Poor appetite is a very annoying problem. When faced with delicious dishes but have no appetite to eat, it not only makes you upset, but also makes your parents worried. Long-term poor appetite will greatly affect people's health, so you must find out the cause of poor appetite. Today I will share with you some reasons that cause poor appetite.

1. Stomach Yin Deficiency

The main symptoms of stomach yin deficiency are that you get hungry faster than ordinary people but don't have as good an appetite as ordinary people, there is often a burning sensation in the stomach, you feel dry mouth and tongue even if you drink water frequently, your saliva is sticky, your tongue is bright red (a normal person's tongue is pink), you often have bad breath even if you brush your teeth diligently, and you often have dry stools or constipation. If you find yourself having these symptoms, in addition to Chinese medicine conditioning, you can also eat more pears, white fungus, loquat, wheat, mung beans and duck meat, etc. These foods are cool in nature and can nourish yin and produce body fluid. Never eat spicy foods, oranges, lychees, beef, mutton, and dog meat, as these are hot foods and will aggravate your symptoms.

2. Deficiency of stomach yang

The main symptoms of stomach yang deficiency are that you feel your stomach is filled with gas after eating a small amount of food, and then you lose your appetite. There are often food residues in your stool. You often feel cold pain in your stomach, which can be relieved by pressing the stomach hard, eating food or warming the stomach. You rarely feel thirsty even if you drink water. Your tongue is a little white or swollen, and your hands and feet are cold. If you have these symptoms, in addition to Chinese medicine conditioning, you can also eat dates, lychees, beef, mutton, dog meat, onions, garlic, etc. for a long time and slowly. They are warm foods and can warm and replenish the yang energy. Never eat cold foods, as they will aggravate your condition, but also don't eat chili peppers, as you may feel weak and cannot be replenished.

3. Spleen Yin Deficiency

The main symptoms of spleen yin deficiency are similar to those of stomach yin deficiency, but there are also differences. Spleen yin deficiency causes burning pain in the spleen, while stomach yin deficiency causes burning pain in the stomach. Of course, because the spleen and stomach are closely adjacent, sometimes stomach yin deficiency will lead to spleen yin deficiency, and the symptoms will be mixed and difficult to distinguish. The treatment for spleen yin deficiency is through Chinese medicine conditioning, supplemented by dietary supplements of cool and cold foods.

4. Spleen Yang Deficiency

The main symptoms of spleen yang deficiency are similar to those of stomach yang deficiency, but the difference is that the cold and pain sensation of spleen yang deficiency occurs in the spleen, which is prone to diarrhea, while stomach yang deficiency will not cause diarrhea, but will cause belching. The treatment for spleen yang deficiency is also through Chinese medicine, supplemented by warm and tonic foods, and maintaining regular living habits.

5. Irregular diet

The human body has its own biological clock, and the brain and stomach will have a plan for when to eat. However, if you have irregular meals and do not have a fixed biological clock, and you eat suddenly, your stomach and intestines are not ready yet, the food that should be digested has not been digested, and the hunger information that should be fed back to the brain has not been fed back, then naturally you will have no appetite. Therefore, if you want to increase your appetite, you must establish fixed meal times.
