Can I eat fermented glutinous rice during menstruation?

Can you eat Laozao during menstruation? We all know that women have a menstrual period once a month, but it is also the most special time for women. There are many things they cannot do and many foods they cannot eat. The food that women eat during menstruation cannot harm their bodies, nor can they eat something that will increase the amount of menstruation. Women are afraid that the food they eat will affect their bodies every time they have their menstrual period. So can you eat Laozao during menstruation?

Traditional Chinese Medicine: Glutinous rice wine is sweet and mellow, can stimulate the secretion of digestive glands, increase appetite and aid digestion. After brewing, the nutrients in glutinous rice are easier for the human body to absorb, making it an excellent product for replenishing qi and blood for middle-aged and elderly people, pregnant women and those with weak bodies. Stewing meat with glutinous rice wine can make the meat more tender and easier to digest. Glutinous rice wine also has the effects of refreshing, relieving fatigue, quenching thirst and cooling off, promoting blood circulation and moisturizing the skin. It also has a certain effect on the following symptoms: pale complexion, spontaneous sweating; or weak constitution, dizziness, sallow complexion, shortness of breath, stomach pain, and clear stools.

Western medicine: Rice wine is a product of glutinous rice or rice fermented by Rhizopus (and a small amount of Mucor and yeast). Its chemical composition and physical state have undergone great changes. The starch is converted into small molecule sugars, the protein is partially broken down into amino acids and peptides, the changes in lipids and the changes in the binding state of vitamins and minerals all effectively promote the improvement of its nutritional function. Its nutritional function is based on such chemical and physical changes. Moreover, some flavor substances produced during the fermentation process also greatly improve its taste.

1. Sugar analysis: The starch in rice is converted into monosaccharides and oligosaccharides, which is more conducive to quickly replenishing the body's energy and changing the taste. The main monosaccharides and disaccharides are glucose, fructose, maltose, sucrose and isomaltose. 2. Acid analysis: Acid plays an important role in the taste of rice wine and in stimulating the secretion of digestive juices. Most of these organic acids are produced by root enzyme fermentation during the fermentation process of rice starch. The organic acids contained mainly include lactic acid, acetic acid, citric acid, etc. 3. Protein and amino acids: Most of the protein in rice is insoluble in water (glutenin, alcohol-soluble protein, albumin, globulin). After the fermentation process, some of it will be broken down into free amino acids and polypeptides, which is very helpful for improving its nutritional value. 4. Vitamins and minerals: Most of these substances are contained in rice itself, mainly because their combination form has changed, and root enzymes also produce some vitamins during fermentation. The main ones include B vitamins, vitamin E, and various minerals.
