Patient's question:
I heard that during the postpartum period, one shouldn't eat MSG, chicken essence, and other seasonings, and salt should also be used sparingly. Is that correct?Doctor's answer:
You should pay attention to reasonable rest and maintenance to replenish qi and blood for questions like yours. During the postpartum period, you should eat less salty food. It is important to rest properly and maintain qi and blood, which allows you to eat some easily digestible foods. Ensure adequate sleep and cultivate a healthy lifestyle. Avoid spicy foods, and pay attention to eating less of onions, garlic, and ginger. Take care of your mood, and you can massage your breasts to express milk externally. Drink more water, eat more easily digestible foods, and fresh fruits and vegetables. Do not stay up late and ensure adequate sleep.
