Patient's question:
My wife is in the postpartum period, and my mother wants to makechicken soup for her to drink. How can I cook chicken soup to make it both delicious and nutritious for the?Doctor's answer:
Generally, the chicken we buy often contains chicken fat. For postpartum women, it's not advisable to consume too much greasy food, as it may block milk ducts and hinder milk production, and it can also lead to weight gain. Therefore, when selecting free-range chicken, it's best to choose one that isn't too fatty and remove the chicken fat from the bird. This way, the soup won't be too greasy and will not affect the postpartum woman's health.As everyone knows, salt inhibits milk production in traditional Chinese cuisine. Therefore, postpartum women should avoid consuming overly salty foods to prevent a decrease in milk supply. Hence, when making chicken soup, avoid adding salt and MSG, allowing it to nourish with its most natural flavor. This will make it more nutritious.
