Why can't girls eat leeks?

We are all familiar with amaranth. It can be used as a dish or made into various pastries. Especially in spring and winter when the temperature is relatively cold, amaranth is warm in nature and can nourish the kidney essence. Many people like to eat it, but some people say that girls can't eat leeks. Why can't girls eat leeks?

In fact, it makes sense that girls cannot eat leeks, especially for women who have just given birth, are breastfeeding, pregnant, and during their menstrual period. These are all relatively special stages. You cannot eat leeks during the postpartum and breastfeeding period because Amaranth has the effect of reducing milk production. If you eat it at this time, it will affect breast milk, and insufficient milk secretion will also affect the baby. Women who are pregnant or menstruating should not eat it, as it also affects menstrual flow.

Many women eat bird's nests, donkey-hide gelatin cakes and other health products to replenish qi and blood. At this time, they should not eat leeks. Although amaranth also has the effect of replenishing qi and blood, eating too much will cause kidney damage and affect the efficacy of the medicine.

Apart from the above two situations, girls can still eat some amaranth in moderation. The specific situation still needs to be selected according to their own situation. It does not mean that they must not eat it.

Common problems with eating leeks

Don't eat too much: Amaranth belongs to the hot food. If you eat too much, it is easy to get angry, especially for those with yin deficiency and hyperactivity of fire, otherwise it will aggravate the condition of getting angry. So don't eat too much.

Poor digestion and absorption, don’t eat too much in summer: Amaranth is more common in summer and is easy to become brittle. The brittle amaranth contains more cellulose and is relatively rough. If the digestion and absorption are not strong, it will increase the gastrointestinal burden, so don’t eat too much.

Do not eat overnight amaranth: Sometimes there is too much amaranth and the leftovers will be eaten again the next day. However, overnight amaranth will produce substances that are harmful to the human body, so it is best not to eat it.
