Patient's question:
Hello! I am currently in the postpartum period and have only been doing so for 15 days. I really want to eat some fruits (like apples or pears), but my family believes that fruits and cold water should not be consumed during the postpartum period. (They believe fruits are also cold) They say that eating cold things can cause toothache and other issues. Hello, does this viewpoint have any medical basis? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
1. It is recommended to consume various fresh fruits and vegetables, and low-fat, low-cholesterol foods such as: mushrooms, black fungus, celery, bean sprouts, kelp, lotus root, fish, rabbit meat, chicken, and fresh legumes.2. It is advisable to eat more dried beans and their products.
3. Opt for vegetable oils instead of animal fats.
4. Eat less spicy foods like chili peppers and raw garlic.
In addition to immediate medical treatment, cesarean section patients should pay attention to maintaining deep sleep. Sufficient deep sleep will help you recover more quickly from the illness. I hope the above information can assist you. Thank you!
