What to eat after your period?

Menstruation is a matter of concern to women, because it is an affectionate name for women's menstruation, which has a significant impact on women's reproductive health. Moreover, menstruation will bring some adverse effects to the body of most women, such as physical weakness, insomnia and dreaminess, etc. Long-term menstrual problems can disrupt women’s rhythm of life. Therefore, it is very important to replenish the body in time. Let’s take a look at what to eat after menstruation.

A woman's diet after the end of menstruation is also very important because of menstrual blood loss, especially for those with heavy menstruation. Each menstruation will cause the loss of major blood components such as plasma protein, iron, potassium, calcium, and magnesium. Therefore, within 1-5 days after the menstruation is over, protein, minerals and blood-enriching foods should be supplemented. Choose foods that have both beauty-enhancing and blood-replenishing effects, such as milk, eggs, pigeon eggs, quail eggs, beef, mutton, pig's trotters, water chestnuts, spinach, longan meat, carrots, apples, lychee meat, cherries, etc. While increasing nutrition, it is also better to pay attention to nutritional balance and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. In addition, it is better to exercise appropriately to enhance physical fitness and maintain a regular work and rest schedule to promote normal health of the body. Qi and blood are the foundation of women. Now many women have started the "Qi and blood replenishing journey" for their own health and beauty, but how to replenish Qi and blood? How to eat and how much to eat? There are many details involved.

Heavy menstrual flow and early menstruation are "Qi deficiency"; light menstrual flow and late menstruation are "blood deficiency"; dysmenorrhea and blood clots are "blood stasis". Qi and blood can be determined from two perspectives: deficiency and stasis. You should supplement and adjust according to your own situation, otherwise the more you supplement, the worse your condition will be. Excess blood will cause internal injuries, which may result in mild symptoms such as chloasma, dysmenorrhea, and irregular menstruation. When it reaches a certain extent, it will cause breast pain, uterine fibroids, and ovarian cysts. As long as the blood stasis is relieved and the Qi and blood are harmonized, these problems will disappear.

Supplementation is needed both after and between menstrual periods. Before menstruation, women should choose foods and medicines that are good for the skin and beauty, and can also replenish qi, soothe the liver, and regulate negative emotions, such as cabbage, grapefruit, lean pork, celery, japonica rice, duck eggs, fried atractylodes, Chinese yam, coix seed, lily, golden loofah, winter melon, kelp, sea cucumber, carrot, white radish, walnut kernels, black fungus, mushrooms, etc. During menstruation, symptoms such as poor appetite, back pain, and fatigue may occur.
