Why you should chew gum after a C-section
Chewing gum can trick the body into thinking that the person is eating. Among the difficult things a woman has to do after having a C-section — from tending to her stitches to learning to breast-feed, now there's a recommendation that's a little easier: chew gum. A new meta-analysis suggests that chewing gum three times a day for 30 minutes each time can help bring back women's normal gut function after a C-section delivery. It gets saliva flowing in the mouth and can help send signals to the gut to start moving again.
In most of the studies, the women were given gum within 2 hours of their delivery, and asked to chew it three times a day for 15 to 30 minutes at a time. The researchers found that, on average, women who chewed gum farted about 6.5 hours sooner than those who were not given gum: Gum chewers experienced their first fart about 23 hours after the operation, compared with non-chewers, who didn't fart until about 29.5 hours after the operation.
MY OPINION: I think that chewing gum is been always a good thing, and after reading this I still keep my thought.
