Can I eat seahorse during confinement?

You can eat seahorses after the lochia is discharged during the confinement period. Seahorses have high nutritional value and have the effects of nourishing the kidneys and strengthening yang, resisting fatigue, relieving cough and asthma, and improving immunity. They can be eaten by postpartum women, which is beneficial to their postpartum recovery and can also effectively relieve back pain. But seahorse also has the effect of activating blood circulation. If a woman who has just given birth eats it when her lochia has not yet been discharged, it will lead to prolonged lochia discharge. Therefore, the woman should wait until the lochia has been discharged before eating it.

Tips: Seahorses may cause allergies, so you should consume them in small amounts at first and pay attention to whether your baby has any adverse reactions after breastfeeding. If so, stop using it immediately.

Precautions for eating seahorse during confinement

1. A mother can eat seahorses only after all the lochia has been discharged, otherwise the lochia will not be completely discharged.

2. Pregnant women with excess heat or excessive fire due to yin deficiency should not take it. Seahorses are warm in nature and if eaten, they may cause dryness and damage the yin.

3. Pregnant women with skin diseases should fast. The reason why patients with skin diseases cannot eat seahorses is that the protein contained in seahorses can act as an allergen after entering the human body, causing an allergic reaction in the body.

4. Do not take with beer or red wine. Eating seahorses and drinking large amounts of beer can produce too much uric acid, which can cause gout. Excessive uric acid will be deposited in the joints or soft tissues, causing inflammation of the joints and soft tissues.

5. Seahorses need to be cooked before consumption. Undercooked seahorses contain bacteria, which are harmful to the health of pregnant women.
