Can I eat cheese during my period?

Many female friends are prone to heavy bleeding during menstruation, which brings great trouble to female friends, although bleeding during menstruation is a very normal phenomenon. However, if too much bleeding can easily lead to physical weakness, can we adjust our diet? The answer is yes. Female friends who are prone to heavy bleeding during menstruation need to eat more iron-rich foods.

You may be unfamiliar with the name of cheese, but if you mention cheese, many people will definitely know it. Cheese is a very delicious food and is loved by people. So is cheese suitable for consumption during menstruation?

Cheese (one type of which is also called cottage cheese) is a fermented milk product. Its properties are similar to common yogurt. Both are made through a fermentation process and contain lactic acid bacteria that can be used for health. However, the concentration of cheese is higher than that of yogurt, and it is close to solid food, so its nutritional value is richer. Each kilogram of cheese products is condensed from 10 kilograms of milk. It is rich in nutrients such as protein, calcium, fat, phosphorus and vitamins. It is a pure natural food. In terms of craftsmanship, cheese is fermented milk; in terms of nutrition, cheese is condensed milk.

Cheese is a dairy product made by concentrating and fermenting milk. It basically eliminates a large amount of water in the milk and retains its extremely high nutritional value.

The essence of cheese is known as the "gold" of dairy products. Each kilogram of cheese product concentrates 10 kilograms of milk protein, calcium and phosphorus and other super nutrients needed by the human body. The unique fermentation process makes its nutrient absorption rate reach 96%-98%.

Dairy products are the best choice for calcium supplementation. Cheese is the dairy product with the highest calcium content, and this calcium is easily absorbed. In terms of calcium content, 250 ml of milk = 200 ml of yogurt = 40 grams of cheese.

Cheese can enhance the body's ability to resist disease, promote metabolism, enhance vitality, protect eye health and keep skin healthy.

The lactic acid bacteria and their metabolites in cheese have certain health benefits for the human body. They are beneficial to maintaining the stability and balance of the normal intestinal flora and preventing constipation and diarrhea.

Cheese contains a lot of fat and calories, but its cholesterol content is relatively low, which is also beneficial to cardiovascular health.

British sleep doctors believe that eating some cheese with meals can help prevent tooth decay. Eating foods containing cheese can greatly increase the calcium content on the surface of the teeth, thereby inhibiting the occurrence of tooth decay.

Recently, the BBC produced a program about food science called "The Truth about Food", which cooperated with many famous universities in the world and used nearly 500 volunteers. Many of these research results completely shatter the misconceptions we have had about food.

Let’s start with an example that we have always mistakenly believed to be true – yogurt. For a long time, everyone believed that the lactic acid bacteria contained in yogurt can activate the digestive function in the intestines, help fight diseases, etc. However, research results show that yogurt does contain a lot of lactic acid bacteria. However, after passing through the strong acid environment of the stomach, there are very few of these beneficial bacteria left when they reach the large intestine. Therefore, drinking yogurt is basically not very helpful in increasing the number of beneficial bacteria in the human body. On the contrary, eating foods that "help cultivate the body's inherent beneficial bacteria" is really effective, such as garlic, onions, artichokes, leeks, etc. (Note: Artichoke, also known as French lily and artichoke, is a perennial herb in the genus Cynara in the Asteraceae family. It is native to the Mediterranean region and is now grown in Europe, South America, North America, Africa and parts of Asia. The buds and receptacles in the buds are edible. In Europe, artichokes are known as the "king of vegetables". They are currently sold in some supermarkets in China.)

Above we introduced that some female friends are prone to symptoms of heavy menstrual bleeding. Although menstrual bleeding is normal, if the bleeding is too much, we should consider eating some spinach or candied dates and other foods high in iron to replenish the blood. Although cheese is delicious, it is high in calories and fat, so it is not suitable to eat cheese during menstruation.
