Every month girls have those days when they are most vulnerable, emotional, irritable and most likely to get sick, which are the days when they have their period. Once a girl has her period, she will become extremely irritable and easily angered, and she may lose her temper at the slightest dissatisfaction. Girls need to pay attention to many things when they have their period, like not eating cold food, not touching cold water, not eating spicy food, etc. Let's take a look at whether you can eat instant noodles when you have your period?

Many women experience some uncomfortable symptoms in the few days before their period (premenstrual period), such as depression, anxiety, tension, blindness, irritability, restlessness, fatigue, etc.

It is generally believed that this is related to the imbalance of estrogen and progesterone in the body. At this time, women should choose foods that are good for the skin and beauty, and can also replenish qi, soothe the liver, and regulate negative emotions, such as cabbage, grapefruit, lean pork, celery, japonica rice, duck eggs, fried atractylodes, Chinese yam, coix seed, lily, golden loofah, winter melon, kelp, sea cucumber, carrot, white radish, walnut kernel, black fungus, mushrooms, etc. During menstruation, symptoms such as poor appetite, back pain, and fatigue may occur. At this time, it is advisable to choose foods that are good for the skin and beauty and are beneficial to the "menstrual flow". Recommended foods and Chinese medicines include: mutton, chicken, red dates, tofu skin, apples, coix seed, beef, milk, eggs, brown sugar, motherwort, angelica, rehmannia, peach blossom, etc.

Doctors say: "During the menstrual period, heat is often used instead of cold. Cold will retain the blood, causing turbidity and filth, which will lead to stranguria and fullness." Therefore, during the menstrual period, many foods that have good skin-beautifying effects should be avoided, such as pears, bananas, water chestnuts, stone ear, stone flower, water caltrop, winter melon, kale, black fungus, rabbit meat, hemp seeds, etc. This is why women lose some blood during their menstrual period. The main components of blood are plasma protein and inorganic salts such as potassium, iron, calcium, and magnesium. That is to say, some protein and inorganic salts are lost during each menstruation. Therefore, in principle, within 1 to 5 days after the end of menstruation (after the menstrual period), nutrients such as protein, minerals and some blood tonics should be supplemented. During this period, you can choose foods and Chinese medicines that are good for the skin and beauty and have the effect of nourishing the blood and promoting blood circulation, such as milk, eggs, pigeon eggs, quail eggs, beef, mutton, pig pancreas, water chestnuts, spinach, cherries, longan meat, lychee meat, carrots, apples, angelica, etc. There are many delicious foods that can be eaten during menstruation. You can choose seasonal fruits and foods according to the season. This will not only ensure the best nutrition of the food, but also save a lot of expenses.

Suggestions:

The menstrual period is generally about five to seven days. The amount of menstrual blood will be heavier in the 1-3 days before the menstrual period, and sometimes blood clots will appear, accompanied by dull pain in the lower abdomen. At this time, you can eat fried pork liver with sesame oil and ginger. In addition to supplementing iron, sesame oil and ginger also have the function of activating blood circulation, which is conducive to the smooth discharge of menstrual blood and blood clots. After three days, you can eat pork kidney fried with sesame oil to help the contraction of the uterus and drain the menstrual blood. If you think this is too troublesome, you can actually eat sesame oil chicken or brown sugar and ginger soup throughout your menstrual period to help the uterus contract and drain the menstrual blood. However, all of the above foods are relatively hot in nature, and are not suitable for people with a hot constitution or those who suffer from skin allergies (urticaria), obesity, high blood pressure, or high blood lipids. These people can instead have spinach and pork liver soup, pork blood soup, ginger and fish soup, or drink some chicken essence at the end of each period, or during menstruation, just pay attention to a balanced diet, eat more foods rich in calcium and iron such as: black sesame, spinach, seaweed, kelp, grapes, apples, and avoid ice cream and green tea.

What should you pay attention to during menstruation

1 Try not to wash your hair during your menstrual period. If you must wash your hair, try to wash it at noon and be sure to blow dry it immediately after washing.

2. Pay attention to keeping warm during your menstrual period, which means using less air conditioning and wearing more clothes in an 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 (especially if you have menstrual pain, you can drink some rose tea).

4. Eat some sweets: Eat chocolate and cake during your menstrual period, because it is less likely to gain weight if you eat sweets during your menstrual period!
