What should women pay attention to in their diet after giving birth?

Pregnant women who have undergone cesarean section need to pay attention to their diet after the operation. This can ensure a good recovery of the pregnant woman after the operation and avoid dangerous situations in the female body caused by cesarean section. In particular, attention should be paid to eating habits after cesarean section to avoid dangers caused by dietary problems. So what should you pay attention to in your diet after cesarean section? Well, let me introduce it to you below.

The diet within one week after a caesarean section should be light and nutritious. Rice porridge, eggs, noodles, etc. are the best diet within one week after a caesarean section. In terms of diet, you should avoid cold and spicy foods, avoid taking too much tonic food, and eat more vegetables and fruits.

Because of the wound caused by cesarean section, the intra-abdominal pressure suddenly decreases after delivery, the abdominal muscles relax, the intestinal peristalsis slows down, and there is a tendency to constipation. The dietary arrangements should be different from those for natural delivery. Generally speaking, the most needed nutrients in the wound healing process include: protein, amino acids, vitamins, carbohydrates, etc.

Zinc: Zinc deficiency can reduce the function of fibroblasts. Zinc is mainly found in foods such as fungus and kelp.

Fats: A lack of lipids can lead to impaired wound healing. Fish oil is rich in fatty acids, has anti-inflammatory effects, and is beneficial for wound healing.

Glucose: Sugar is the main energy provider for the human body, and supplying adequate energy is essential for wound healing. During the wound healing period, you can eat more fruits rich in sugar, which can not only increase the sugar content but also provide sufficient vitamins.

Protein: Increasing protein in the diet can promote wound healing and reduce the chance of infection. Foods rich in protein include various lean meats, milk, eggs, etc.

Vitamin A: can promote wound healing. It is mainly found in foods such as fish oil, carrots, and tomatoes.

Vitamin C: can promote wound healing. It exists in various vegetables and fruits, and dates and peppers are treasure troves of vitamin C.

Eggs have high nutritional value and are rich in nutrients such as protein, fat, lecithin, yolk, calcium, iron and vitamin A. The fat is easily digested and absorbed by the human body. Lecithin and yolk play an important role in maintaining the health of the nervous system. They are especially suitable for postpartum women to eat. You can eat boiled eggs, fried eggs, scrambled eggs, egg soup or egg custard.

But the more eggs you eat, the better. Some new mothers eat more than a dozen eggs a day. Not only can they not be absorbed, but it will also affect the body's intake of other nutrients. Eating 3 to 4 eggs a day is enough. It is best not to eat eggs, especially within a few hours after delivery, because during the delivery process, great physical energy is consumed, sweating is excessive, body fluids are insufficient, and the digestive ability also decreases. If you eat eggs immediately after giving birth, they will be difficult to digest and will increase the burden on your gastrointestinal tract.

The above is my opinion on this issue. Pregnant women who have undergone cesarean section need to pay attention to their physical safety during postoperative recovery to avoid wound infection. In particular, they need to pay attention to dietary issues that may put the patient in danger. Finally, I wish all women who have given birth a speedy recovery.
