Q. My child is a severe picky eater and has a small appetite, so they're not growing.

A.

Nutritional imbalance is the biggest enemy of growth. Forcing them to eat makes the meal itself a source of stress, which further impairs digestion. The priority is to improve spleen and stomach function to bring back their appetite.

📝 Detailed Answer

밥이 보약이라는 말은 진리입니다.

  • 소화기 치료: 뱃골을 늘려주는 한약으로 먹는 양을 자연스럽게 늘립니다.
  • 조리법: 아이가 싫어하는 채소는 다지거나 갈아서 요리해 거부감을 줄여주세요.
  • 간식: 식사 전 2시간은 공복을 유지해야 밥을 잘 먹습니다. 달콤한 간식은 금물!
