Can I eat popsicles during my period?

Can you eat popsicles during menstruation? This is a question that many female friends are very concerned about, because this question is related to women's physical health. Popsicles are a kind of cold drink that many people like to eat, especially in summer, when even more people like to eat popsicles. However, for women during their menstrual period, there are many aspects that need attention, especially daily diet, because this aspect is directly linked to their physical health.

Menstruation is something that women are very familiar with. Most women "meet" this old friend every month in their lives. This is a very normal physiological phenomenon. However, menstruation is painful for women, because in many cases, menstruation is very painful, so you need to pay special attention to your daily diet. So, let’s talk about the question of whether you can eat popsicles during menstruation.

Women should not eat these things during menstruation

1. Raw and cold foods: those referred to as cold foods in traditional Chinese medicine, such as pears, bananas, water chestnuts, stone ear, stone flower, and ground ear. Most of these foods have the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, nourishing yin and reducing fire. They are beneficial to the human body when consumed on a normal basis, but you should try not to eat or eat less of these foods during the menstrual period, otherwise it will easily cause symptoms such as dysmenorrhea and irregular menstruation.

2. Spicy foods: such as cinnamon, prickly ash, cloves, pepper, etc. These foods are all condiments. In normal times, when cooking, adding some peppers to the dishes can make the dishes taste better. However, women during their menstrual period should not eat these spicy and irritating foods, otherwise it may easily lead to dysmenorrhea, excessive menstrual bleeding and other symptoms.

3. Foods that affect sexual function: water chestnut, wild rice stem, wax gourd, kale, bracken, rabbit meat, black fungus, and hemp seeds. Some women's dysmenorrhea symptoms are beyond the tolerable range. If medication does not work, you must see a doctor as soon as possible. It is very important to let the doctor know the severity of your dysmenorrhea. The doctor will perform a diagnostic test for endometriosis for you depending on the situation.

4. Can women drink alcohol during menstruation? Doctors tell us: the secretion of menstrual blood is no more than 50-120g, and alcohol will not have any effect on it. In addition, there are many women who particularly want to drink wine or warm wine during menstruation. This is because the body temperature drops by 0.3-0.4 degrees during menstruation, and they subconsciously want to warm up the body. Therefore, during this period, drinking 1-2 glasses of wine is the appropriate amount, no more.

Because women cannot eat raw or cold food during menstruation, they are not allowed to eat popsicles. I hope all women will pay attention to this and not cause physical discomfort due to momentary greed. In fact, during the menstrual period, our female friends can eat more light food and pay more attention to rest, which is very good for their bodies.
