Why do you eat cocks instead of hens in the month?

Many maternal friends will drink some soup to nourish their bodies when they are confinement. Chicken soup is the soup they often drink when they are confinement, but what kind of stewed chicken to drink is particular. Many people think that you can't eat hens after childbirth, so you can't drink hen soup. So, why can't you eat hens after childbirth?

There are two main reasons why you can't eat hens after childbirth. The first reason is that the estrogen and progesterone in maternal friends will be greatly reduced after giving birth. At this time, prolactin can play a role, thus promoting the secretion of milk, and hens contain estrogen, which will inhibit prolactin, so eating hens in confinement will return to milk. The second reason is that hens are fat, which will increase the burden on the stomach and make them fat easily.

It is generally recommended to eat roosters in confinement, because roosters contain a certain amount of androgen, which can play a role in antagonizing estrogen, thus making milk secrete more. In addition, cocks have low fat content and are not easy to gain weight. Eating breast milk will not cause symptoms such as diarrhea and indigestion.

If you can't eat chicken immediately during confinement, it is generally recommended to eat chicken one week after delivery, otherwise it will not only increase the burden on the stomach, but also affect the secretion of milk. There are many ways to cook chicken. Maternal friends can eat longan and wolfberry stewed chicken, astragalus stewed chicken, sesame oil fried chicken and so on.
