Question
What foods are suitable for children with spleen deficiency?
Answer
It is recommended that children with spleen deficiency consume more foods with cooling and dampness-relieving properties, such as mung beans, bitter melon, bok choy, and chrysanthemum; these foods are beneficial for children. At the same time, they should also incorporate more whole grains into their diet; these are beneficial for them. However, some foods have a nourishing and heat-producing effect, such as grass carp, lychees, and chicken; these are advised to be eaten in small quantities or avoided altogether.
