What should you eat to replenish blood and qi during confinement?

After giving birth, women need to stay in confinement because their physical condition is relatively weak, especially because they have consumed a lot of energy. Therefore, they should replenish blood and qi, mainly through diet adjustment. So during the confinement period, if you want to replenish blood and qi, what should you eat more of to be more effective? The editor suggests that you can try the following foods.

One of the confinement diet recipes that replenishes both blood and energy is boiled eggs with black glutinous rice wine and brown sugar.

This recipe is very simple to make and the ingredients are very convenient and common. This dish requires 1 egg, 2 spoons of dark glutinous rice wine, and an appropriate amount of brown sugar. The steps are as follows: first find a clay pot, then pour 2 spoons of black glutinous rice wine into the clay pot, and then fill a bowl with water and add it in. After the water and wine boil, wait for about 10 minutes, then you can break the eggs, peel them, add them to the pot and cook together, then add an appropriate amount of brown sugar, and then turn off the heat when the brown sugar is fully dissolved, and then you can eat it.

This dish of boiled eggs with black glutinous rice wine and brown sugar can replenish blood and qi for postpartum women, and has the effect of dispelling cold and removing blood stasis. It can be eaten by postpartum women of all constitutions. However, the mother should not drink brown sugar water for too long. It is enough to drink it for 10 days, so as not to increase bloody lochia. Moreover, drinking too much brown sugar water in summer will increase sweating in the mother, which may cause salt deficiency in the body.

Postpartum diet to replenish blood and Qi - crucian carp and tofu soup.

I believe many women who have just given birth are familiar with this dish. Crucian carp is rich in nutrients, and tofu contains protein, fat, carbohydrates, calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamins, vitamin B niacin, heat-producing nutrients and so on. Crucian carp is not only rich in nutrients, but also has a lactation effect. Paired with tofu, it can nourish qi and blood, strengthen the spleen and relieve fullness. Tofu is also rich in nutrients and high in protein, which can promote postpartum recovery and milk secretion.

During the confinement period, the editor needs to add that you should not only pay attention to diet regulation to replenish qi and blood, but also pay attention to avoiding infection with colds. Because during the breastfeeding period, the child needs to be supplemented with sufficient milk. Once the mother has problems or is infected with colds, she will not be able to breastfeed the child immediately. It is easy for the child to be infected with colds, so you must pay more attention to avoid confinement diseases.
