Medicines and foods are of the same origin, and a proper diet is sure to be of great help in the recovery of kidney disease. Some parents report that it may be difficult to strictly control their children's diet, such as kidney disease with deficiency of both qi and yin. Due to deficiency of qi, it is necessary to eat less cold foods such as watermelon, winter melon, and corn. Due to deficiency of yin, it is necessary to eat less hot foods such as dog meat, lamb, lychees, longan, and fried foods. Due to a heterogeneous constitution, it is necessary to eat less "hair products" such as chicken feet, geese, and seafood. In this way, The child's interest in eating has greatly decreased, and parents feel very distressed when they look at it. Sometimes, they secretly give their child some food, even if they find it okay.
In fact, these inappropriate foods are not necessarily inedible at all, but should not be eaten frequently. Because they are food, not drugs, their impact on the body only occurs after a long time of ingestion. Therefore, as long as they are not consumed in large quantities and frequently, there is no impact on the child's condition. For example, if they are consumed 1-2 times a week, the problem is not significant. "However, children's individual differences are significant, and their physical condition changes from time to time. Therefore, the concept of" large and frequent "is different for each child, which requires parents to patiently explore the amount of your child.".
Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes food matching. Although children may not be suitable for hot food, eating cold food after eating hot food can play a neutralizing role. For example, if a child eats a few lychees, parents can give him some bitter gourds and drink some herbal tea, which can also play a neutralizing role.
Western medicine emphasizes a balanced diet and does not advocate restricting too much, which can lead to nutritional deficiencies. Therefore, parents of children with kidney disease do not have to blindly not give their children this and that, just pay attention to moderation.
