During women’s menstrual period, health care and conditioning are very important. Many friends may not know how to do it yet. So how to do a good job of personal health care and conditioning in the near future? Today, the editor will share some methods with you. Let’s take a look!

During menstruation, the body's resistance decreases and emotions are prone to fluctuate. Some people may experience symptoms such as poor appetite, back pain, and fatigue.

Due to menstrual blood loss, especially for those with heavy menstruation, the main components of the blood, such as plasma protein, iron, potassium, calcium, and magnesium, will be lost with each menstruation. Therefore, within 1-5 days after the menstruation is over, protein, minerals and blood-enriching foods should be supplemented. Choose foods that have both beauty-enhancing and blood-replenishing effects, such as milk, eggs, pigeon eggs, quail eggs, beef, mutton, pig's trotters, water chestnuts, spinach, longan meat, carrots, apples, lychee meat, cherries, etc.

During menstruation, you should also supplement some foods that are beneficial to the "menstrual flow", such as lamb, chicken, red dates, tofu skin, apples, coix seed, milk, brown sugar, 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.

If you have menorrhagia, dry mouth, insomnia, or headaches: you should eat less spicy and irritating foods, and eat more cooling foods such as fungus, lily, mung bean, chrysanthemum tea, etc. to improve your physical condition.

Those who have scanty menstruation, abdominal pain, fear of cold, diarrhea, or late menstruation: Avoid eating raw or cold food and eat more jujube and lotus seed soup to replenish blood.

People who are obese or have a lot of phlegm: Eat less fruits, cold drinks, honey, sweets, etc. on a daily basis. Eat coix seeds, four spirits, etc. to regulate the spleen and stomach
