1. Should we avoid eating cold fruits and vegetables? Contains crude fiber to help with bowel movements

There is a saying among the people: "Before giving birth, you are like a ball of fire, and after giving birth, you are like a piece of ice." Therefore, mothers cannot eat various cold things during the confinement period, otherwise they will suffer from "confinement disease." Vegetables and fruits are "cold things", so they must be strictly avoided.

Explanation: In fact, most mothers move less during the confinement period, and their intestinal motility is not as good as usual. Foods high in crude fiber such as vegetables and fruits can help with bowel movements. As long as the vegetables are cooked and you eat less cold vegetables such as bitter melon, there is basically no problem. Moreover, fruits and vegetables contain a large amount of vitamins essential to the human body, which cannot be supplemented by eating any amount of meat. Postpartum women sweat easily and have a high metabolism. Drinking more water can prevent the loss of water in the body from being greater than the intake, which will cause dehydration and affect the secretion of milk.

Depending on the mother's personal physical condition, you should not wash your hair within one week after delivery.
