Don't do these things when your period comes

In daily life, women will experience a second menstrual period after the end of their menstruation, which usually lasts about 1-2 days. The amount of menstrual flow will not be much during the menstrual period, which is normal. You need to take good care of your body during the menstrual period, avoid touching cold objects, and try not to eat irritating foods. You can eat more protein foods, fish, chicken and other foods. You can also eat more fresh fruits to supplement vitamins. You should also pay attention to not having intense exercise, which will damage the uterus. You can exercise appropriately, eat more warm and nutritious foods, and supplement your body with more vitamins and minerals.

Dietary taboos

Any tonic (angelica, four ingredients, sesame oil stew...) can easily cause excessive contraction of the uterus.

Raw food, cold drinks, coffee and tea can easily cause poor blood circulation in the lower abdomen, which in turn affects the smooth discharge of menstrual blood and causes dysmenorrhea.

Women should not consume any Chinese herbal supplements during their menstrual period, because too nourishing stews will affect the contraction of the uterus, making it difficult for menstrual blood to be discharged. Shredded ginger and pork liver soup is the best choice. It can soothe the uterine muscles and help discharge menstrual blood. It is simple to make, economical and affordable! Method: Add a handful of shredded ginger to two large bowls of water after the water boils. After one minute, add eight small slices of pork liver. After boiling over high heat, add spinach and a little chopped green onion. Finally, add some sesame oil and salt.

Taboo 1: Eating salty food: Because salty food will increase the salt and water storage in the body. During menstruation, the progesterone level will increase, which can easily lead to edema, headaches and other phenomena.

Taboo 2: Drinking carbonated beverages: Many women who like to drink carbonated beverages will experience fatigue and lack of energy during menstruation, 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 bicarbonate in the soda with gastric juice, reducing the digestive ability and bactericidal effect of gastric acid and affecting appetite.

Taboo 3: Eating spicy food: Do not eat spicy food, and eat less fat, animal oil and sweets.

Taboo 4: Eating spicy, raw and cold foods: Spicy, raw and cold foods are irritating and can easily cause pelvic vasoconstriction. In addition, irritants such as tobacco and alcohol will also have a certain impact on menstruation. If you do not pay attention to avoid these adverse stimuli, dysmenorrhea or menstrual disorders will occur in the long run.

Diet during menstruation

Lack of trace elements in women's bodies at this time: Women lose a lot of iron and other elements during menstruation, which can also cause this situation.

Eat more black, red, and purple foods, and vegetables are best heated. Avoid sitting for long periods of time and walk more to improve blood circulation in the pelvis. You can drink some turmeric tea or Chinese herbal rose, safflower, and hawthorn tea.

Precautions for conditioning

1. Keep a happy spirit, avoid mental stimulation and mood swings. Some people may experience lower abdominal distension, back pain, breast pain, mild diarrhea, fatigue, drowsiness, emotional instability, irritability or depression during menstruation. These are all normal and there is no need to be overly nervous.

2. Pay attention to hygiene and prevent infection. Pay attention to the hygiene of the external genitalia. You must not have sexual intercourse during menstruation. Keep warm and avoid cold stimulation. Avoid overwork. People with heavy menstrual bleeding should avoid eating brown sugar.

3. Underwear should be soft, made of cotton, and have good ventilation and breathability. It should be washed and changed frequently, and the changed underwear should be dried in the sun.

4. Avoid eating raw, cold, spicy or other irritating foods. Eating too much raw or cold food during menstruation will reduce the blood circulation rate, thereby affecting the contraction of the uterus, causing poor discharge of menstrual blood and causing dysmenorrhea. Drink more boiled water to keep bowel movements smooth. People with hot blood should eat more fresh fruits and vegetables before menstruation, and avoid eating things that stimulate fire such as onions, garlic, leeks, and ginger. People with qi and blood deficiency must increase their nutrition in daily life, such as milk, eggs, soy milk, pork liver, spinach, pork, chicken, lamb, etc., and avoid eating raw and cold fruits and vegetables. Can't eat fried foods. During menstruation, women's sebum secretion increases, the skin becomes oily, and the capillaries expand, making the skin sensitive. If you eat fried foods at this time, it will increase the burden on the skin and make it easy to get acne, dark circles, etc. In addition, since fat metabolism is slower during menstruation, eating fried foods during this period can easily cause fat to accumulate in the body.

5. Do not eat raw or cold vegetables, fruits, or drinks.

6. Do not have sexual intercourse. During menstruation, the lining of the uterine cavity peels off and a wound forms on the surface. If you have sexual intercourse at this time, it is easy for bacteria to be introduced and move retrogradely into the uterine cavity, thus causing infection in the uterus.

7. Don't wear tight clothes. Tight pants will put pressure on local micro-capillaries, thus affecting blood circulation and causing congestion and edema in the genitals.
