Indigestion of children is one of the health problems common to children and is often a source of concern for parents. Indigestion can take the form of abated appetite, abdominal abdomen, vomiting, abdominal abdominal pain, and excrement abnormalities, which are of general concern to parents. This paper will explore in detail the effects of indigestion on the growth and development of children and provide some responses.
First, indigestion and indigestion of nutrients are mainly related to the insufficiency of foods in the gastrointestinal tract, resulting in inadequate body nutrition. For children in development, adequate nutrition is the basis to support their healthy growth. Long-term indigestion can lead to inadequate intake of nutrients in children ‘ s diet, especially essential nutrients such as proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. Protein: Protein is the basis for tissues such as muscles, bones and skin, and lack of protein affects their normal growth and repair. 2. Fatty: Fatty not only provides energy, but also constitutes an important component of cell membranes and the synthesis of certain hormones. Inadequate long-term fat intake affects children ‘ s energy reserves and normal physiological functions. 3. Carbohydrates: Carbohydrates are the main source of energy, and the lack of carbohydrates leads to insufficient energy supply and affects children ‘ s daily activities and growth and development. 4. Vitamins and minerals: Vitamins and minerals are involved in multiple metabolic processes in the body, and the lack of these nutrients leads to reduced immune functions, anaemia, and abnormal bone development.
Specific effects of indigestion on growth and development The growth and development of children can be affected by chronic malnutrition, in the form of slow weight growth and small heights. Long-term malnutrition can also lead to inadequate body growth hormones or reduced body sensitivity to growth hormones, further exacerbating the problem of stunting. 2. Low immunity: Indigestion leads to vitamin and mineral deficiencies, in particular nutrients such as vitamin A, C, E and zinc, which are essential for maintaining the normal functioning of the immune system. The lack of these nutrients reduces the functioning of the child ‘ s immune system, is prone to illness and affects the process of growth and development. Anaemia and hysteria: Indigestion can also lead to a lack of iron, folic acid or vitamin B12 and lead to reduced or excessive red cell damage, leading to anaemia. Anaemia can be manifested in the form of inactivity, dizziness and, in serious cases, can affect cognitive capacity and behavioural development. In addition, vitamin D deficiency causes metabolic disorders of calcium phosphorus, leading to hysteria in the form of cartilage of the skull, skull, ribs, chicken chest and lower limb malformations. 4. Psychological impact: Long-term indigestion can lead to a vicious circle of children suffering from hunger and reduced food intake. This not only exacerbates the problem of nutritional under-ingestion, but may also indirectly interfere with the normal growth and development rhythms of children in situations such as sleep stress and anxiety.
1. Adapting the diet: Parents should have a reasonable mix of their children ‘ s diet to avoid overfeeding or giving indigestionable food. Increased intake of vegetables, fruit, whole-eat food and reduced intake of fried and sugary food. 2. Cultivation of good eating habits: encouragement of regular meals for children and prevention of severe eating. Parents can lead by example and set a good example for their diet. 3. Increased exercise: Appropriate exercise can promote gastrointestinal creeping and improve digestive functions. Parents can encourage more children to participate in outdoor activities such as running, jumping ropes, etc. 4. Maintaining a good emotional state: The emotional state also has an important effect on the digestive function. Parents should take care of the emotional changes of their children, provide timely care and comfort, and avoid their chronic stress and anxiety. 5. Medical treatment: If indigestion continues unabated or is accompanied by other abnormal conditions, such as abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhoea, etc., parents should bring their children to medical care, relevant examinations and treatment.
In general, indigestion has many and far-reaching effects on the child ‘ s growth and development. Parents should give high priority to this issue, identify the causes and respond effectively and in a timely manner to create good conditions for the healthy development of their children.
