It is best not to eat these fruits during menstruation, as they will aggravate dysmenorrhea

There are always a few days every month when women are visited by their "good friend". During this period, women's bodies will be relatively weak, and their diet and daily routine will be adjusted compared to usual, especially in terms of diet, there are many taboos. Many fruits and foods cannot be eaten during menstruation. What are they?

1. Blueberries

There are more than ten kinds of phenolic acids in blueberries, among which the highest content is chlorogenic acid, also known as caffeic acid. Caffeic acid has many health benefits for the human body. It can inhibit cancer and has a powerful antioxidant effect, helping women fight aging. However, it is not advisable to consume excessive amounts of blueberries during menstruation. As a type of tannic acid, the caffeic acid contained in blueberries will also double the "pain" of your menstrual period.

2. Hawthorn

Hawthorn has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Eating a moderate amount of hawthorn or hawthorn products can relieve the symptoms of dysmenorrhea and irregular menstruation caused by blood stasis. But hawthorn is also rich in tannic acid. Taking it in excess can lead to iron deficiency in the body and aggravate menstrual discomfort. Except for people with blood stasis type dysmenorrhea, other women will experience excessive menstrual bleeding if they take hawthorn during menstruation.

3. Pomegranate

Pomegranate is rich in tannins, such as tannic acid, tannin, tannic acid, etc., which can aggravate menstrual discomfort. Pomegranate tastes sour and contains bioalkali, ursolic acid, etc. It has a significant astringent effect, which is not conducive to the discharge and smooth flow of menstrual blood. Patients with dysmenorrhea should especially avoid eating it.

4. Plums

We all know that you can’t eat ice cream during menstruation. But it's not just ice cream, all other foods with a cold nature are also taboo during menstruation, and plums are one of them. Plums are cool in nature. Eating them regularly can clear away heat and detoxify, nourish yin and reduce fire. However, if eaten during menstruation, they can cause symptoms such as dysmenorrhea and irregular menstruation.

5. Grapes

Grapes are also rich in tannic acid and are a fruit that can aggravate dysmenorrhea. Moreover, grapes are one of the coldest fruits. Eating grapes during menstruation can not only hinder digestion, but also easily damage the body's yang energy, leading to internal cold. The coldness can cause stagnation and make menstrual blood flow poorly, resulting in too little menstrual blood, or even dysmenorrhea.

6. Persimmon

Persimmons contain tannic acid, which easily combines with iron and hinders the body's absorption of iron in food. Since women lose a lot of blood during menstruation and need to supplement iron, they should not eat persimmons. Secondly, because persimmons are cold in nature, they will stimulate uterine contraction. Uterine contraction can greatly reduce menstrual flow, prolong menstruation, and even cause menstrual pain in severe cases!
