Patient's question:
My sister is 27 years old this year and is currently on maternity leave. Because she has a heavy taste preference, the food she eats during the postpartum period is also very salty. But I heard that this is not good, so I would like to ask what happens if you eat too salty food during the postpartum period?Doctor's answer:
During the postpartum period, try to eat more light and diet. If you eat too much salt, excessive intake can cause symptoms of edema in the limbs and also lead to increased blood pressure. Temporarily stop using salty foods, drink more water, and replenish fluids. Prioritize a light diet, eat more vegetables and fruits. Avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods. Pay attention to rest and adjust your mood. Pay attention to keeping warm and avoid getting cold. Drink more water in daily life, eat more easily digestible foods and fresh vegetables and fruits, and avoid staying up late to ensure adequate sleep.
