Does everyone drink moon water after childbirth? Many postpartum mothers still have a vague concept of moon water. Is it necessary to drink moon water for confinement? What are the benefits of drinking moon water? How to drink moon water?
First, lunar water has a wide range of uses.
Moon water can not only be drunk directly, but also be used to make moon meal. You can cook, make soup and cook with moon water. Cooking vegetables in hot months can dispel the coldness of vegetables.
Second, moon water can't completely replace drinking water.
Although the effect of moon water is outstanding, it is easy to cause maternal fire due to its internal heat. For pregnant women who are already hot, it is better to drink less moon water. Because of the hot water in the second month, drinking it may increase the risk of lochia and postpartum hemorrhage. Therefore, drinking moon water should be enough, and it is best to consult a doctor before drinking. Wang, director of the Nutrition Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Tsinghua University, mentioned that the parturient consumes a lot of blood during childbirth, especially in love sweating, while during confinement, according to traditional habits, the bedroom is generally warmer, so that the parturient is even more love sweating. If you don't pay attention to hydration at this time, the mother will be short of water. Moon water is also rice wine water. Drinking some after delivery can enrich blood and promote qi circulation, and avoid deficiency of both qi and blood after delivery. However, because this kind of water is hot, it is obviously unscientific to completely replace drinking water, and drinking too much will lead to getting angry. It is recommended to keep normal drinking water during the second month, and do not use "moon water" instead of normal drinking water.
Third, postpartum slimming still needs to cooperate with exercise.
Many people think that the recovery of Xiao S is due to Yuezishui, but I'm afraid this is not the case. Postpartum slimming also requires exercise and a balanced diet. From the analysis of modern nutritional value, rice is more easily absorbed by human body after fermentation, and the newly generated substances after fermentation are beneficial to human body. But it doesn't mean you can lose weight by drinking rice wine. Slimming still depends on moderate postpartum exercise. Yi Zhu, an associate professor at the College of Food Science and Nutritional Engineering of China Agricultural University, explained the embryonic form of lunar water.
How long can you eliminate edema after delivery? It's been as long as October. When the baby is born, it is a moment of great joy and happiness for the new mother, but at the same time, some small problems also follow. Postpartum edema is one of the annoying problems. With edema, the body is not light and fast, but also fat. The new mother might as well try to drain her body, get rid of useless water and go into battle lightly.

Dietary principles that should be paid attention to in eliminating edema: Dietary methods for the second month: Dietary methods are very important to meet the nutritional needs of pregnant women for the second month. Generally speaking, we should pay attention to the following points:
1, eat less and eat more: because my mother has just given birth to a baby, her gastrointestinal function is weakened and her peristalsis is slow. If she eats too much at a time, it will increase the burden on her stomach and weaken her stomach function. In the next month, it is advisable to eat 5-6 times a day.
2, dry and dilute collocation: the soup in food is both nutritious and can increase appetite, while drinking water alone will dilute gastric juice and reduce appetite. Besides soup, you can also drink fruit juice, milk and so on. Therefore, generally speaking, in the second month, you should drink more nutritious drinks such as nutritious milk soup and lean every meal.
3. Vegetarian collocation: From a nutritional point of view, the types and quantities of nutrients contained in different foods are different, and the nutrients needed by the human body are diverse. In order to avoid partial eclipse, we should pay attention to vegetarian diet.
The general habit of the second month is to eat chicken, fish, eggs and meat. Eating too much meat is not conducive to gastrointestinal peristalsis, affecting digestion and reducing appetite. Vegetarian food contains a lot of cellulose, which can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, promote digestion and prevent constipation. Therefore, the combination of meat and vegetable can not only ensure the balanced intake of nutrition, but also prevent the occurrence of diseases.
4, less salt to facilitate drainage: In fact, pregnant women have 40% more water in their bodies at the end of pregnancy than before pregnancy, and it takes about a few weeks to metabolize all excess water in their bodies after delivery; Generally, there will be diuresis for a period of time after delivery, and it is easy to sweat and urinate after delivery and discharge excess water.
The diet of confinement should be light and try not to add salt, because eating too much salt will leave water in the body.
Drink warm water instead of ice water. Because cold water can cause gastrointestinal contraction, affect the absorption of supplements, or make the meridians and qi and blood run poorly, leading to body aches.
