Is it good to drink coffee during your period?

Many female friends like to drink coffee. They like its bitter taste and rich mouthfeel. Some of them even drink several cups a day, as if they are addicted. Not drinking it feels like something is missing. For female friends, there are a few days in a month when they need to take special care of their bodies. That is during menstruation. They need to pay attention to diet, exercise and rest. So is it good to drink coffee during menstruation? Let’s take a look below.

Coffee is a neutral and warm food, not cold. Drinking it during menstruation will not cause any cold stimulation.

However, coffee contains caffeine, which has a stimulating effect and is not conducive to uterine contraction. After the menstruation is over, you may want to drink a cup of black coffee without sugar every day, which can also have a certain weight loss effect.

Women who drink too much coffee over a long period of time are prone to myocardial infarction. Drinking coffee before menstruation can cause breast pain, anxiety, irritability and mood swings, and it also consumes vitamin B stored in the body, thus disrupting carbohydrate metabolism.

Drinking coffee is not good. Coffee will increase the female hormone in the body and aggravate some gynecological diseases, such as endometriosis and breast swelling. More importantly, it will also affect fertility. Drinking coffee during menstruation will significantly increase the level of female hormones in the body, affecting the number of eggs in the ovaries, causing ovarian aging, and accelerating the aging of all body functions.

Things you should not eat during menstruation include:

1. Raw and cold foods: those referred to as cold foods in traditional Chinese medicine, such as pears, bananas, water chestnuts, stone ear, stone flower, and ground ear. Most of these foods have the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, nourishing yin and reducing fire. They are beneficial to the human body when consumed on a normal basis. However, you should try not to eat or eat less of these foods during the menstrual period, otherwise it will easily cause symptoms such as dysmenorrhea and irregular menstruation.

2. Spicy foods: such as cinnamon, prickly ash, cloves, pepper, etc. These foods are all condiments. In normal times, when cooking, adding some peppers to the dishes can make the dishes taste better. However, women during their menstrual period should not eat these spicy and irritating foods, otherwise it may easily lead to dysmenorrhea, excessive menstrual bleeding and other symptoms.

3. Foods that affect sexual function: water chestnut, wild rice stem, wax gourd, kale, bracken, rabbit meat, black fungus, and hemp seeds.
