This question is very important for women during menstruation, because in many cases, this issue often affects the physical health of women during menstruation, so most female friends are very interested in this issue. When it comes to chopped chili peppers, most people know about it because some people eat chopped chili peppers in their diet. Of course, most people just eat them as a condiment.

There are many things that women need to pay attention to during their menstrual period, which most people should know. Women during their menstrual period must not catch cold, as this is very bad for their health. Of course, what we need to pay most attention to is our daily diet, because there are some foods that women cannot eat during menstruation.

So let’s talk about whether you can eat chopped peppers during menstruation?

During menstruation, do not drink cold drinks, do not be greedy for coolness, do not take cold showers, and do not eat chili peppers.

Although menstruation is a physiological process, the amount of menstrual flow, the presence or absence of blood clots, and the depth of blood color are related to the body's yin and yang, cold and heat. Excessive menstrual blood indicates deficiency; many blood clots indicate blood stasis; dark menstrual color indicates severe internal heat, while light menstrual color indicates blood deficiency. The nature and flavor of food have a great influence on menstrual blood. During menstruation, eating too many sour foods will reduce the amount of menstruation, causing menstrual disorders and dysmenorrhea. Therefore, you should eat less sour foods such as plums, lemons, prunes, vinegar, etc. to facilitate smooth menstrual blood flow. Cold things can cause menstrual blood stasis, leading to dysmenorrhea, decreased menstrual blood volume, amenorrhea and other symptoms. The most common cause is taking cold things, such as cold drinks, raw cold dishes, etc., which cause the menstrual blood to coagulate and prevent the menstrual blood from flowing smoothly. The obstruction of menstrual blood flow causes abdominal pain. You cannot eat cold food during menstruation, but can you eat spicy, warm, fragrant and dry food such as chili peppers, curry, dog meat, mutton, and wine? The same is not allowed. Because hot foods can also affect menstrual blood. When the blood is hot, it will flow wildly, causing excessive menstrual bleeding and bright red blood. Over time, it will cause anemia. Therefore, you need to follow necessary "dietary restrictions" during menstruation and never eat whatever you want.

These foods are divided into three main categories:

1. Raw and cold foods: those referred to as cold foods in traditional Chinese medicine, such as pears, bananas, water chestnuts, stone ear, stone flower, and ground ear. Most of these foods have the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, nourishing yin and reducing fire. They are beneficial to the human body when consumed on a normal basis. However, you should try not to eat or eat less of these foods during the menstrual period, otherwise it will easily cause symptoms such as dysmenorrhea and irregular menstruation.

2. Spicy foods: such as cinnamon, prickly ash, cloves, pepper, etc. These foods are all condiments. In normal times, when cooking, adding some peppers to the dishes can make the dishes taste better. However, women during their menstrual period should not eat these spicy and irritating foods, otherwise it may easily lead to dysmenorrhea, excessive menstrual bleeding and other symptoms.

3. Foods that affect sexual function: water chestnut, wild rice stem, wax gourd, kale, bracken, rabbit meat, black fungus, and hemp seeds.

Therefore, I believe that through the detailed introduction above, everyone should know that, in fact, women who are menstruating generally cannot eat chopped peppers, because peppers themselves are a dietary taboo for women during menstruation. In addition to this, there are many other aspects that women need to pay attention to when they have their period, and female friends must always pay attention to this.
