Can I eat blood-enriching foods during menstruation?

Many women know that the monthly menstruation will take away a lot of nutrients from the body, so they need to supplement a lot of blood-enriching nutrients during the monthly menstruation. However, many people do not know whether it is better to take blood-enriching products during the menstruation or after the menstruation. Regarding this blind spot, women should know the knowledge that will allow them to better replenish the nutrients needed by their bodies during and before and after menstruation.

During menstruation, the body's resistance decreases and emotions are prone to fluctuate. Some people may experience symptoms such as poor appetite, back pain, and fatigue. Due to menstrual blood loss, especially menorrhagia, the main components of blood such as plasma protein, potassium, iron, calcium, magnesium, etc. will be lost with each menstruation. Therefore, within 1 to 5 days after the menstruation is over, protein, minerals and blood-enriching foods should be supplemented. Choose foods and Chinese medicines that have both beauty-enhancing and blood-replenishing effects, such as milk, eggs, pigeon eggs, quail eggs, beef, mutton, pig pancreas, water chestnuts, spinach, cherries, longan meat, lychee meat, carrots, apples, angelica, safflower, peach blossom, cooked rehmannia, and polygonatum.

During menstruation, you should also supplement some foods that are beneficial to the "flow of menstruation", such as mutton, chicken, red dates, tofu skin, apples, coix seed, milk, brown sugar, motherwort, angelica, longan and other warm tonic foods. When you have symptoms such as poor appetite and back pain, you should choose foods that are nutritious, spleen-strengthening, appetite-stimulating, and easily digestible, such as dates, noodles, and coix seed porridge. To maintain nutritional balance, fresh vegetables and fruits should be consumed together. Food should be mainly fresh, which is not only delicious and easy to absorb, but also has less nutritional damage.

Menstruation is a normal physiological phenomenon for adult women, but the body will also be affected to a certain extent during menstruation, such as reduced resistance, mood swings, irritability, anxiety, etc. Due to menstrual blood loss, the body loses a lot of iron, especially those with heavy menstruation.

Many women also experience dysmenorrhea, bad mood, and bad emotions during menstruation. These are all related to the hormones secreted by the body during menstruation. Some women have poor physical fitness and will experience various discomforts during menstruation. Therefore, those with poor physical fitness should pay attention to exercise and enhance their physical fitness. Pay more attention to maintenance, eat more nutritious products, and replenish the elements your body lacks, so that you can be a beautiful woman with a rosy complexion before and after menstruation.
