Can I take breast milk tablets during menstruation?

Many female friends think that they can eat more sweet things during menstruation, because as long as the blood sugar is increased, some menstrual symptoms can be effectively relieved. In fact, this idea is wrong, and it is a dietary misunderstanding. When our blood sugar drops, we will feel more uncomfortable. The most feared thing during menstruation is unstable blood sugar, so don’t eat sweets during menstruation.

The diet during menstruation should always be light, and more protein should be consumed. The diet during menstruation should pay attention to timing and quantity. So, can female friends eat milk tablets during menstruation? Let us first get to know and understand milk tablets.

Milk flakes, a specialty food of Inner Mongolia, are mainly made of fresh milk or milk powder as the main raw material, with appropriate amount of auxiliary materials added, and are made into flaky dairy products through mixing, tableting and packaging.

Good food

Milk tablets are a nutritional supplement outside of meals and are convenient to take anytime and anywhere. 5 to 10 tablets a day are enough.

Avoid food

Obese people and those suffering from coronary heart disease, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, arteriosclerosis and other diseases should not consume too much.

In order to attract consumers, many dry milk tablet manufacturers have played the "nutrition" card. Such as "one tablet is equivalent to a cup of fresh milk", "it stays in the stomach longer and the absorption rate of nutrients is higher than liquid milk", etc.

Then, generally, ingredients such as polysaccharides and oligosaccharides are added. The oligosaccharides contained in dry milk tablets are good for bowel movements, but the added substances will undoubtedly reduce the milk powder content in the milk tablets and affect the nutritional value of the milk tablets.

Regarding the slogan "One plate of milk tablets is equivalent to a cup of fresh milk", experts pointed out that this statement is not scientific from the perspective of absorption. The nutrients contained in fresh milk are easier to absorb, and the nutrient content in milk tablets may be comparable to that of fresh milk, but the absorption is definitely not as good as fresh milk. Moreover, due to high temperature processing, many nutrients in milk are destroyed and whey protein is completely changed. However, statements such as "it stays in the stomach longer and the absorption rate of nutrients is higher than that of liquid milk" and "liquid dairy products stay in the digestive tract for a short time and have limited digestion and utilization" have no scientific basis.

In fact, dry milk tablets that focus on taste are, in terms of milk content, not as good as milk powder to some extent because of the addition of other ingredients. The market for dry milk tablets is currently booming, mainly due to the operations of enterprises. As a snack food, it is undeniable that dry milk slices do have a certain market space.

Many consumers also reflected that in order to make dry milk tablets enter the lives of more people, it is necessary to further improve their technical content, especially to increase the diversity of flavors, while diluting the feeling of pills and improving their nutritional value.

The nutritional value of a plate of dry milk is definitely not equal to that of a cup of fresh milk. As for what flavor the dry milk slices can "chew" to produce, the market will ultimately have to answer this question.

The above article introduces a common misconception among female friends during menstruation, that they can eat more sweets during menstruation to increase blood sugar and relieve some symptoms in the body. In fact, doing so can easily lead to fluctuations in blood sugar, which is very bad for the body. Therefore, women during menstruation should still eat a light diet. The milk tablets introduced above are suitable for consumption during menstruation.
