A woman's life is considered most complete only when she has her own child, but why is it that some women try every possible way but still cannot conceive? Our daily diet can play a role in a woman's ability to get pregnant smoothly. Below, we introduce three delicious foods that affect female pregnancy:
Lentil Congee
Chive and Chicken Stir-fry
Ingredients: 500g chives, 100g chicken, 15g dried shrimp
Method: Wash the chives and cut them into small pieces. Heat a wok, add an appropriate amount of cooking oil, and stir-fry the chives, chicken, and dried shrimp until cooked. Add a little salt and serve.
Effect: Warms the kidneys and nourishes the liver.
Kidney: In Traditional Chinese Medicine theory, the kidney is the foundation of innate constitution and governs reproduction. If kidney function is impaired, it can affect conception, leading to infertility or even miscarriage.
Lentil Congee
Ingredients: 150g rice, 100g lentils
Method: Wash the rice and lentils. Bring water to a boil in a pot, add the lentils and rice, and bring back to a boil. Then, simmer over low heat until the lentils are soft and fully cooked.
Effect: Strengthens the spleen and expels dampness.
Spleen: The spleen is the foundation of postnatal constitution. Insufficient qi and blood from a weak spleen cannot nourish the fetus. Therefore, a deficient spleen can cause infertility or miscarriage.
Pork Liver and Mung Bean Congee
Ingredients: 100g fresh pork liver, 60g mung beans, 100g rice
Method: Wash the mung beans and rice and place them in a pot. Add water and bring to a boil, then reduce to a low heat and simmer slowly. When the congee is about 80% cooked, cut the pork liver into strips and add them to the pot. Cook until done, then add a little salt and serve.
Effect: Nourishes the liver and replenishes blood.
Liver: The liver and kidneys share a common source. Insufficient liver blood or poor circulation of qi and blood can also affect pregnancy.
