小朋友都要健脾胃???
作為父母，最擔心的當然是小朋友的健康，尤其是有沒有吃得飽。只要孩子一餐不願吃，爸爸媽媽緊張得如天跌下來。小朋友都愛新鮮，可以將他們不喜歡的菜切細或是把食物弄成有趣的造型增加食慾。假如這樣沒太大幫助，就要好好改善他們的飲食習慣，飯前不吃零食或果汁等，還要有固定的進食時間，可減少有可能引起的胃脹和消化不良。小朋友真的沒胃口也不要過分威逼，由於他們的脾胃運作尚未完全發育，脾胃相對虛弱，加上天氣悶熱或平時飲食習慣不良好也會不想食正餐。除了每天飲用一杯米水，可以煮個健脾開胃茶療，改善胃口。
胃頂頂茶療－
材料：粟米連鬚1根、麥芽10克、谷芽10克、淡竹葉10克、冰糖小許
做法：將材料洗淨。粟米去皮切段。鍋內加入1000毫升水，加入所有材料，武火煮至水滾，改文火煮30分鐘，加入適量冰糖調味即可。
功效：適合消化不良、無胃口、飯後胃脹不適等症狀。建議一星期連續飲3-4日。注意：麥芽有回乳功效，哺乳中女士不宜飲用。
Yikes! My child won’t eat!
As parents, one of the top worries is your child’s health, especially if you are feeding enough. If a child refuses a meal, usually that is enough to cause panic! Most children enjoy new things so you can try cutting what they don’t like, vegetables for example, into small pieces or shape the food into interesting shapes and characters to increase their willingness to eat. If none of these tricks work, then you may need to relook at their overall eating habits and adjust accordingly. Avoid snacks and juice before meal, have meal times at regular times, and these changes may help to reduce abdominal bloating and indigestion. When your child really does not have any appetite, don’t force the issue too hard too as children’s spleen and stomach functions may not have matured fully. With weaker spleen and stomach and stuffy hot temperatures or some bad dietary habits, it may be normal that they don’t want to eat anything during regular meal times. Aside from drinking a cup of rice water daily, try making this tea remedy to strengthen the spleen and stimulate appetite.
Stomach Bloating Tea Remedy-
Ingredients: 1 ear of corn (with silk), 10g malt, 10 rice sprouts, 10g lophatherum, rock sugar to taste
Preparation method: Rinse all ingredients thoroughly. Remove husks from corn and cut into pieces. Combine ingredients with 1000 ml of water in a pot, and place over high heat until the water boils. Switch to low heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Add in rock sugar to taste.
Effects: Suitable for those with indigestion, lack of appetite and post-meal abdominal bloating. For best results, drink consecutively for 3-4 days.
Note: This tea contains malt which aids with wean
