What foods are good for women to eat during menstruation?

Women's body resistance is generally poor during menstruation, and due to physiological reasons, they will lose a variety of nutrients, so they must pay attention to dietary conditioning during this stage.

During menstruation, women generally lose about 30 to 50 ml of blood each time, and about 15 to 50 mg of iron each time. Therefore, it is very necessary to supplement with iron-rich foods that are conducive to digestion and absorption during menstruation. Foods such as fish and various animal liver, blood, lean meat, egg yolk, etc. are rich in iron, have high biological activity, and are easily absorbed and utilized by the human body. However, the iron found in plants, such as soybeans and spinach, is not easily absorbed by the stomach and intestines. Therefore, when formulating a diet, it is best to combine meat and vegetables, and eat more animal foods, especially animal blood, which is not only rich in iron, but also rich in high-quality protein. It is a cheap and high-quality menstrual health food.

During menstruation, you should also supplement some foods that are beneficial to the "flow of menstruation", such as mutton, chicken, red dates, tofu skin, apples, coix seed, milk, brown sugar, motherwort, angelica, longan and other warm tonic foods. When you have symptoms such as poor appetite and back pain, you should choose foods that are nutritious, spleen-strengthening, appetite-stimulating, and easily digestible, such as dates, noodles, and coix seed porridge. To maintain nutritional balance, fresh vegetables and fruits should be consumed together. Food should be mainly fresh, which is not only delicious and easy to absorb, but also has less nutritional damage. In addition, every time a woman has menstruation, she loses the main components of her blood, such as plasma protein, potassium, iron, calcium, and magnesium. Therefore, within 1 to 5 days after the menstruation is over, protein, minerals and blood-enriching foods should be supplemented.

After reading the article, I believe everyone has learned about the foods that are suitable for consumption during menstruation. Therefore, before the menstruation comes, you should prepare the corresponding ingredients and then make your favorite food. However, one thing you need to note is that you must avoid eating spicy, raw, cold and other irritating foods during your menstrual period to avoid adverse effects.
