What to eat during menstruation

Menstruation is the bleeding phenomenon caused by the shedding of the uterine lining. At this time, women's body immunity and resistance are relatively weak, so they should pay more attention to rest, diet, lifestyle and so on. So, in terms of diet, everyone must know clearly what to eat during menstruation. Because eating inappropriate food, both raw and cold food are not good.

1. Reduce congestion a week before menstruation:

The diet should be light, easily digestible and nutritious. You can eat more high-protein foods such as beans and fish, and increase the intake of green leafy vegetables and fruits. You should also drink more water to keep your bowels open and reduce pelvic congestion.

2. Calm pain during menstruation:

Don't eat sweets deliberately. Such as drinks, cakes, brown sugar, and candies. Prevent blood sugar instability and avoid aggravating various discomforts during menstruation. Eat more high-fiber foods, such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, whole wheat noodles, brown rice, oatmeal and other foods. Eating enough high-fiber foods can promote the secretion of estrogen, increase the magnesium content in the blood, regulate menstruation and calm the nerves.

3. Replenish lost nutrients:

Eat some foods rich in B vitamins such as walnuts, cashews, and dried beans between meals. Get enough protein. You can eat white meat, eggs, and more tofu and soy plant protein to replenish the nutrients lost during menstruation.

4. Some diets can stabilize emotions:

It can prevent blood sugar from rising or falling suddenly, reduce accelerated heartbeat, and relieve discomfort such as dizziness, fatigue, and emotional instability. Avoid consuming caffeinated beverages such as coffee, tea, etc., as these beverages will increase anxiety and uneasiness. You can drink barley tea or mint tea instead. Avoid eating food that is too hot or too cold.

5. Those who have lost a lot of blood need blood supplementation:

Women who suffer from severe blood loss should take more high-fiber foods such as spinach, candied dates, red vegetables (vegetables with red soup), raisins, etc. to help replenish blood.

6. Avoid drinking cold drinks: This is very basic common sense. Never violate it and don’t joke about your own beauty. Drinking ice water will prevent the dirty blood from being discharged smoothly, and it will definitely be harmful to the body if it stays in the body. Try the following drinks to make your menstrual period more comfortable: longan and red date tea, health tea, Zhenwei ginseng, brown sugar ginger water, astragalus and wolfberry tea, rose tea (especially if you have menstrual pain, you can drink some rose tea).

7. Eat some sweets: Eat chocolate and cake during your menstrual period, because it is less likely to gain weight if you eat sweets during your menstrual period! It can also help metabolize dirty blood.

Everyone should be extra careful about what to eat during menstruation. And, at the same time, pay special attention to what you can't eat. This is the only way to effectively and safely get through the menstrual period and take good care of your body. Of course, the brown sugar, buffalo milk, and barley tea mentioned above are all very good things to eat during menstruation, which are good for the body.
