Women often experience dysmenorrhea during their menstrual period. During this period, women pay special attention to their diet. Some women drink cold water during their menstrual period.

1. Can I drink cold water during menstruation?

1. Can I drink cold water during my period?

At present, there is no medical research to prove that cold water will aggravate dysmenorrhea. For example, people with osteoarthritis do not suffer from arthritis because of the cold itself, but because when it is cold, the temperature and air pressure will change. This change affects the blood circulation around the joints, causing these people to feel pain.

Suggestion: Although no research has shown that there is a relationship between the two, it is best to follow your own lifestyle habits. Don't start drinking cold water just because there is no obvious relationship between the two. You should follow your physical condition and not act recklessly.

2. Why do you have dysmenorrhea?

During menstruation, estrogen and progesterone will change, the endometrium will fall off, and bleeding will occur. At this time, the culprit - the endometrial cells will release prostaglandins (not exclusive to boys), which will cause the uterine muscle layer to contract, leading to smooth muscle ischemia, spasmodic pain, and possibly nausea, vomiting and other adverse reactions, and dysmenorrhea occurs.

3. What is the probability of dysmenorrhea?

Studies have shown that 77% of Chinese girls suffer from dysmenorrhea, which means that 3 out of 4 girls suffer from dysmenorrhea. In other words, you are in pain, she is in pain, I am in pain, and everyone is in pain. But there is one difference, everyone's pain threshold is different, so the pain they feel is also different.

2. Can I drink cola during menstruation?

1. Can I drink Coke when I have my period?

What women need to focus on during their menstrual period is to supplement their body's nutrition, such as eating more meat or animal liver. These substances can help replenish blood and maintain health. Drinking cola will easily lead to the loss of iron and cause iron deficiency anemia. Therefore, women should never drink cola during their menstrual period.

2. Carbonated drinks contain sugar

A 355cc can of cola contains about 35 grams of sugar, which is equivalent to 140 calories, equivalent to the calories of half a bowl of rice. However, only the calories are equal but the nutrients are very different, because sugar only contains calories but no other nutrients. It is an empty calorie food or junk food with empty calories. Drinking it frequently will accumulate and cause weight gain. It is also easy to develop bad eating habits of craving for sweets, and people will only like to drink sweetened water instead of plain water. In addition, sugar also has adverse effects on dental health.

3. Phosphoric acid, another ingredient in carbonated drinks

Phosphoric acid can reduce the body's absorption of calcium, affecting bone growth and normal height development. Children and adolescents who are in the growth and development period need sufficient calcium to enable normal bone growth and development, maintain good bone metabolism, and achieve optimal bone density, so they should not drink carbonated beverages. In addition, phosphoric acid will hinder the absorption of iron. Iron is one of the main materials for making blood. Once the iron is insufficient, it will cause iron deficiency anemia. Children who are growing and developing rapidly also need enough iron to produce blood quickly. Adolescent girls, in particular, have a higher need for iron because they lose a large amount of iron during menstruation every month. Therefore, girls who love to drink carbonated beverages are more likely to suffer from iron deficiency anemia.
