Dietary precautions during confinement period
Confinement is a headache for new mothers because they need to pay special attention to their diet and life. Many people have doubts and disputes about diet during confinement, especially the question of whether to heat fruits. This article will elaborate on this issue from four aspects.
The health value of fruits
First of all, what we need to understand is that fruits are foods rich in nutrients and are very good for human health. Especially during the confinement period, mothers need to supplement vitamins and minerals to restore their bodies, and the intake of fruits is very necessary. Fruits not only contain vitamins and minerals, but are also rich in fiber, which can help the body digest and defecate.
Do you need to heat fruits during confinement?
I\’ve heard that some people heat all their fruits just to be on the safe side. Actually, this is not necessary. Under normal circumstances, there is no problem with fresh fruits, and fresh fruits can better preserve the nutrients and taste of the fruits. If the fruit is heated, some vitamins and minerals will be lost, which will affect the health effects of the fruit. In addition, the taste of the heated fruit will change and become unpalatable. Therefore, during confinement, we do not need to heat fruits and can eat them directly.
Pay attention to the source and quality of fruits
Of course, although fresh fruits are very suitable for consumption during confinement, we also need to pay attention to the source and quality of the fruits. It is best to choose fruits that are pesticide-free and additive-free to avoid consuming too many chemicals that may harm the body. In addition, different types of fruits have different nutritional components, so you have to choose and eat them according to your own needs.
Fruits that need to be supplemented during confinement period
Finally, what we need to know is what fruits should be consumed during confinement. For pregnant women, some fruits rich in vitamin C, such as tangerines, oranges and strawberries, can help them improve their body immunity. In addition, some fruits rich in calcium, such as spinach and cauliflower, also have a good effect on restoring health.
Summary
In general, fruits are very suitable for consumption during confinement. However, we need to pay attention to the source and quality of fruits, choose fresh fruits without pesticides and additives, and eat them according to our own needs. There is no need to heat the fruit to avoid affecting its nutritional content and taste. I hope this article can help expectant mothers eat smoothly during confinement!
