Bela Gil ate the placenta herself: doctor clarifies the controversy

Known for her natural lifestyle, presenter Bela Gil followed this philosophy in the birth of her second child, Nino, who was born in May of this year. A natural childbirth was carried out, in the water and at home, without any type of intervention. In an interview, Bela revealed that she ingested the placenta itself after the baby's birth by preparing a type of banana vitamin in which it mixed the organ. Flower, the presenter's daughter, also drank some of the blend.

But, after all, are there any benefits to this action, which has become popular with celebrities? Much is said about the advantages of placentofagia for the recovery of women in postpartum and for lactation, for example, but none of this has been confirmed by medicine until today. "There are no scientific papers that prove these real benefits and we also do not have any historical or anthropological data that proves the advantages of practice", points out the gynecologist and obstetrician Cláudio Basbaum

Rich in proteins and nutrients? also that the concentration of substances found in the placenta is not significant. "As the pregnancy progresses, the placenta gradually grows older and loses its main functions. It is a structure made up of blood vessels and functions as an intercom element, allowing the exchange of what is produced by the mother, taking the nutrients, iron, calcium, proteins, maternal immune factors, and doing oxygen and carbon dioxide exchanges between mother and baby until birth, "he says.

The way the placenta is prepared (often it is cooked or heated to consumption ") also further reduces the" possible substances that may exist in the material, "adds the specialist.

" Placentofagia is a habit of non-human mammals to erase traces for predators that follow chicks. is still generated by the lack of resources available to animals soon after the birth of the puppy, when the mother can not leave the side of her cub, but needs to feed. "When the baby is born, the immediate physical contact with the mother triggers the release of hormones," which are scientifically recognized, "says Cláudio Basbaum.

Oxytocin brings the same benefits

by science, such as prolactin, which is responsible for the descent of milk through stimulation of the nipples, and also oxytocin, which exerts an instantaneous action on the contraction of the uterus in the postpartum, preventing bleeding during this period "
