic babies. Diabetic babies should not eat too many rice dumplings. Even if they want to eat them, they should eat white rice dumplings without sugar.

3. Babies with poor digestive function, indigestion, diarrhea and other symptoms are not recommended to eat rice dumplings, otherwise it will aggravate the symptoms of gastrointestinal discomfort.

4. Babies cannot eat zongzi on an empty stomach. If you eat zongzi on an empty stomach, the glutinous rice will stay in the stomach, which is not good for gastrointestinal health. The best time to eat zongzi should be between meals.
