What not to do during menstruation

Menstruation is a physiological phenomenon that every girlfriend experiences. There are many common problems during the menstrual period. Do you know what you cannot do during the menstrual period? What fruits cannot be eaten during the menstrual period? What should girlfriends pay attention to in their diet during the menstrual period? Let’s find out with the editor.

What can't you do during menstruation?

1. Do not hit your waist during menstruation

Many women often feel back pain before and after menstruation. They often hit their waists hard, which temporarily relieves the pain, but doing so may cause greater trouble.

2. Don’t sing selflessly during menstruation

Have you noticed that during menstruation, your voice is not as smooth and pleasant as usual, and your throat is easily fatigued. This is due to changes in the endocrine system during the physiological period.

3. Do not rashly extract teeth during menstruation

In order to have their diseased front teeth removed as soon as possible, some women conceal the onset of menstruation from their doctors or ignore the doctors' advice and insist on having their teeth removed during their menstrual period. Doing so will always cause continuous bleeding after tooth extraction, and the amount of bleeding will be large, which is very easy to get infected, causing unnecessary inconvenience and pain to yourself.

4. Do not eat too much salt during menstruation

Some women usually have the habit of "heavy taste" (eating salty food), but eating more salty food (foods with high salt content) before menstruation is not good for menstrual health. Salt, also known as sodium hydroxide, dissolves in the body into sulfate and potassium ions, and potassium ions have the effect of collecting water. Therefore, excessive salt intake will not only cause edema, high blood pressure and other symptoms, but also easily cause extremely anxious conditions before menstruation.

5. Do not drink alcohol during menstruation

In contemporary daily life, when dealing with people and receiving guests, alcohol is often indispensable to liven up the atmosphere. But it is better not to drink alcohol during menstruation. Medical clinical studies have shown that during menstruation, women's alcohol decomposition enzymes (such as alcohol dehydrogenase, acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, etc.) decrease. Drinking at this time is not only easy to get drunk, but also causes more serious damage to the liver than usual, increasing the possibility of liver dysfunction. In addition, alcohol has the effect of dredging meridians, activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Drinking during menstruation can easily lead to excessive menstruation and prolonged menstruation, which is not good for health.

6. Don’t drink too much tea during menstruation

Drinking tea is good for your health. Many women have the habit of drinking tea, but if you are during your menstrual period, it is better to drink less or no tea.

Tea contains a certain amount of tannin, which can combine with the iron in food and blood, thus directly blocking the intestines and stomach from absorbing iron and hindering the normal use of iron in the blood.
