Can I eat mango during menstruation?

Generally, you can eat mangoes in moderation during menstruation, but you need to avoid excessive consumption or allergies to mangoes.

Mango is rich in vitamin C, dietary fiber and iron, which helps relieve menstrual fatigue and replenish lost nutrients. The natural sugars they contain can help regulate mood swings, and the vitamin B6 in mangoes may also reduce symptoms of premenstrual syndrome. For women with menstrual anemia, the non-heme iron in mango can improve absorption with the assistance of vitamin C. Some people believe that mango has a hemostatic effect and are taboo on eating it during menstruation, but there is currently a lack of clear medical evidence to support this statement.

Mango is a tropical fruit. Excessive consumption may irritate the gastrointestinal mucosa, causing bloating or diarrhea. Changes in hormone levels in women during menstruation may make the digestive system more sensitive. It is recommended that the daily consumption be controlled within 200 grams. People who are allergic to Anacardiaceae plants may experience cross-allergic reactions such as lip swelling and skin itching. Such people should avoid eating it completely. Women with diabetes or insulin resistance should be aware of the higher sugar content in mangoes.

It is recommended that the diet during menstruation should be warm and easy to digest, with a small amount of mango as a snack. Avoid eating it on an empty stomach or eating it with cold food. Refrigerated mangoes need to return to room temperature before eating. If symptoms of allergies or gastrointestinal discomfort occur, stop eating immediately and seek medical advice. Maintain a balanced diet on a daily basis, and appropriately increase the intake of foods rich in iron, protein and vitamins during menstruation.
