At this time, you must not cover your sweat, but should wipe your body in time and change clothes diligently to prevent colds. Do not catch a cold due to excessive sweating. It is recommended to take a bath in time, but when taking a bath, you can only sponge bath at first, and gradually change to shower, and do not take a tub bath.

Getting out of bed too early and moving around for a long time can easily damage bones and tendons and cause body aches.

2. Peach is one of the best fresh fruits during the confinement period. It can protect the lungs, promote digestion, nourish the female body and help defecation. However, the total amount of intake should be controlled, and only 1-2 can be taken with meals per day, otherwise it will cause abdominal bloating and discomfort.

Women during the confinement period should not only pay attention to not eating too much cold food in their diet, but also pay attention to not taking a bath too early. They should start with a sponge bath and then gradually start a shower. At the same time, keep the surrounding area free of ventilation to prevent themselves and their newborn babies from catching a cold. During this period, women should try to choose comfortable and soft shoes and clothes, neither too thick nor too thin.
