Can I eat cucumbers when I have my period?

When you have your period, you must know what food you can eat and what food you can't eat. If you accidentally eat the wrong food, it will not only cause menstrual pain, but also make your menstrual flow heavier. Luffa is a very common vegetable and fruit, so can you eat cucumber during your period?

Everyone knows that loofah is a cool vegetable, and many female friends think that loofah is cool, so they are afraid to eat cucumbers during their periods. You can eat a small amount of cucumber when you have your period. After all, the vitamin C content in loofah is very high. Eating a small amount of cucumber can not only excrete toxins from the body, but also has a good skin beautifying effect.

In addition, you must pay attention to your own hygiene during menstruation. Female friends with heavier menstrual flow need to change sanitary napkins. If they do not change sanitary napkins for a long time, they will feel uncomfortable and bacteria will enter the body. When taking a bath, try to use a shower. Every time you change your sanitary napkin, try to clean your private parts with warm water.

If the menstrual cramps are more severe, it is recommended that female friends can eat some chocolate in moderation. Don’t worry that eating chocolate will make you fat. Eating a small amount of chocolate during menstruation can relieve dysmenorrhea and it is not easy to turn into fat. Another important point is to wear more clothes so as not to catch a cold.

The following foods cannot be eaten during menstruation, and loofah is not included.

1. Strong tea

During menstruation, women lose a lot of blood, and anemia often follows. To improve the symptoms of anemia, it is necessary to promptly supplement with a variety of foods containing iron. However, after the tannic acid contained in strong tea combines with iron, it will cause precipitation, which affects the absorption of iron, causing the body to be unable to replenish iron in time and aggravate the symptoms of anemia.

In addition, strong tea contains high caffeine, which can stimulate nerves and cardiovascular system, and can easily cause menstrual pain, prolonged menstruation or excessive bleeding.

2. Melon

Menstruation can only be discharged cleanly when the uterine environment of women is in a "warm" state. However, watermelon is a cold food, which can easily cause menstrual clumping. Once the blood accumulates, it cannot be discharged and will cause menstrual pain. In addition, women's physical constitution is inherently yin, and eating cold foods frequently will cause the leakage of qi and blood, causing damage to the uterus. In more serious cases, amenorrhea or oligomenorrhea may occur.

During the menstrual period, you should also supplement some foods that are beneficial to the "menstrual journey", such as beef, chicken breast, jujube, bean oil skin, apple, coix seed, milk, brown sugar, dried longan and other cleansing and nourishing foods.

When there are symptoms such as poor appetite and low back pain, the diet should include nutritious, spleen and stomach-strengthening, and easy-to-digest foods, such as red dates, fresh noodles, and coix seed porridge. In order to maintain a balanced diet, fresh fruits and vegetables should be taken at the same time. The ingredients are mainly fresh, which is not only delicious and easy to digest, but also has less loss of nutrients. Female friends must be careful about the food they eat during their menstrual period and not put stress on their physiology just for the sake of being there.
