How to improve children's diet in hot weather?

Many parents report that the appetite of children has been greatly affected by the hot weather since the summer vacation.

Many parents are afraid to use air conditioning for their children, fearing that their children will get sick if they can't stand air conditioning, especially the elderly who take care of their children, and dare not be exposed to air conditioning.

In a high temperature environment, if you eat hot food, it will also affect your food intake. Because in the process of food intake, the human body needs extra energy due to the digestion, absorption and metabolic transformation of nutrients in food, and at the same time causes the body temperature to rise and release energy. In addition, the high temperature environment affects the heat dissipation in the body, especially eating high-protein food, which will produce more heat.

Therefore, in hot weather, avoid eating high-temperature food, add cold salad, or cool the dishes for a while before eating. However, parents need to pay attention to the fact that it is necessary to strictly control the consumption of frozen foods such as ice cream and frozen drinks for children, so as not to hurt the spleen and stomach.
