How to nourish pregnant women who sweat a lot

After giving birth, some women often sweat a lot for no apparent reason. Why is this? Experts explain that this is because women have just given birth and have consumed too much energy, which is caused by qi deficiency, and combined with the excretion function of the skin, so postpartum women sweat profusely. Maternal sweating is caused by qi deficiency, so how should these new mothers supplement their nutrition? Next, let’s talk about how to supplement diet for postpartum women who sweat.

Two types of women who sweat easily after childbirth

1. Postpartum women with Qi deficiency: They are generally afraid of wind and cold, especially after sweating, and often catch colds. They often feel dizzy, tired and weak, and short of breath. Pregnant women with Qi deficiency are more likely to experience spontaneous sweating.

2. Postpartum women with Yin deficiency: Although they are generally afraid of wind, they dislike heat even more. They feel hot all over their body, in the palms and soles of their hands and feet, and tend to feel dizzy, anxious, irritable, etc. Pregnant women with Yin deficiency are more likely to experience night sweats.

Excessive sweating after childbirth requires calcium deficiency prevention

Everyone knows that sweat contains a lot of sodium chloride, so salt should be supplemented when sweating a lot, but some people have overlooked the need to supplement calcium after sweating.

According to research, every 1000 ml of sweat contains 1 mg of calcium. Normally, only 15 mg of calcium is lost in sweat every day, which is not very significant. However, people who work in high temperature environments in summer lose more than 100 mg of calcium in sweat per hour. This amount accounts for almost 30% of the total calcium excretion, which can easily lead to hypocalcemia, manifested as cramps in the hands and feet, muscle twitches. Long-term calcium deficiency can cause adults to suffer from rickets, easy fractures, and frequent back and leg pain, especially for postpartum women, because the fetus takes in a lot of calcium during pregnancy.

In order to prevent hypocalcemia after sweating, you should take in enough calcium in your life. Foods rich in calcium include milk, dairy products, green leafy vegetables, fish, seafood and other foods. Vitamin D promotes calcium absorption. Foods rich in vitamin D include cod liver oil, animal liver, egg yolk, etc. Increasing sunlight exposure can also increase vitamin D levels in the body.
