Can I eat snails during menstruation?

Snails should be relatively familiar to everyone, so when it comes to the question of whether snails can be eaten during menstruation, many people have no opinion. Of course, their lack of opinion does not mean approval, but rather that they actually do not understand conch. To be honest, in real life, many people have eaten snails, but relatively few people have eaten fragrant snails. This is one of the reasons why most people don’t really understand fragrant snails.

The food for women during menstruation is very special, because many foods are not allowed to be eaten during menstruation, such as watermelon and crab that many people like to eat, and of course some frozen drinks are also not allowed to be consumed. This is mainly for the sake of women's health. However, can conch be eaten? Let's talk about this issue below.

The fragrant snail is also known as the yellow jade snail. It has a thin, solid, pear-shaped shell with a yellowish-brown surface and a light gray top. It lives in intertidal mud or on sandy beaches, leaving traces on the paint where it has crawled, and traces of age can be collected.

Dietary taboos during menstruation

1. Milk

Many women experience various physical and psychological discomforts during and before menstruation, largely due to a lack of magnesium in the body. Magnesium can stimulate the release of dopamine, a chemical in the brain that is related to mood. It can play a psychological regulating role on the female body, helping the body to relax, eliminate tension and reduce stress.

Cheese-based foods are the root cause of dysmenorrhea. Foods such as milk, cheese, cream, yeast milk, etc. will destroy the absorption of magnesium and should be eaten less, especially during menstruation.

2. Soda

Many women who like to drink carbonated beverages will experience fatigue and lack of energy during their menstrual period, which is a sign of iron deficiency.

Because soda and other beverages mostly contain phosphates, they react chemically with iron in the body, making it difficult to absorb the iron. In addition, drinking too much soda will neutralize the sodium bicarbonate in the soda with gastric juice, reducing the digestive ability and bactericidal effect of gastric acid and affecting appetite.

3. Too salty food

If women eat too much salty food before menstruation, the salt and water storage in the body will increase, making them prone to excitement and irritability. In addition, the amount of progesterone in the body increases during menstruation, which can also make them prone to edema and headaches. If you start eating a low-salt diet 10 days before your period, you won't experience the above symptoms.

During menstruation, you should eat light, plain, nutritious food.

Therefore, after the above detailed introduction about conch, our careful people will find that the above-mentioned issues have been explicitly prohibited. That is to say, women during menstruation should not eat conch. The main reason for this is that conch is a cold food, so women should not eat conch during menstruation. Otherwise it will have a very bad impact on your body.
