Can I eat spicy cabbage during menstruation?

Kimchi is actually one of the smartest food condiments of the Korean ethnic group. Its main ingredient is cabbage, but a lot of chili peppers are added to the cabbage. So in addition to the nutritional and health value of cabbage which is beneficial to our health, we also need to understand that we can’t eat too much chili peppers, especially for women during menstruation. These spicy foods may irritate their bodies and aggravate problems such as dysmenorrhea.

Although kimchi can help us promote appetite and provide some nutrients for our health, kimchi contains a lot of peppers in addition to cabbage. Too spicy food will have adverse effects on the health of women during menstruation, so it is not suitable for consumption during menstruation.

Korean kimchi is a side dish passed down from generation to generation by the Korean ethnic group. It tastes spicy, crisp, sour and sweet, and is white with red in color, making it suitable for all seasons.

Without this delicious side dish, it always feels a little incomplete.

When late autumn comes, it is the season for Korean families to pickle kimchi. Housewives help each other, exchange methods, and are busy as happily as if it were a festival. It is not easy to pickle delicious spicy cabbage, and it really takes some effort.
