What kind of chicken is good for confinement?
Some people say that you should eat hens instead of cocks in confinement. Eating hens is helpful to the physical recovery of confinement women. Is that really the case?
Actually, this is a misunderstanding. The decrease of estrogen and progesterone levels after delivery is beneficial to the formation of milk. However, the ovaries and egg coats of hens contain a certain amount of estrogen, which will weaken the efficacy of prolactin and thus affect milk secretion. Cock testicles contain androgens, which can fight estrogen. If you stew the cock and testicles together, it will undoubtedly promote milk secretion. Moreover, the cock has less fat, so pregnant women are not easy to gain weight, which helps to keep a good figure during lactation and is not easy to cause infantile diarrhea.
In addition, many people will eat spicy fried chicken when they are in confinement. Sesame chicken has always been the staple food of confinement, especially in the south. It is a very nutritious delicious food, which can not only replenish qi and blood, nourish the weak body, but also strengthen the spleen and stimulate appetite. So that the body can recover as soon as possible. But if you eat spicy chicken with incorrect cooking methods, it may not help.
Correct practice of sesame chicken:
Sesame oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, which can be converted into prostaglandin after entering the human body. Prostaglandin can promote uterine contraction and lochia discharge, help the uterus recover as soon as possible, and at the same time, it also has the function of softening stool and avoiding the suffering of constipation of parturient. At the same time, sesame oil also contains a lot of essential amino acids, which really has a good nourishing effect on the recovery of women who have lost blood.
Sesame fried chicken is a good tonic for parturient, especially for those who are weak after delivery. However, we should pay attention to the following points:
1, the amount of sesame oil should not be too much, just 1-2 spoonfuls each time.
2, sesame oil should not be cooked for a long time, should be added after cooking the soup to avoid oxidation and increase free radicals.
3, sesame chicken is best not to add wine, so as to avoid alcohol entering breast milk. The effect of alcohol is just the opposite of sesame oil, which not only inhibits uterine contraction, but also promotes vasodilation and increases vaginal bleeding.
4, sesame chicken can not be overnourished. Nowadays, parturients generally exercise less and the vitality of various organs in the body is low. If you nourish and supplement sesame oil chicken after delivery, you will consume a lot of oil. This is not very good for pregnant women who are physically weak, but it is easy to cause overnutrition and affect weight loss in the future.
5, in the midsummer season, there is no need to let mom eat spicy chicken. Now, besides sesame chicken, there are many good ways to nourish your body.
