Question

What to Eat When Children Have Heat?

Answer

When children have heat, consider the following foods:

  1. Fruits: Such as watermelons, papayas, and pineapples, which are rich in fiber and water, helping to clear heat and detoxify.
  2. Vegetables: Choose cooling vegetables like bitter melon, cabbage, and lettuce for their cooling effects.
  3. Beverages: You can give children drinks like chrysanthemum tea or cassia seed tea, which have cooling properties. Avoid giving children overly spicy, greasy, or hot foods such as fried chicken and chocolate, as these may worsen the heat symptoms. If symptoms are severe or persist, it is recommended to consult a doctor or a nutritionist for professional advice.
