In real life, after a pregnant woman gives birth, some mothers-in-law or mothers will cook the placenta for the mother to eat, because there are a lot of condiments added to it, and the mother eats it without knowing it, and the mother-in-law or mother is relieved, thinking that the placenta is nutritious, and eating it can nourish the body, and can also let her grandchildren or granddaughters get better care of their mothers. After giving birth to the baby, if the pregnant woman eats the placenta in the correct way, she can absorb the nutrients in it, which can indeed have the effect of replenishing qi and blood. But most mothers-in-law or mothers just follow their own ideas and wishfully let the mother eat it, which is not scientific. The placenta transports nutrients to the fetus and helps the fetus excrete them, so it may contain some pathogenic bacteria. If not consumed properly, it may trigger health problems.
In addition, there are some parents who think that their children are weak and eating placenta can make up for it. My younger brother was frail and sickly since he was a child, and my parents didn't know who they were instigating, so they bought placenta for my brother to eat, and then he didn't seem to be so sick anymore, but suddenly he gained a lot of weight, which caused my parents to be very worried. Of course, it is difficult to explain the reason for gaining weight. If the child is frail and sickly, it is recommended to improve immunity by strengthening daily nutritional intake, exercising appropriately, etc., rather than "making a big supplement" by eating placenta. At the same time, we should pay attention to children's diet and hygiene Xi habits, only by developing good hygiene Xi habits can children get sick less, and only when diseases are reduced, can children's physical fitness be strengthened.
To sum up, in the absence of scientific evidence to prove that the placenta has any special nutrients, it is still not necessary to believe in the pseudoscience of "eating placenta tonic". If you want to be healthy, you still need to take care of your body and take care of nutrients in a safer and more effective way.
