S7 Ep 9 - Chinese confinement with Lucy

What is confinement and why do Asian cultures insist on it in the postpartum period? I chat to Lucy, who adhered to a traditional Hong Kong Chinese confinement routine after the birth of her second child. We talk about what confinement it and involves, as well as the reasons behind the rules. We discuss foods, recipes and recovery, and what western culture is missing out on! If you'd like to read up on confinement period recipes you can find lots, week by week, on Lucy's blog: https://www.lucylovestoeat.com Disclaimer: The information and provided on this podcast does not, and is not intended to, constitute medical or legal advice; instead, all information available on this site are for general informational purposes only.
