49-year-old woman with irregular menstruation

The physical fitness of female friends will decline after they reach a certain age, especially female friends after the age of 49, they should pay more attention to their physical condition. Sometimes if they find that they have menstrual disorders, they need to get certain adjustments. Do not take a bath during menstruation, otherwise some bacterial infections will occur inside their bodies.

1. The ancients believed that washing hair was strictly forbidden during menstruation, mainly because women's resistance was weaker during menstruation and they were more susceptible to wind evil (colds). After the invention of modern hair dryers, you only need to blow dry your hair in time after washing it, and wait until your hair is completely dry before going to bed.

2. Avoid swimming and bathing in a tub, and also avoid wading and getting caught in the rain, otherwise it may cause retention of cold and dampness and blood circulation disorders. Avoid sexual intercourse (this point is still controversial).

3. During menstruation, the body should be kept warm. Do not eat raw or cold food (including cold lettuce, watermelon, coconut juice, and food or cold drinks just taken out of the refrigerator), vinegar, crabs, snails and other cold foods, so as not to cause sudden cessation of menstruation or irregular menstruation, and aggravated pain.

4. Do not lift heavy objects or do strenuous exercise to avoid exerting force on the lower abdomen, which may cause excessive or prolonged menstrual bleeding. However, moderate and gentle exercise can relax muscles, promote blood circulation, prevent water retention, and promote the brain to secrete endorphins (a natural opium that makes the whole body feel comfortable).

5. Do not smoke or drink beverages containing alcohol or caffeine. Alcohol can worsen depression, headaches and fatigue, and trigger the urge to eat sweets; caffeine can promote breast tenderness, anxiety and irritability. Limit salt (to prevent water retention in the body), red meat (animal fat increases the amount of estrogen and may contribute to premenstrual syndrome), reduce dairy intake (lactose hinders the absorption of magnesium in the body), reduce any sugar (sweets cause anxiety and mood swings, cause water retention, and more importantly, make you fat), processed foods, junk food and fast food.

6. Eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, more fiber (to help remove excess estrogen from the body), whole grains (barley is not only rich in fiber, but also contains a lot of magnesium), beans, baked chicken, baked fish, and eating protein snacks between meals may help.

7. Take balanced vitamins and nutrition:

1. Vitamin B6 helps eliminate symptoms such as water retention, emotional instability, breast tenderness, craving for sweets and fatigue; Vitamin B5, B12 and L-tyrosine can reduce tension and anxiety.

2. Vitamin C is an antioxidant that may help relieve the emotional tension of premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Vitamin C is also a natural antihistamine that is beneficial for allergies before menstruation.
