Can someone please inform me

Never heard that one before. An orange is great for you, full of vitamins!

??? I’ve never heard this before. Hell my doctor was encouraging me to eat more citrus to help absorb iron. Eat the damn fruit! 🤣

I’ve never heard this before either!

I think its fine. The only one ive ever heard of was not eating grapefruit if youre on certain medications

I’m on no meds 😅

Currently opening my fridge to eat this well deserved orange

What’s wrong with citrus? That’s vitamin C that you need!

I ate dragon fruit 3days pp

Now I'm wondering where you would have heard this...

Edit: waaaaait. I know this. This is an Asian / South Asian cultural belief.

In Chinese medicine (and other related traditions), women are believed to be in a "cold state" postpartum. The idea is that in a cold state, you need to be kept warm (blankets, tea, hot water) in order to heal, which also includes "warm" foods. Different foods are classified as either warm or cold. Soup, for example, is a "warm" food, so it would in theory help to balance your "cold" state and heal you.

Citrus fruits are probably considered "cold." So they would be considered something to avoid if you are already in a "cold" state.

This isn't to knock traditional medicine, but unfortunately there is zero scientific evidence to support this idea. It's purely cultural. Oranges and citrus provide good nutrition, which you need postpartum, so enjoy them.
