Questions about children's appetite are a serious concern for parents. Doctors note that children either eat nothing but their favorite dish or choose something specific.
Be that as it may, there are three reasons that explain this behavior.
In an interview with the publication “ Klops ”, nutritionist Marina Stepanenko explained why the child eats poorly.
Digestive problems
Children under seven years of age have a poorly developed enzymatic system and, due to their age, they cannot explain what food causes them discomfort or heaviness in the stomach.
Because of this, they refuse any food.
Parents are advised to give their children papaya-based plant enzymes and also add vegetables to their diet – zucchini, broccoli or carrots.
Parasites
The next reason is helminthiasis, which manifests itself with symptoms such as saliva on the pillow during sleep, grinding of teeth, and skin rashes.
Once a year, you should take antiparasitic drugs with bitter herbs, but it is important to remember that not all tests show the presence of parasites.
Gallbladder problems
If children refuse to eat fatty foods, butter and even eggs, then problems with the gallbladder should not be ruled out.
You can find out by undergoing an ultrasound.
The problem can be solved with the help of twisting exercises, drinking artichoke, mint tea or plain water at a rate of 30 ml per 1 kilogram of the child’s weight.
