Is a cold before menstruation a sign of pregnancy?

During menstruation, girls need to pay close attention to changes in their bodies, because any physical discomfort may lead to serious illness. Girls are very weak during menstruation and are always at risk of catching a cold. If you are exposed to wind or catch a cold, the cold may get worse. Moreover, you cannot take medicine at will during this period. It is difficult to treat and the symptoms are very uncomfortable. So, is a cold before your period a symptom of pregnancy?

1. Diet adjustment

When the qi and blood are sufficient, people's hands and feet are warm all year round. However, some women are particularly sensitive to low outside temperatures and their hands and feet are easily cold. This is a manifestation of insufficient qi and blood. When the qi and blood are insufficient, you can eat foods that warm and nourish qi and blood, such as: longan, walnuts, dates, wolfberries, etc. As for some raw, cold foods, such as white radish, mung beans, winter melon, various cold drinks, iced foods, raw cold dishes, etc., try to eat less. In addition, you can also eat angelica, red dates, and Polygonatum boiled eggs or donkey-hide gelatin and lean meat soup before your period, and drink some brown sugar and ginger tea after your period.

2. Keep warm

In particular, you should pay attention to keeping your lower body warm, especially your lower abdomen, waist and feet. Do not expose your legs too early in spring and summer, and try to avoid wearing short skirts and low-waist pants.

3. Exercise appropriately

Generally speaking, people with insufficient qi and blood tend to be quiet and not active. Excessive exercise can easily make them feel tired, chest tightness, shortness of breath, etc., so some people simply choose not to move. In fact, movement can generate yang, and proper physical exercise can also improve blood circulation and improve physical fitness.

4. Massage foot acupoints frequently

There are many acupoints and meridians on the feet. Regular massage can dredge the body's meridians, improve blood circulation, and regulate qi and blood. For example, our toes are the junction of the "Three Yin Meridians of the Foot" and the "Three Yang Meridians of the Foot". Regularly massaging the ten toes can help the meridian qi run smoothly. When massaging, you can pinch a toe with your thumb and index finger, knead it on all sides and then gently pull it upwards. In addition, the Yongquan point on the sole of the foot is also a very important acupuncture point. "The kidney comes from Yongquan, and Yongquan is the center of the foot." Therefore, regular massage of this point is also very beneficial for protecting Yang Qi. How to find the Yongquan point? We just need to roll the sole of the foot slightly, and we can feel a depression in the front of the sole of the foot. This depression is the Yongquan point.

5. Mental care

When people are overworked, depressed, or have too much negative emotional stimulation, it will also affect the circulation of Yang Qi. Therefore, in daily life, we should pay attention to regular work and rest and not stay up late. At the same time, we should try to maintain an optimistic and happy mood and avoid too much emotional fluctuations.
