What should be paid attention to in daily diet for anorexia?

Patient's question:

Because of "galactocele," I once consulted a traditional Chinese medicine doctor and adjusted my condition for about 6 months, which slightly improved. Recently, due to a kindergarten physical examination, my weight and height did not meet the standards, so I went to the traditional Chinese medicine doctor again for treatment. The doctor said it was a pediatric anorexia caused by a weak spleen and stomach.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, children have problems with picky eating, poor appetite, and dislike for certain foods, as well as factors such as dietary habits, environmental influences, and deficiencies in trace elements. A child's playfulness and initiative can affect their eating habits, so it is important to educate them appropriately, encourage moderate play, and avoid excessive play that may lead to obsession or forcing them to eat too much. The color, aroma, and taste of food should be made appealing to stimulate their appetite. Snacks or puffed and fried foods should not be allowed for children regularly to avoid affecting their intake of main meals. Appropriate zinc supplementation can help enhance the sensitivity of taste buds, thereby increasing appetite.
