Maternal Health Handbook

Pregnant women do not pay much attention to their own physical health, and all their attention is focused on their babies. In fact, their bodies also need good care during the confinement period. In terms of diet, they should pay attention to taking in some foods that can help heal wounds, and also pay attention to moisturizing their skin. When their skin is too dry, they should do a good job of health care.

1. Nutrition

Moisturize the skin If your skin is very dry, you can consume foods rich in unsaturated fatty acids or linoleic acid, such as vegetables and fish. This is not only good for your own health and the development of the fetus, but also a good way to nourish the skin.

2. Take good care of sensitive skin

When using moisturizing lotion on your face, it is recommended that you massage your facial skin a few more times than usual, using small circular motions. In addition, try to avoid using oily lotions, scrubs, or cleansers containing fragrances or alcohol to clean your face, because these cleaning products will more or less irritate skin that is particularly sensitive due to pregnancy.

3. Choose the right body wash

Bathing with plain water is the safest and most reliable, and it will not cause any adverse reactions to the skin, but excessive bathing will irritate your skin. Because of pregnancy, your skin becomes more delicate, so you should pay special attention when bathing.

4. Avoid prolonged ultraviolet rays

Sun protection is also a must in winter. In addition, during pregnancy, skin melanin is more active, so you should try to avoid prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays.

5. Choose the right toothpaste for pregnant women

Choosing Yunkang toothpaste specially for pregnant women during pregnancy can reduce gum bleeding during pregnancy and ensure oral health. [9]

Honey can promote digestion and absorption, increase appetite, calm and promote sleep, and improve the body's resistance. It has a positive effect on promoting the growth and development of infants and young children. Honey contains almost all the nutrients found in vegetables. Drinking 3-4 tablespoons of honey every day in winter can not only supplement nutrition but also ensure smooth bowel movements.

Honey is also a natural beauty product. As a moisturizer, regular external application has a direct nutritional effect on the epidermis and dermis of the skin, promoting cell regeneration and enhancing the skin's metabolic capacity.
