How to stimulate children's appetite?

　Recently, patients with poor appetite in children consult more, I would like to talk about this issue. Appetite is one of the basic human desire, no appetite, humans can not continue to survive and multiply. General health of children, in addition to suffering from diseases, had normal appetite. However, recent as the one-child increase in the number of Xiaoeryanshi also increasing.

Appetite, is the desire to eat something, and its produce is subject to the nervous system control, in the case of fasting, gastrointestinal contraction to stimulate the brain's appetite center excitement, resulting in the desire of food intake, on the contrary, stomach full of food , stomach stretch and stimulate the appetite, central inhibition, appetite will disappear. Meanwhile, the person's mental condition has a direct impact on appetite, as in the case of stress, even if the fasting does not want to eat something, that is a happy and stimulating feeding center, and vice versa inhibit feeding center.

In addition, the person's blood and body fluids also had an influence on appetite, blood glucose values are low to stimulate the nerve center of appetite generate, on the contrary, blood sugar is high then the appetite suppressant. Therefore, in order to stimulate the appetite in children from the following aspects.

First, do not let children eat snacks, to keep children in each fasting fasting, resulting in 'hunger' to stimulate the brain appetite center appetite generate, so that children 'beggars', then it can prevent the occurrence of partial eclipse, but also at the same time so that children in the meal, I felt very physical and emotional satisfaction, which satisfy the appetite of this instinct can also facilitate the further developed and improved.

Second, control the amount of children's candy, especially in the 1-2 hours before meals is best not to eat sugary foods, so that my son's direct stimulation of the nerve center of low blood sugar appetite.

Thirdly, let children eat in a pleasant environment, in the meals do not reprimand children, because its strong external stimuli cause stress in children, resulting in reduced secretion of digestive juice, appetite disappeared.

Fourth, to prevent children in the diet to generate an antagonistic mentality, forced children to eat a certain food, it will produce rebellious children, more influence appetite, the more years of child care, this situation more serious, 'you let me eat, I am partial do not eat ', or the trouble to cope with what is common and some parents say;' you gave me to eat this a la carte ', children are' I'll give you to eat it ', originally appetite is a basic human desire, but was children as a task to complete, then lost the original meaning of eating, which is the normal development of the appetite in children had a negative impact.

In short, my son's appetite occur, developed not by corporal punishment, reprimand and other means to force, nor by coddle, pet to train, but by the scientific feeding, patiently guide to inspire, to perfect.
