Can I eat snacks after having an abortion?

Many women want to eat snacks after having an abortion, but they don’t know if they can eat snacks. In fact, you can eat snacks after an abortion, but you need to be careful not to eat cold or spicy foods, as this will have a certain impact on women's physical recovery and health. Here are some foods you can eat after miscarriage!

1. Banana

Bananas contain a lot of fiber and iron, which have the effects of laxative and blood tonic. Most mothers rest in bed, have poor gastrointestinal motility, and often suffer from constipation. In addition, women lose a lot of blood after childbirth, so they need blood supplements, and iron is one of the main raw materials for blood production. Therefore, mothers can prevent postpartum constipation and anemia by eating more bananas. If the mother consumes adequate iron, her breast milk will also contain a lot of iron, which can also help prevent anemia in the baby.

2. Oranges

Oranges contain a lot of vitamin C and calcium. Vitamin C can enhance the elasticity and toughness of blood vessel walls and prevent bleeding. The mother's endometrium has a large wound and bleeds a lot. If she eats some oranges, she can prevent further bleeding after delivery. Calcium is an important component of the baby's bones and teeth. If the mother eats some oranges properly, the calcium can be provided to the baby through the mother's breast milk, which can promote the growth of the baby's teeth and bones. In addition, orange seeds and orange peels have the effect of promoting lactation.

3. Hawthorn

Hawthorn contains a large amount of hawthorn acid and citric acid, which can promote salivation and quench thirst, disperse blood stasis and promote blood circulation. Mothers expend a lot of physical energy when giving birth, and often suffer from loss of appetite, dry mouth, and reduced food intake after delivery. Eating some hawthorn can increase appetite, aid digestion, and is beneficial to physical recovery and feeding the baby. In addition, hawthorn has the effect of dispersing blood stasis and activating blood circulation, which can discharge blood stasis in the uterus and relieve abdominal pain.

4. Longan

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that longan is sweet, mild, non-toxic, and enters the spleen and heart meridians. It is a good fruit for nourishing blood and benefiting the spleen. Pregnant women with weak constitutions can eat some fresh longan or dried longan meat appropriately, which can not only replenish the qi of the spleen and stomach, but also replenish the insufficient blood of the heart.

5. Red dates

Red dates contain the most vitamin C, and also contain large amounts of glucose and protein. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that red dates are the best tonic among fruits. They have the effects of nourishing the spleen and stomach, replenishing qi and promoting body fluid, regulating blood, and resolving all poisons. They are especially suitable for postpartum women with weak spleen and stomach and insufficient qi and blood.
