Can women eat bird's nest during menstruation?

Women should pay attention to a reasonable and healthy diet and appropriate tonic during menstruation. Women during menstruation can eat bird's nests without any adverse effects. Bird's nests also have the effects of nourishing yin, moistening dryness, invigorating qi and nourishing the skin, which is especially good for women.

1. The main components of bird's nest are water-soluble protein, minerals and various amino acids. During menstruation, due to excessive blood loss, eating bird's nest to supplement protein and other nutrients is the most suitable. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that bird's nest is mild in nature and sweet in taste, and it can "nourish and cleanse", "clear and descend", and has the effects of nourishing yin and moistening dryness, invigorating qi and nourishing the skin.

2. For many women, their menstruation usually lasts for 7-9 days, sometimes even longer, and they may have some metrorrhagia during this period. Traditional Chinese medicine says this is a deficiency of both Qi and blood. For such women, bird's nest can be used as dietary supplement. Women who have delayed menstruation, scanty menstruation, abdominal pain, fear of cold, and diarrhea should avoid eating raw and cold food. They can often stew bird's nest, red dates, and lotus seed soup to replenish blood. If you suffer from heavy menstruation, dry mouth, insomnia, and headaches, you should eat less spicy and irritating foods. You can eat bird's nest with fungus, lily, mung bean and other cool foods to improve your physical condition.

3. In the 55th chapter of "Dream of Red Mansions", it is written that Wang Xifeng "is born with insufficient qi and blood, and is young and does not know how to take care of herself, so her heart and energy are even worse, and she also suffers from erythema", so she "only eats bird's nest porridge and two dishes of exquisite side dishes". Therefore, eating bird's nest will not have any negative impact on the menstrual cycle. It is suitable for young women with irregular menstruation or menopausal women with superficial weakness and excessive sweating to eat it regularly.
