After several hours of labor in the hospital, mothers overdraw their bodies and become much weaker than before. Therefore, after giving birth, mothers often take supplements and use various methods to restore their strength. Diet therapy is a common method, which is also a major feature of China. Chicken soup is especially common. So, can mothers drink chicken soup after giving birth? Let's find out together. There are many benefits for pregnant women to drink stewed chicken soup. It not only provides nutritional supplements to pregnant women, but also improves their resistance. Especially for pregnant women who catch a cold during breastfeeding, drinking chicken soup can promote recovery. In addition, drinking chicken soup within 5-7 days after delivery can help the mother produce milk, so that the baby has enough milk to drink. 1. Nutritional supplement: The chicken and other ingredients in chicken soup have high nutritional value. When making chicken soup at home, the nutrients contained in chicken fat, chicken skin, chicken and chicken bones can be dissolved into the soup. Moreover, the chicken fat in the soup is mostly saturated fatty acids (the higher the degree of unsaturation of fatty acids, the higher the nutritional value), which can provide nutritional supplements for postpartum women. 2. Improve immunity: Chicken soup has the characteristic of improving the body's immune function. Postpartum women should drink more chicken soup. Especially during the return of the south wind, some mothers are prone to catching colds but dare not take medicine. At this time, they can choose to drink chicken. Chicken soup can inhibit the production of mucous membranes, help reduce nasal congestion and throat pain, and allow the body to recover as soon as possible. 3. Drinking chicken soup 5-7 days after delivery can help increase milk production: If you have less milk after delivery, you can drink soup with less estrogen to promote milk production. At this time, you can make rooster soup for the mother (do not use hen). The androgen contained in the rooster's body has an anti-estrogen effect, so drinking a bowl of clear rooster soup is very beneficial for milk secretion. Moreover, roosters have less fat than hens, which helps prevent postpartum obesity and improve the baby's nutrient absorption. However, it should be noted that it is necessary to drink chicken soup to increase milk production 5 days after delivery, because the mother is relatively weak in the first few days after delivery, and should drink more hot foods such as brown sugar water, millet porridge, etc. Chicken soup should be drunk 5 days after delivery when milk begins to be secreted. 4. Can regulate postpartum diseases. Chicken is rich in nutritional value, especially black chicken, which contains lysine, methionine and histidine, which are essential to the human body, and has nourishing and medicinal value. Drinking stewed chicken soup can nourish yin, replenish the kidney, nourish blood, increase essence, benefit the liver, reduce fever, and replenish deficiency for postpartum women. It has a good therapeutic effect on postpartum women with physical weakness, insufficient milk, anemia, irregular menstruation, cold uterus, dysmenorrhea, metrorrhagia, leukorrhea, and thin body. |
