You should be careful about your diet during menstruation. What should you pay attention to when eating during menstruation?

　　Women during menstruation are very fragile and have low immunity. If they do not take good care of themselves, they will easily get sick. This requires women to pay attention to their diet, because eating the wrong things can also make women sick. In order to avoid frequent discomfort during the menstrual period, please be sure to pay attention to the following aspects in diet, and remember not to forget any of them!

　　What should you pay attention to when eating during menstruation?

　　1. Drink less drinks

　　During the menstrual period, women are advised to drink less drinks, because most drinks contain ingredients such as iodates. After being ingested into the body, they will react chemically with the iron in the body, turning the hematopoietic raw material iron into useless waste.

　　2. Supplement iron

　　Iron is one of the raw materials for hematopoiesis. During the menstrual period, menstrual blood will be discharged, so it is easy to cause excessive blood loss. In order to make up for this situation, women need to replenish iron in time to help the body make blood. Among them, soy products, lean pork, fish, animal liver, egg yolk and other foods are rich in iron. It is recommended to eat more before and after menstruation to replenish the lost iron.

　　3. Avoid raw and cold food

　　Eating raw or cold food during menstruation can easily damage the spleen and stomach and affect digestion. It will also lead to too little menstrual blood, which is not conducive to the discharge of dirty blood, causing a large amount of toxins to accumulate in the body. It may even cause Dysmenorrhea Because raw and cold food contains cold air, when eaten into the body, it will cause the body to accumulate a large amount of cold air. When the blood meets it, it is easy to stagnate, which is not conducive to blood circulation.

　　Therefore, during the menstrual period, be sure to avoid cold and raw foods. In addition to not eating frozen foods and drinks in the refrigerator, you should also avoid eating unheated meals that are cold today. Otherwise, it will also bring coldness to the body.

　　4. Eat a lighter diet

　　During the menstrual period, the pelvic cavity is in a state of congestion, so it is not suitable to eat irritating foods, otherwise problems such as prolonged menstruation, increased menstrual blood volume, and even dysmenorrhea may occur. In order to survive your menstrual period comfortably, you should stick to a light diet.

　　For example, when cooking dishes, use less oil, choose methods such as steaming and stewing, and avoid cooking methods such as deep-frying and stir-frying. Also, when eating food, do not add spicy food such as chili, pepper, garlic, etc.

　　5. Eat more laxative foods

　　When some women are in their menstrual period, it is easy for them to constipate , causing difficulty in defecation. In order to solve the problem, it is recommended to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, drink some honey water, etc. to help relieve constipation. In addition, you should drink more hot water on weekdays. In addition to warming the body and dispelling cold, it can also help digestion and facilitate defecation.
