The benefits of maternal drinking stewed chicken soup
There are many benefits for pregnant women to drink stewed chicken soup, which can not only provide nutritional supplements for pregnant women, but also improve their resistance, especially for pregnant women who catch a cold during lactation. Drinking chicken soup can promote their recovery. In addition, drinking chicken soup within 5-7 days after delivery can help the mother to give milk and let the baby have enough milk to drink.
1, supplementary nutrition: chicken and other ingredients in chicken soup have high nutritional value. When cooking chicken soup at home, the nutrients contained in chicken oil, chicken skin, chicken and chicken bone chicken soup can be dissolved in the soup, and most of the chicken oil in the soup belongs to saturated fatty acids (the higher the fatty acid unsaturation, the higher the nutritional value), which can provide nutritional supplements for pregnant women.
2, improve resistance: chicken soup has the characteristics of improving the body's immune function, maternal usually drink more chicken soup. Especially back in Nantian, some pregnant women are prone to catch a cold, but they are afraid to take medicine. At this time, they can choose to drink chicken. Chicken soup can inhibit mucosal formation, help relieve nasal congestion and sore throat, and let the body recover as soon as possible.
3, 5-7 days after delivery, you can drink chicken soup lactagogue: If there is less milk after delivery, you can use lactagogue soup with less estrogen. At this time, you can make male chicken soup for the parturient (don't choose hens). The androgen contained in cock has anti-estrogen effect, and drinking a bowl of stewed chicken soup is of great benefit to milk secretion. Moreover, the fat of cock is less than that of hen, which is beneficial to prevent postpartum obesity and baby's nutritional absorption. However, it should be noted that you must drink chicken soup and milk five days after delivery, because the maternal body is weak a few days after delivery, and you should drink more hot foods such as brown sugar water and millet porridge. Chicken soup should be drunk five days after delivery when the milk begins to secrete.
4, can regulate postpartum diseases. Chicken is rich in nutritional value, especially black-bone chicken, which contains lysine, methionine and histidine indispensable to human body, and has the value of nourishing medicine. Drinking stewed chicken soup for lying-in women can nourish yin and kidney, nourish blood and replenish essence, benefit liver and clear heat, and tonify deficiency. It has a good curative effect on women's postpartum weakness, hypogalactia, anemia, irregular menstruation, uterine deficiency and cold, dysmenorrhea, metrorrhagia and leukorrhagia, emaciation and so on.
When can pregnant women drink chicken soup?
Many people think that women can drink stewed chicken soup after giving birth. In fact, this idea is wrong. It usually takes a week to drink chicken soup after giving birth to a baby. Drinking too early can easily lead to less milk, no milk or returning milk, which is not conducive to baby feeding.
Generally speaking, you can cook chicken stew for the parturient one week after delivery. The main reason is that the puerpera is weak after delivery and the gastrointestinal function has not fully recovered. Moreover, women lose a lot of water during delivery, so they should eat more liquid food and drink more high-calorie drinks on the first day after delivery, such as brown sugar water, jujube soup, lotus root powder and almond tea. The next day, you can eat some thin and soft semi-liquid foods, such as boiled eggs and tender egg soup. Chicken soup should not be drunk too early.
In addition, some people think that the nutritional value of old hen soup is high, which is beneficial to postpartum recovery, but it is not advisable to drink old hen soup too early after childbirth. Because after delivery, the concentration of estrogen in maternal blood will be greatly reduced, then prolactin will play a role in promoting milk secretion. The older the hen, the higher the estrogen content. Drinking stewed hen soup too early and too much will increase estrogen in the blood, weaken or even disappear the role of prolactin, and affect milk secretion. One week after delivery, you can choose cock or chicken to stew soup.
Precautions for lying-in women to drink chicken soup
Pregnant women should not drink stewed chicken too early, but also pay attention to choosing cocks with high androgen content. When drinking chicken soup, you can remove the floating oil from it, and don't drink too much to avoid postpartum obesity.
1, choose a rooster. Milk is mainly delivered when the concentrations of estrogen and progesterone decrease. Cocks contain more androgens, which can resist estrogen and promote milk secretion. Moreover, cock testicles contain a small amount of androgen, which can promote milk secretion when being eaten with testicles when making stewed chicken for parturient. However, some pregnant women will suffer from mastitis during lactation. If you find that your breasts are swollen and there is no milk, don't use chicken soup to avoid aggravating mastitis.
2. Choose a chicken. Broilers are young chickens that have never laid eggs. From the point of view of nutrition, the nutrients in chicks are higher than those in old hens. In addition, chicks contain less elastic connective tissue. Chicken is easy to separate after cooking, and becomes tender and soft, which is more conducive to maternal digestion and absorption. When the parturient is lactating normally and does not need to promote emulsion, stew can be used to supplement nutrition.
1, avoid greasy: When pregnant women drink stewed chicken soup, it is best to remove the top layer of oil. Because when the mother drinks chicken soup, if the fat intake is too high, it is easy to cause postpartum obesity. In addition, if the fat content in milk increases, the baby's lipid intake will also increase during breastfeeding, which will increase the baby's gastrointestinal burden, lead to gastrointestinal digestive problems and easily lead to diarrhea.
4, pay attention to the practice: in order to get the highest nutritional value in chicken soup, we must pay attention to the practice of chicken soup, pay attention to the choice of cooking utensils and ingredients, pay attention to the control of heat. Generally speaking, chicken soup should not be cooked for too long, so as not to destroy the nutrients in the soup. When you cook chicken soup, you should also pay attention to choosing other complementary foods, such as astragalus, red dates and medlar. And you can also add some rice wine, which is more beneficial to maternal health.
