What vegetables can increase lactation? Don't miss these.

In order to make women secrete more milk, many families will spend a lot of money to buy nutritional supplements. In fact, these practices are completely unnecessary, because there are many vegetables in life that can promote lactation, such as day lily, wild rice stem and lettuce, etc. Therefore, everyone should learn to make full use of them.

1. Daylily

Day lily, also known as day lily, has another name such as day lily. It is the bud part of day lily. It is a perennial wild herb with tuberous roots that likes to grow in sunny and humid places. It is rich in nutrients, containing 14.1 grams of protein per 100 grams of dry product, which is almost the same as animal meat. In addition, it also contains a large amount of vitamins B1, B2, etc. Because golden needle vegetables are rich in nutrients, they have more therapeutic value. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it has the effects of relieving dampness and heat, relieving chest tightness, diuresis, stopping bleeding, and promoting lactation. To treat postpartum milk retention, stewing lean pork with day lily is very effective.

2. Wild Rice White

Legend has it that Wu Zetian had little milk after giving birth, and suffered from constipation and mouth ulcers, but she was afraid of taking bitter medicine. At that time, Meng Xi, a scholar with profound attainments in diet therapy, offered a diet therapy prescription, which consisted of a soup of water chestnut, loach, tofu and vinegar, and it actually worked miraculously.

Wild rice stem is eaten as a vegetable with a sweet, fresh and refreshing taste. In the watery Jiangnan area, it is listed as one of the three famous dishes of Jiangnan along with fresh fish and water shield. It is not only delicious and nutritious, but also contains carbohydrates, protein, vitamins B1, B2, vitamin C and various minerals. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that茭白 is sweet and cold in nature, and has the effects of relieving heat and toxins, preventing thirst, promoting defecation and promoting lactation. Nowadays, water bamboo, pig's trotters, and tongcao (or mountain conch) are mostly used and cooked together for consumption, which has a better lactation effect.

Because茭白 is cold in nature, nursing mothers with weak spleen and stomach and loose stools should not eat too much. In addition, wild rice contains a lot of insoluble calcium oxalate, so patients with urinary stones should be careful not to eat too much.

3. Lettuce

There are two types of lettuce: leaf lettuce and stem lettuce. Leaf lettuce is also known as "lettuce", while stem lettuce is called "lettuce". Both contain various rich nutrients. According to analysis, except for iron, the content of all other nutrients is higher in leaves than in stems. Therefore, when eating lettuce, it is best not to discard the leaves.

Lettuce is bitter and cold in nature, and has the effect of promoting lactation. Postpartum women with low milk production can eat lettuce and roasted pig's trotters. This way of eating not only reduces greasiness, is refreshing and delicious, but is also more effective in promoting lactation than using only pig's trotters.
