How to prepare confinement meals

Women need to stay in confinement after giving birth. Confinement is actually the puerperium, which is generally between 30 and 40 days after giving birth. If you don't pay attention to confinement, it will lead to many sequelae, which will directly affect women's health. The most important thing during confinement is diet, and you must choose a reasonable nutritional combination. So how to make a good confinement meal?

First, how to prepare good confinement meals? The first week after delivery: metabolic detoxification stage. This is the golden period for new mothers to discharge lochia. Prenatal edema and excess body water will also be discharged at this time. It is recommended to use pork liver as the staple food for replenishing qi and nourishing blood, about 100 grams per day is best. It is not advisable for new mothers to drink too much chicken soup, pigeon soup, etc. as they are not easily absorbed.

Second, the second week after delivery: the stage of contracting internal organs (conditioning the body). In the second week, the focus is on strengthening bones and the functions of the waist and kidneys, and restoring the pelvis. Therefore, you can eat more sesame oil pork kidneys, which can help relieve bone pain in the coccyx and other parts of the body. In addition to eating less salt, you should also avoid eating foods with high salt content such as pickles.

Third, the third and fourth weeks after delivery: the nourishing and supplementing stage. From the third week to one month, everything that needs to be discharged has been discharged and you can start to nourish your body. Always remember that sesame oil chicken can only be absorbed by the body after toxins are eliminated, otherwise it will accumulate in the body and become excess fat.

Fourth, when stir-frying, first heat the pan and then pour in cold oil. When the oil is 80% cooked, add the vegetables into the pan and stir-fry. It’s best not to wait until the oil starts smoking before adding the vegetables. Boiling beef: In order to make the beef stew faster and more tender, add a handful of tea leaves (about the amount to make a pot of tea, wrapped in gauze) and cook together. The meat will become tender quickly and taste delicious. Adding a teaspoon of vinegar when cooking bone soup can dissolve the phosphorus and calcium in the bones into the soup and preserve the vitamins in the soup. When cooking beef and other tough meats and game birds, add a little vinegar to tenderize them. When cooking meat broth or pork ribs soup, add a few pieces of fresh orange peel. It will not only taste delicious but also reduce the greasiness.
