Dietary taboo of confinement
1, avoid eating more monosodium glutamate. In order to avoid zinc deficiency, new mothers should avoid eating too much monosodium glutamate.

It can specifically combine with zinc in the baby's blood to produce glutamic acid that cannot be absorbed by the body, but zinc is excreted with urine, resulting in zinc deficiency in the baby. In this way, the baby is not only prone to poor taste and anorexia, but also causes adverse consequences such as mental retardation and growth retardation.
