How should women adjust their diet during menstruation?

I believe many female friends know that when menstruation comes, our bodies will be more or less uncomfortable, and dysmenorrhea is the most painful condition. There are many other situations. Red eyes, weak limbs, and bad temper are all the effects of menstruation on us. However, we can take good care of our bodies during menstruation, which will reduce many of the above symptoms. So how should women adjust their diet during menstruation? Let me introduce it to you today.

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 menorrhagia, the main components of blood such as plasma protein, potassium, iron, calcium, magnesium, etc. will be lost with each menstruation. Therefore, within 1 to 5 days after the menstruation is over, protein, minerals and blood-enriching foods should be supplemented. Choose foods and Chinese medicines that have both beauty-enhancing and blood-replenishing effects, such as milk, eggs, pigeon eggs, quail eggs, beef, mutton, pig pancreas, water chestnuts, spinach, cherries, longan meat, lychee meat, carrots, apples, angelica, safflower, peach blossom, cooked rehmannia, and polygonatum.

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 fresh, which is not only delicious, but also easy to digest and has less nutritional damage.

Menstruation is a normal physiological phenomenon for adult women, but the body will also be affected to a certain extent during menstruation, such as reduced resistance, mood swings, irritability, anxiety, etc. Due to menstrual blood loss, the body loses a lot of iron, especially those with heavy menstruation. Therefore, in addition to avoiding excessive fatigue and maintaining a happy spirit during menstruation, you should pay attention to the following dos and don'ts in your diet.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that blood flows when it is hot and stagnates when it is cold. Eating raw or cold food during menstruation can damage the spleen and stomach and hinder digestion. It can also easily damage the body's yang energy and cause internal cold. Stagnation of cold air can cause blood to stagnate, resulting in too little menstrual blood, or even dysmenorrhea. Even in the hot summer season, it is not advisable to eat ice cream and other cold drinks during menstruation. Warm food is good for blood circulation. In winter, you can also eat some foods that have warming and tonic effects, such as beef, chicken, longan, wolfberry, etc.

Through the above introduction, I believe everyone has a certain understanding of how women should adjust their diet during menstruation. In fact, people's conditioning during menstruation is also very simple. You can take some supplements for yourself, add longan, motherwort and red dates, and then add brown sugar to stew a bowl of very nourishing supplements.
