Why do I catch a cold during my period?

We should all be familiar with menstruation in our lives. It is what we usually call menstruation. It happens to some girls around the time of puberty. It is very normal and it is a normal physiological reaction. During menstruation, it is particularly easy to get sick, especially catching a cold, because the body is particularly weak during menstruation and viruses can easily invade. In daily life, you should exercise more and eat more nutritious food.

The reason why you are more likely to catch a cold during menstruation is probably because your body's immunity is low during menstruation. It is recommended that you take anti-cold medicine. Pay attention to rest before and after menstruation, maintain a regular schedule, and ensure adequate and effective sleep. Avoid fatigue and excessive mental stress. Pay attention to strengthening nutrition, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables and protein-rich foods, do not eat raw, cold foods, keep warm and prevent cold. Pay attention to proper exercise in daily life to enhance the body's immunity. Hope this helps

What to pay attention to during menstruation:

1. Don’t touch cold water during menstruation:

Women's bodies are originally yin, and they must avoid cold during menstruation. Because if we are exposed to cold during menstruation, it will definitely trigger certain changes in the body and cause stomach pain. Everyone knows how painful dysmenorrhea is. No matter what you do, you will feel uncomfortable. So what you need to pay attention to at this time is not to drink cold water, not to use cold water to wash dishes and clothes, not to use cold water to wash your face, etc. No matter you are in the cold winter or the hot summer, please do not touch cold water during menstruation.

2. Don’t eat chili peppers during menstruation:

Some women may be born with a spicy personality. They must eat chili peppers at every meal regardless of the consequences. And they eat a lot of chili peppers in their meals and dishes every day. However, although chili peppers are helpful to our body and can change our taste for food, you know that eating spicy food will definitely harm our body and cannot promote our body's detoxification, which will lead to stomach pain, dysmenorrhea and other conditions. Therefore, you must be careful not to eat spicy food during menstruation.

3. Don’t eat cold food during menstruation:

Some people are born to like eating cold rice. Due to the pressure of life and lack of time, they always come home at noon, put the leftovers from the morning directly into a bowl and start eating, and then rush to work. Although this saves time, do you know how difficult it is to digest cold rice in the stomach? Also, how much impact does cold rice have on our menstrual period? It will also cause us to have stomachache, and then there will be no other way out.

4. Never take a bath during menstruation:

I have a friend who thinks she is young and she needs to be hygienic and clean every day. So every time she has her period, she doesn’t take a shower for the first two or three days. Then on the fourth and fifth days, when her periods gradually decrease, she starts to take a shower every day. Little does she know how much damage this will cause to her body. If she were not young, I think it would be difficult for her to get through such a painful process. Every time she takes a shower, she feels particularly uncomfortable the next day, an inexplicable discomfort that is indescribable. So never take a shower for the sake of hygiene.

5. Do not do strenuous exercise during menstruation:

During menstruation, you must not insist on running or morning exercises for the sake of exercising. You can go out for a walk or a stroll appropriately, but do not do strenuous exercise such as running or playing badminton. Not only will it cause poor excretion in the body, it will also affect the body. Therefore, you must not do strenuous exercise during menstruation.

6. Remember to supplement nutrition during menstruation:

It is conceivable that if you have a cut on your body and bleed every day, you will definitely not be able to bear it. So during menstruation, although our body is detoxifying, part of our blood will also be discharged. So during menstruation, we must eat more nutritional supplements, such as brown sugar water, donkey-hide gelatin, honey water, milk, red dates and lotus seed soup, etc. In short, we must remember to supplement nutrition and take it hot.
