Question
The 8-year-old girl has not grown a new tooth for a year after losing one, has a poor constitution, often gets phlegm and heat, and frequently sticks out her tongue. How can this be resolved?
Answer
After losing a tooth, the 8-year-old girl has not grown a new one for a year, has a weak constitution, frequently experiences coughs with phlegm and heat, and often sticks out her tongue. She also has poor appetite and often cries. The human body requires seven essential nutrients and seven balanced dietary nutrients, including water, protein, fat, carbohydrates, trace elements, vitamins, and dietary fiber. Nutritionists have proposed the concept of “comprehensive nutrition, reasonable proportions, and balanced diet,” as well as the idea of ‘a small amount of vegetables and beans, one egg with some meat, five grains are enough to satisfy hunger.’ These views well reflect the thought of balanced diet. By carefully balancing our diet, we can maintain health. An unbalanced diet may lead to deficiencies or excesses of certain nutrients, thereby disrupting the balance of various nutrients in the body.
