Autumn air evaporates quickly, and the skin is prone to dryness, peeling, and itchy throat. This is what traditional Chinese medicine calls "autumn dryness". How can we keep our babies away from autumn dryness? Let's take a look at the following points together with the editor!
What should we do?
1. Drink soup frequently
Children are playing happily, and suddenly their nose starts bleeding. This is the most powerful scene that parents can feel the impact of autumn dryness on their babies.
Therefore, parents should give their babies more water to drink, consume fresh green leafy vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin C and B vitamins, and regularly make some soups for their babies to drink. For example, pear fig lean meat soup, papaya and snow fungus sweet soup, carrot and water chestnut juice, etc.
2. Nourish yin and moisturize the skin
The weather is dry, and the human skin also needs moisturization. Although the baby's skin looks delicate, it is thinner than that of adults, and it loses moisture quickly. Every autumn, many children feel that their skin is dry and itchy, and they often unconsciously scratch it, resulting in white marks, rashes, and even skin damage, cracking, and itching.
Therefore, after bathing, dry the body with a towel and quickly apply moisturizer to lock in the skin's moisture and prevent rapid evaporation. Apply a little more on exposed skin areas;
At the same time, pay attention to dressing your child in pure cotton underwear and avoid wearing fiber clothing to prevent static electricity from occurring when the skin rubs against the clothing;
If the fingers are peeling, apply hand cream to the child's hands. Apply cod liver oil ointment to the peeling areas. When washing hands, try to use less hand soap and other chemical products.
3. Generate fluids to moisten the body
When autumn dryness strikes, it not only damages the skin and mucous membranes of the human body but also causes dryness and heat in the intestines, loss of body fluids, slowing down intestinal peristalsis, and difficult defecation, especially for children who do not drink enough water normally.
In addition, many children prefer to eat fried and hot foods and a lot of meat, and they do not like to eat fruits and vegetables rich in dietary fiber. This is also one of the main reasons for children's constipation.
In general, it is not recommended for parents to use laxatives for their babies at will. The main method is to generate fluids to moisten the body and improve the baby's constipation condition. In addition to replenishing water, drinking honey water and increasing the intake of fruits, sweet potatoes, and mustard greens, parents should also increase the baby's exercise and exercise the abdominal muscles to increase intestinal peristalsis.
The following fruits help babies stay away from autumn dryness
In autumn, the weather is dry, and improper diet can easily lead to symptoms of fever, such as dry and cracked lips, nosebleeds, and dry skin. Therefore, mothers should pay attention to giving their babies more fruits and vegetables that moisturize and generate fluids, clear heat and detoxify, and aid digestion.
Such as carrots, winter melon, snow fungus, lotus root, bananas, grapefruits, sugarcane, persimmons, etc., and also pay attention to eating less spicy foods such as onions, ginger, garlic, and chili.
