Yam and Lotus Seed Porridge

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, children's spleen is often insufficient, and they are more likely to suffer from diarrhea due to the "raid" of dampness, turbidity and coldness when the weather changes. It is recommended that parents consciously feed their children some spleen and stomach nourishing foods in their daily diet, such as using yam, hawthorn, and coix seed to make soup or porridge. For children who are already ill, the diet should be mainly light liquid or semi-liquid food, and the children should be encouraged to drink more rice water with salt to maintain sufficient body fluids to prevent dehydration.
