What is accumulated food
Many children's diseases are related to their parents' improper care. In particular, the phenomenon of "accumulated food", such as thinking about what to let children eat, eating too much and not digesting, tummy distention and so on, often occurs, which makes parents sad.
What is food? To put it bluntly, it's energy and heat. If children eat too much, they will accumulate food and generate internal heat. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is called "accumulating food and depressing heat", and common people call it "eating fire". To put it bluntly, it means that eating too much, or too much nutrition, exceeds the maximum digestion and absorption function of the spleen and stomach. At this time, a lot of food cannot be digested and absorbed in time. In this way, it will damage the function of the spleen and stomach, make the digestion and absorption function worse, thus forming the accumulation of food.
If food is not digested and absorbed in time, it will accumulate and heat up. Accumulated food is the first domino of children's illness, because if there is accumulated food, it is equivalent to the first domino to fall, which will bring a lot of problems that many parents can't think of.
