If we can seize the opportunity of childbirth to adjust our body shape, or treat some physical symptoms before delivery, and have a correct confinement, good nutrition and adequate rest will bring us good health in the next few years. Xie Mingxian, the attending physician of Chinese Medicine Department in Kunming Campus of Linsen Chinese Medicine Department of Taipei United Hospital, said that women's physiological state is different in different periods after delivery, so their diet and drug care are also different, and postpartum care can be divided into three stages.
The first stage: the lightweight anti-inflammatory maternal has just given birth to a child. Because the wound is still healing, you should eat lightly and avoid overeating spicy and dry food to avoid inflammation of the wound. "Because of the special physiological needs of pregnant women, it is necessary to keep water in the body to increase blood supply. Therefore, before the postpartum physiology returns to normal physiology, the body is prone to water accumulation and needs to limit drinking water. " Xie Mingxian pointed out that it is not completely inedible, but it can be limited to 1 000.
In addition, Eucommia ulmoides boiling water can be used instead of boiling water to reduce the chance of edema. Generally, women need about 2000 water a day, and protein water such as chicken soup, fish soup and sparerib soup needs to be supplemented if the water is insufficient.
Xie Mingxian mentioned that starting from 5-7 days of natural delivery and 7- 10 days of caesarean section, you can start taking 7 pieces of biochemical soup to promote the discharge of lochia. According to the statistics of clinical research, Shenghua Decoction can obviously reduce puerperal fever and infection, make the uterus supply enough blood, improve uterine contraction, even if it slightly damages the inner wall of the uterus, it can also help repair and reduce polyps and adhesions in the uterus in the future. Usually, the uterine contraction is not obvious when the first child eats biochemical soup. Generally, after eating for 30 minutes, the uterus will contract slightly and promote milk secretion.
The second stage: start cooking with sesame oil. "After 1 week recovery after delivery, the body has passed a small recovery stage and the wound is gradually repaired. At this time, you can make a moderate supplement in your diet. " Xie Mingxian said that you can start to eat sesame oil and stir-fry in the second week without alcohol. Because it is not a big tonic, you can fry kidney, lean meat, pork liver, eggs and red pheasants.
Sesame oil can promote uterine contraction, and the oil inside can moisten intestines and improve defecation problems. If it is hot and dry, when cooking sesame oil vegetables, don't explode ginger or use wine, because sesame oil vegetables are considered as hot and dry food mainly because the ingredients are hot together.
Traditional Chinese medicine mainly supplements blood, supplemented by a little qi. You can use Danggui Buxue Decoction, a famous Chinese medicine prescription. In addition, the ingredients of Shen Si Decoction can be added to medicinal materials or diet to nourish the spleen and stomach, promote diuresis and eliminate dampness, help digestion and absorption, and reduce the formation of edema.
Stage 3: Rice wine cooking "big tonic" Xie Mingxian pointed out that after 2-3 weeks of rest and conditioning after production, the body has reached the stage of big tonic, and rice wine cooking can enter the market at this time. Generally, it is produced naturally after 7 days with wine, and can only be eaten by caesarean section after 14 days.
After delivery 14 days, you can start eating spicy fried chicken. Because this dish contains alcohol, it belongs to "dry" food in the concept of oriental food supplement and is not suitable for early postpartum consumption. Eat on average 15 days from postpartum to the end of confinement. For hot and dry mothers, reduce the proportion of wine and sesame oil.
Xie Mingxian suggested that at this time, Chinese medicine is mainly based on prescriptions that tonify qi and blood, such as "Shiquan Dabu Decoction". Generally, it should be taken three times, and then cooked with fish or black-bone chicken, which can be eaten alternately with sesame oil chicken. Its main function is to help the recovery of ovaries and pelvis, tonify kidney and strengthen tendons.
