Can menstruation replenish blood?

As we all know, women have a few days of discomfort every month, which is what we often call menstruation. During menstruation, many women experience lower abdominal pain, soreness in the waist, and some even have severe headaches. The occurrence of these phenomena is related to insufficient blood supply. How can we replenish blood during menstruation? In other words, can we replenish blood in the last seven days? Today, the editor will tell you about it.

The climate is cold in winter, with yin being stronger than yang. When the human body is affected by cold temperatures, the body's physiological functions and appetite will change. Therefore, it is very necessary to adjust the diet reasonably, ensure the adequate intake of essential nutrients for the human body, and improve people's resistance to cold and immune function. How can we eat healthily and safely?

"Many women believe that they should eat something warm during menstruation, such as red dates and donkey-hide gelatin to replenish blood. In fact, this is a very general and wrong view." Dr. Pan Chunlian, a student of Mr. He Jiayan, the successor of "He's Gynecology", introduced that diet during menstruation is very particular, and eating right can play the role of tonic and health preservation.

Before menstruation, you should harmonize qi and blood in time, and avoid eating too hot food. You can take some iron maple vine, rice ribs, yam (to strengthen the spleen and stomach), angelica, lotus root (to supplement iron), and kelp (to resolve phlegm, promote diuresis, and promote bowel movements and detoxification).

During menstruation, Yin blood flows out and Yang energy is strong. At this time, you should not eat things that are hot in Yang energy, such as red dates, donkey-hide gelatin, etc.

After menstruation, people need to nourish yin and blood to replenish the qi and blood lost before. You can make some nourishing soups, such as black-bone chicken with wolfberry and red dates soup, etc. You can also eat pork ribs, yam, and lotus root. Of course, it is best to take traditional Chinese medicine that nourishes yin, qi and blood. At the same time, you can also eat more "black" foods during this period, such as black fungus, black beans, black fish, and loach.

This shows that it is reasonable to replenish blood during menstruation for the body. Because during this period, the body loses a lot of blood and the body's metabolism is more active, eating some blood-enriching products at this time can not only help our body's endocrine circulation better, but also achieve the effect of weight loss and beauty.
