Chinese Confinement Food Guide
The exertions of childbirth can
significantly weaken any female, especially if she does not take extra care to
recuperate and recover her strength.
The confinement period is a time when
physical changes that may occur during the nine months of pregnancy, will rejuvenate
to the original state of health/condition.
In this period, the mother is believed
to be weak and needs special care and nutrition to fully optimize her postnatal
recovery and to strengthen her “weakened” post-delivery condition as well as
minimizing an assault of ailments from developing later.
It is also a period when the nutritional
demands of the mother are high, owing to the recent blood loss from the
delivery and the demands of breastfeeding.
A unique diet
comprising an array of “quality herbs
and fresh ingredients” will speed up the healing of her womb.
Such foods will also enhance the replacement of the lost blood and pack the
body with nutrients, vitamins and minerals that the mother and the baby will
need.
Whatever, it is still essential to have
a well-balanced diet to ensure adequate nutrition during this recovery period.
