What are the effects of eating spicy food?

The menstrual period is a very fragile period for women's bodies. At this time, during menstruation, special attention should be paid to diet. For example, some foods just taken out of the refrigerator, including seasonings, as well as spicy and greasy foods, need to be avoided. So, is there any effect of eating spicy food during menstruation? In fact, eating chili peppers during menstruation may aggravate dysmenorrhea and affect normal blood supply, so it is not recommended to eat too much chili peppers.

The specific hazards of eating spicy food during menstruation are as follows:

1. Harm to the stomach and intestines

Eating too much spicy food will cause the capsaicin in peppers to severely irritate the gastrointestinal mucosa, easily causing stomach pain, diarrhea and other discomforts. It can also easily cause burning and stinging in the anus, induce gastrointestinal diseases, and even cause hemorrhoidal bleeding symptoms.

2. Inducing diseases

Women's body resistance decreases during menstruation. Eating spicy and irritating foods can not only easily cause physical discomfort, but also lead to a decrease in uterine resistance. If this continues for a long time, the uterus will be affected by bacteria and viruses, and the incidence of uterine diseases or other diseases will increase, which is not good for women.

3. Cause menstrual disorders

Women's immunity is very weak during menstruation. If they eat too much spicy food at this time, the body will be irritated and easily lead to endocrine disorders. It can also cause pelvic blood vessels to constrict and cause too little menstrual blood flow. Long-term this will lead to worsening dysmenorrhea symptoms or menstrual disorders, or even sudden amenorrhea.

Menstrual care tips:

1. Try not to wash your hair during your menstrual period: be sure to blow dry your hair immediately after washing. During menstruation, you can wash your hair at noon.

2. Pay attention to keeping warm during the menstrual period: that is, use less air conditioning. Even if the air conditioner is on, you should still wear more clothes in the air-conditioned room.

3. Avoid drinking cold drinks: This is very basic common sense. Never violate it and don’t joke about your own beauty. Drinking ice water will prevent the dirty blood from being discharged smoothly, and it will definitely be harmful to the body if it stays in the body.

Try the following drinks to make your menstrual period more comfortable: longan and red date tea, health tea, Zhenwei ginseng, brown sugar ginger water, astragalus and wolfberry tea, rose tea, and brown sugar (especially if you have menstrual cramps, you can drink some rose tea and brown sugar).
