Usually Im all out with jamu.ubat periuk & whatever my mom & mom in law advise but in having c-section whats the best food to consume for fast healing. heard that gamat & ikan haruan can help to fasten recovery.what about foods in general.
thanks”
Hi mum,
Congrats and have a safe delivery for your 5th baby. You can still take jamu, ubat periuk, etc despite having c-section. The best food for fast recovery is any food that is high in protein – ikan haruan, sup ayam, essence of chicken, etc. Gamat is for internal wounds and can be good. It is best to stick to a well-balanced diet with sufficient vegetables & fruit (for fibre, senang buang air besar) and drink lots of fluid.
