"Many women believe that they should eat something warm during menstruation, such as red dates and donkey-hide gelatin to replenish blood. In fact, this is a very general and wrong view." Dr. Pan Chunlian, a student of Mr. He Jiayan, the successor of "He's Gynecology", introduced that diet during menstruation is very particular, and eating right can play the role of tonic and health preservation.

Before menstruation, you should harmonize qi and blood in time, and avoid eating too hot food. You can take some iron maple vine, rice ribs, yam (to strengthen the spleen and stomach), angelica, lotus root (to supplement iron), and kelp (to resolve phlegm, promote diuresis, and promote bowel movements and detoxification).

During menstruation, Yin blood flows out and Yang energy is strong. At this time, you should not eat things that are hot in Yang energy, such as red dates, donkey-hide gelatin, etc.

After menstruation, you need to nourish yin and blood to replenish the qi and blood lost before. You can make some nourishing soups, such as black-bone chicken with wolfberry and red dates soup, etc. You can also eat pork ribs, yam, and lotus root. Of course, it is best to take Chinese medicine that nourishes yin, qi and blood. At the same time, you can also eat more "black" foods during this period, such as black fungus, black beans, black fish, and loach.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that brown sugar is warm in nature, sweet in taste, and enters the spleen. It has the effects of replenishing qi and blood, strengthening the spleen and warming the stomach, relieving pain, and promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. The elderly's intake of various trace elements and vitamins gradually decreases, so they should pay attention to supplementing them in their diet to maintain normal metabolic function and delay aging. Women can avoid dysmenorrhea by drinking some brown sugar water during their menstrual period. The calcium and magnesium it contains can work together to exert a calming and relaxing effect, and the iron element can also replenish the loss during menstruation.

During menstruation, women should not only replenish blood, but also effectively supplement food. So we should eat some warm food. We can also soak our hands and feet in hot water to reduce pain for women during menstruation. This will also make us healthy. So during menstruation, we should also maintain our mood and not stay up late.
