What are the dietary taboos during confinement?

The confinement period is the period right after giving birth, and the body is very weak during this period. Therefore, mothers should pay special attention during this period, take good care of their bodies, and avoid postpartum diseases in the future. What are the dietary taboos for mothers during the confinement period? Next, I will tell mothers about the foods that I know are taboo during confinement. I hope it can help everyone. Let’s take a look at the following content to understand the issue of what foods are taboo during confinement.

1. Do not eat raw or cold food

The mother's body will become very weak after giving birth. Raw and cold food is not easy to absorb, which can easily affect the mother's postpartum recovery. At the same time, after giving birth, the mother will feed the baby with breast milk. If a mother eats raw or cold food, it will affect the baby's stomach and intestines through breast milk and damage the baby's health.

2. Do not eat salt and condiments

During pregnancy, a woman's body produces a lot of water due to various factors, which needs to be slowly excreted from the body after giving birth. During the confinement period, if you eat food that is too salty or contains seasonings, it will hinder the discharge of water from the body. If a young mother wants to restore her original slim figure after giving birth, she must remember to drink less water as much as possible in the first week after giving birth to achieve the purpose of "promoting diuresis and reducing swelling". Otherwise, it will be a bit difficult to lose weight later.

3. Don’t eat spicy or greasy food

Within one week after delivery, the food should mainly consist of soft rice, egg soup, etc. It is best not to eat spicy, warm and dry foods, as well as greasy foods such as garlic, wine, and chili peppers during the confinement period, otherwise symptoms such as mouth ulcers, hemorrhoids, etc. will occur, and the baby's internal heat will be aggravated through breast milk.

4 During the confinement period, the diet should follow the four principles of refined, mixed, thin and soft, with proper combination of meat and vegetables and comprehensive and balanced nutrition. Women who want to lose weight after giving birth can do appropriate exercise half a month after giving birth to eliminate excess fat in the waist and abdomen.

The above is what I know about the dietary taboos during confinement. These things are absolutely not allowed to be eaten by mothers during confinement, otherwise they will suffer from confinement diseases. No matter how much mothers want to eat them, they cannot eat them. There are also many foods that can be eaten, so mothers must adjust themselves. Mothers must be cautious during confinement.
