Diet during menstruation

Every month when a woman has her period, it is an extraordinary period. During this period, a woman will become very emotional and fragile. Not only will her emotions fluctuate greatly, but her diet must also be well regulated. Otherwise, if the menstrual period is not treated carefully, it will have very serious consequences for future fertility. So, what should women pay attention to in their diet during menstruation? Here I will introduce to you the special diet for women during menstruation.

During menstruation, women often experience various abdominal pains and other symptoms. In addition, women will have a large amount of menstrual blood. If the diet is not well supplemented, it will cause symptoms such as blood deficiency and anemia. Moreover, if the food eaten during menstruation is too cold, it will have a certain impact on women's gynecological aspects.

During menstruation, you should supplement some foods that are beneficial to the "menstrual flow", such as mutton, 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.

Be careful to avoid eating raw or cold food and eat warm food instead. According to traditional Chinese medicine, blood flows when it is warm and stagnates when it is cold. Eating raw and cold food during menstruation can not only hinder digestion, but also easily damage the body's yang energy, leading to internal cold. The coldness will stagnate and cause menstrual blood to flow poorly, resulting in too little menstrual blood, or even dysmenorrhea. Even in the hot summer season, it is not advisable to eat cold drinks during menstruation.

During menstruation, the diet should be warm. Choose foods such as kelp, jujube, sorghum rice, coix seed, mutton, apples, etc. Eat less cold and slippery foods such as pears, water chestnuts, water chestnuts, winter melon, kale, hemp seeds, etc.

In addition, avoid eating spicy and sour foods. Women during menstruation feel particularly tired, their digestive function weakens, and their appetite is poor. Therefore, they should pay attention to eating light and easy-to-digest foods, and avoid eating overly sour and irritating foods, such as hawthorn, sauerkraut, vinegar, chili, mustard, pepper, etc.

Finally, you should prevent iron deficiency and eat a balanced diet of meat and vegetables. Iron is an essential trace element for the human body. Iron is not only involved in the synthesis of hemoglobin and many important enzymes, but also plays an important role in immunity, intelligence, aging and energy metabolism. Since more iron is lost during menstruation, it is very important to supplement with iron-rich foods. Fish, lean meat, animal liver, animal blood, etc. are rich in iron and have great biological activity, and are easily absorbed and utilized by the human body; while the plant iron found in soybeans and spinach has a lower absorption rate. Therefore, during menstruation, you should pay attention to the combination of meat and vegetables in your diet, and eat more animal foods to meet the special needs for iron during menstruation.

Diet during menstruation is very important for women because it is a special period for every woman, and every woman will experience abdominal pain to varying degrees during menstruation. Therefore, women need to be well taken care of when they are menstruating. Not only should they improve their diet, but they should also take measures to prevent cold and moisture. If these precautions are not taken during menstruation, it will affect women's fertility.
