What fruits can’t you eat during your period?

People should not eat fruits casually after their menstrual period. Female friends who often suffer from dysmenorrhea during menstruation should pay more attention to their diet.

Six major care methods

1. Keep a happy spirit and avoid mental stimulation and mood swings. Some women may experience lower abdominal distension, back pain, breast tenderness, mild diarrhea, fatigue, drowsiness, mood swings, irritability or depression during menstruation. These are all normal and there is no need to be overly nervous.

2. Underwear should be soft, cotton, and well ventilated and breathable. Wash and change them frequently, and dry them in the sun.

3. Pay attention to hygiene and prevent infection. First, pay attention to the hygiene of the external genitalia. You should never have sexual intercourse during menstruation. When the flow is heavy, you should change sanitary napkins frequently. You can also choose sanitary napkins on the market that are designed for periods of heavy flow.

4. Keep warm and avoid cold stimulation. Avoid overwork.

5. Avoid eating raw, cold, sour, spicy and other irritating foods. Drink more boiled water to keep your bowel movements smooth. People with hot blood should eat more fresh fruits and vegetables before menstruation, and avoid eating foods that stimulate fire such as onions, garlic, leeks, ginger, etc. People with qi and blood deficiency must increase their nutrition on a regular basis, such as milk, eggs, soy milk, pork liver, spinach, pork, chicken, lamb, etc. Avoid eating raw or cold fruits and vegetables. People with heavy menstrual bleeding should avoid eating brown sugar.

6. During menstruation, it is generally advisable to eat some bananas, oranges, durian, ginseng fruit, guava and other fruits. You can eat three kinds of them alternately in the morning, noon and evening. However, if you are a woman who suffers from menstrual cramps, it is recommended that you eat less apples. Women with better physical conditions can also eat fruits such as apples and pears.

Five dietary taboos

Taboo 1: Eating salty food: Women should remember not to eat salty food before menstruation. Because salty food will increase the body's salt and water storage, before menstruation, the progesterone level will increase, which can easily lead to edema, headaches and other phenomena. If you start eating a low-salt food 10 days before your period, the above symptoms will not occur.

Taboo 2: Drinking carbonated beverages: Many women who like to drink carbonated beverages will experience fatigue and lack of energy during menstruation, which is a sign of iron deficiency. Because soda and other beverages mostly contain phosphates, they react chemically with iron in the body, making it difficult to absorb the iron. In addition, drinking too much soda will neutralize the bicarbonate in the soda with gastric juice, reducing the digestive ability and bactericidal effect of gastric acid and affecting appetite.

Taboo 3: Eating spicy food: Do not eat spicy food and chili peppers before menstruation, and eat less fatty meat, animal oil and sweets.

Taboo 4: Eating spicy and cold foods: Spicy and cold foods are irritating and can easily cause pelvic blood vessel constriction, resulting in too little menstrual blood flow or even sudden cessation of menstrual blood flow. In addition, irritating substances such as tobacco and alcohol will also have a certain impact on menstruation. If you do not pay attention to avoid these adverse stimuli, dysmenorrhea or menstrual disorders will occur in the long run.

Taboo 5: Eating fried and greasy food.
