What happens if I eat ice cream during my aunt's visit?

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and most people need to eat some chilled food every day to relieve the heat. Women must not eat raw or cold food during menstruation, because raw or cold food may aggravate dysmenorrhea. Moreover, the female body is already in a weak state during menstruation, and eating raw and cold food may disrupt the effective balance of the female body. The following is a detailed explanation for women of the consequences of eating raw and cold food during menstruation.

What foods can’t be eaten during menstruation?

1. Raw and cold food

Can you eat ice during menstruation? Both Chinese and Western medicine say NO! Western medicine believes that if you eat ice, blood will flow to the stomach and intestines, affecting blood circulation near the uterus, and in severe cases it can cause menstrual pain. Moreover, eating ice during ovulation will lower the temperature of the endometrium, which can easily cause menstrual disorders, irregular menstruation, and even uterine cold, greatly increasing the chance of infertility. Other cold foods include: pears, bananas, water chestnuts, stone fungus, stone flower, and ground fungus. 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 normally, 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.

The period when women are most likely to experience hormonal problems is the ovulation period. During this period when the body temperature rises, women are prone to feeling impatient or having inexplicable chest swelling or tightness. This is a natural phenomenon. Drinking ice water to cool down at this time may temporarily restore their mood, but it may cause the eggs to stagnate in the ovaries and be unable to be discharged, and may even cause illness.

Excessively raw and cold food will slow down blood circulation, thus affecting the contraction of the uterus and the discharge of menstrual blood, causing adverse discharge of menstrual blood and causing menstrual pain.

2. Spicy food

Such as cinnamon, pepper, 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 kernel.

4. Eating fried foods

Fried foods are also a big taboo for women. Due to the influence of progesterone in the receptor endocrine, women's sebum secretion increases during menstruation, the skin becomes oily, and the capillaries dilate, making the skin sensitive. Eating fried foods at this time will increase the burden on the skin, making it prone to pimples, acne, folliculitis, and dark circles. In addition, since the metabolism of fat and water slows down during menstruation, eating fried foods at this time will cause fat to accumulate in the body easily.
