What can be stewed with the chicken for confinement? 1. Stewed chicken soup with red dates: prepare red dates and chicken, and also prepare the right amount of salt and ginger. After washing the chicken, cook it in boiling water for a period of time, add appropriate amount of water, add red dates and salt after 10 minutes, add ginger, cook it with appropriate fire for one hour, and finally add appropriate amount of salt to adjust the taste.
Second, stewed chicken soup with medlar: you can also stew chicken soup with medlar. You need to prepare a proper amount of chicken, wine and medlar. Put the chicken in the pot first, fry it with fire for three minutes, then put all these ingredients in the pot and cook it with high fire for more than ten minutes. The chicken soup stewed in this way is very delicious. If a pregnant woman drinks this chicken soup during confinement, it can warm her body and delay aging.
Third, stew the hen to eat: during the confinement period, you can also stew the hen to eat, and the stew method is relatively simple. Just handle the hen, put it in clear water, and cook it for an hour or two before you can eat chicken soup. Stewed hens can promote the secretion of milk and estrogen, which is suitable for those pregnant women with insufficient breast milk.
Fourth, Codonopsis pilosula and chicken stew together: Codonopsis pilosula and chicken stew together is better. Codonopsis pilosula is a kind of food with many nutritional values. Putting Codonopsis pilosula in chicken soup and stewing it with low fire for a long time can fully release the nutritional components of the food. In addition, the chicken soup contains estrogen. After the pregnant women in the confinement period absorb estrogen, if the baby's mother's breast milk is not enough, it can also promote the mother's breast milk to secrete more, which can ensure the baby's basic intake of food and not worry about eating milk.
What to eat after confinement? The first stage: The first week after delivery is the golden period for women to discharge lochia. Some women have prenatal edema and excess water in their bodies, and most of them are discharged during this first week. Therefore, you should not eat too much in the first week, otherwise the lochia may be unclean. At this time, the mother can eat more pig liver, about 600 grams a day. Pig liver is warm and bitter, rich in trace elements, nicotinic acid and so on. Pig liver can tonify liver, improve eyesight, invigorate qi and blood.
The second stage: since the second week, the lochia of the new mother has been very few, and the color is not as bright red as before. Women usually have symptoms of backache after delivery, and there is a saying that "where to eat?" So at this time, eat some waist flowers to alleviate the symptoms of backache. When stir-frying kidney flower, you can ask your family to add Eucommia ulmoides in it to increase the therapeutic effect of this dish. Eucommia ulmoides Oliv. is a warm and sweet medicinal material, which has the effects of caring for bones and muscles and strengthening kidney.
The third stage: starting from the third week, at this time, lochia is almost completely discharged, and qi and blood can be replenished, which is what we call tonic. The most commonly used ingredient for maternal tonic is chicken. Generally, hens or black-bone chickens are used for confinement. Chicken is warm and sweet, rich in protein, fat and various nutrients, which can play a very good tonic role for lying-in women. But the disadvantage is that I feel particularly tired every day.
The principle of diet is to balance. A balanced diet for women in confinement is actually the most important. In particular, foods that are particularly greasy, have a particularly heavy taste and are irritating should not be eaten. Although stewed hens can strengthen the body, they will get fat if they eat too much. Therefore, the diet in the second month should be adapted appropriately, with good staple food and vegetables, and more low-oil cooking methods should be selected to avoid excessive calorie intake.
