Can I eat onions during menstruation?

For every female friend who is menstruating, diet is a very important issue, because only a scientific diet can effectively allow oneself to go through the menstrual period easily and happily. Otherwise, the wrong diet may cause more discomfort. Therefore, I hope that every female friend can pay attention to these dietary issues. The following is an introduction on whether you can eat green onions during menstruation.

Allium belongs to the Liliaceae family and is the stem and leaves of the perennial herb allium. The upper part is green onion leaves and the lower part is white onion white.

It is native to Siberia and has a long history of cultivation in my country. It is widely distributed, with Shandong, Hebei, Henan and other provinces being important production areas. Green onions are cold-resistant and heat-resistant, have strong adaptability, and can be available in all seasons. Common onion is native to my country and is grown throughout the north and south. The leaves are round and hollow, and the base of the leaf sheaths forms a "pseudostem". When young and tender, both the leaves and the white parts of the green onions can be eaten.

There are two types according to the length of the scallion. The green onion plant is tall, with white and sweet green onion, and is mostly cultivated in the north.

Onion is a must-have in the daily kitchen. In the north, green onion is the main ingredient. It can not only be used as a seasoning, but also can prevent and treat diseases. It can be said to be a good vegetable and medicine.

Green onions are mostly used for frying, stir-frying and deep-frying; shallots are produced in abundance in the south and are a commonly used seasoning, also called chives, which are generally eaten raw or used in cold dishes.

Nutritional Value

The main nutrients of onions are protein, carbohydrates, provitamin A (mainly contained in green onion leaves), dietary fiber, and minerals such as phosphorus, iron, and magnesium.

1. Raw shallots, like onions and scallions, contain allyl sulfide. Allyl sulfide stimulates the secretion of gastric juice and helps increase appetite. When taken together with foods rich in vitamin B1, the starch and sugar contained in vitamin B1 will be converted into calories, thereby enhancing the effect of relieving fatigue.

2. The green part of onion contains more vitamin A, vitamin C and calcium than the white part. Onions contain a considerable amount of vitamin C, which can dilate small blood vessels and promote blood circulation. It helps prevent dizziness caused by high blood pressure, keeps the brain flexible and prevents Alzheimer's disease.

I hope everyone can pay attention to and understand these dietary taboos in life, because if we violate some principles, it will definitely be detrimental to our health, especially during the special menstrual period. Only by paying more attention to body care can we avoid more adverse problems.
