If children want to be safe, the phrase "three points of hunger and cold" comes from Wan Mizhai, a medical book in Ming Dynasty. Many people object to this statement, thinking that this is because the ancients comforted themselves because of low production conditions and poor life. In fact, parenting experts agree with this sentence.
The baby is full of yang, has a strong metabolism and needs relatively more nutrition, but it also has a great burden on the gastrointestinal tract. If you eat too much every day, you will hurt your food. Eating food will accumulate heat, which will damage yin, lead to imbalance between yin and yang in the body and make it easy to get sick. Similarly, if you wear too much, the internal heat will come from you. If you sweat too much, your pores will always be open, and you will easily catch a cold.
The literal meaning of "three points hungry" seems to mean that children can only eat 7-8 points full and keep 3 points hungry. In fact, it refers to a dietary principle to remind parents not to let their children overeat. If children often overeat, it is easy to cause food stagnation in the digestive system and increase the burden on the digestive system. Food that cannot be digested in time may also cause food accumulation.
"Three-point cold" means that children can't wear too much and too warm. Children are lively and active by nature, with fast metabolism and large activity. Children produce heat faster than adults. Children who wear too much and are too warm will make it difficult for them to dissipate heat, sweat too much, and get their close-fitting clothes wet. In this case, they are more likely to catch a cold when they are blown by cold air.
