The benefits of drinking yogurt during confinement

Yogurt products are loved by most people. Yogurt is rich in nutrients, including minerals, proteins and vitamins. Yogurt is also very good for women in confinement, but be careful not to drink yogurt that is too cold. Women are weak during the confinement period.

1. Can I drink yogurt during confinement?

You can drink yogurt during the confinement period, but pay attention to the temperature. From the perspective of nutrition and absorption, yogurt is a very good choice. If you want high nutritional value or less feminine scent, yogurt must be refrigerated at a certain temperature to increase the acidity and make the yogurt more delicious. If the yogurt is not stored well, it will go bad. Some of the stretch army or other bacteria in the yogurt will deteriorate, and it cannot be used. During the confinement period, mothers must place the yogurt at room temperature before drinking it. Don't drink it if it is too cold, as it is not good for both mother and baby. Therefore, mothers can drink yogurt during the autumn confinement period, but they must pay attention to the temperature.

2. Benefits of drinking yogurt during confinement

1. Nutritional supplement

Yogurt is rich in nutrients and is easily absorbed by the human body. There are many benefits for postpartum women if they drink it in moderation.

2. Calcium supplement

Yogurt is made by fermenting pure milk, so the calcium and vitamin D contained in milk are also present in yogurt, which can supplement calcium for mothers, thereby avoiding calcium deficiency in mothers after childbirth and calcium deficiency in newborns, because the mother's calcium will be passed to the newborn through breast milk. All the nutrients and trace elements of the newborn are absorbed from breast milk, so if the mother absorbs well, the baby will absorb it well.

3. Prevent and treat constipation

Drinking yogurt can also relieve the symptoms of maternal constipation, because lactic acid bacteria produce a large amount of short-chain fatty acids, which promote intestinal peristalsis and bacterial growth, change the osmotic pressure and prevent constipation.

4. Promote digestion and absorption

The enzymes in yogurt can promote digestion and absorption, and can help mothers absorb the food they eat as quickly as possible and avoid abdominal distension and other phenomena. At the same time, the lactic acid bacteria in yogurt can maintain the balance of the intestinal environment of the mother and inhibit the invasion of harmful bacteria.

5. Promote appetite

Yogurt can directly break down the lactose and protein in milk into galactose and lactic acid, small peptide chains and amino acids, etc., which are easier to be absorbed and digested by the human body. Postpartum women have a monotonous diet with little salt. Most of them have no appetite for the confinement meals. Drinking more yogurt can promote the secretion of gastric juice, enhance appetite, allow mothers to eat more food, and promote the absorption of nutrients and the secretion of milk.

6. Conducive to postpartum recovery

Yogurt can also lower cholesterol. Most women are obese after giving birth, so drinking more yogurt is beneficial for postpartum recovery. At the same time, it can improve immunity. Mothers need to breastfeed after giving birth, so just like during pregnancy, they should not take medicines indiscriminately to avoid being ingested by the baby. If you want to reduce the chance of getting sick, you must improve your resistance. Yogurt contains a large number of active bacteria, which can improve and relieve many diseases, such as constipation, diarrhea, enteritis, stomach problems, etc.

3. Health Tips :

Experts say that women can drink some yogurt in moderation during the confinement period, which is beneficial to the recovery and maintenance of the body, but be careful not to drink it too cold or in excess. In addition to paying attention to the conditioning of the mother's physical health after giving birth, the family and the mother herself should also pay attention to the mother's psychological state, relax and not be too stressed. Some mothers are hesitant and do not pay attention to the spiritual level, which eventually leads to more serious postpartum depression.
