Can women eat fish during menstruation?

Fish is a food with high protein content for the human body. People usually eat fish to supplement various trace elements needed by the body. But during menstruation, the female body is in an unusual state, so there are many foods that are forbidden. Women must be wondering whether fish can be consumed during menstruation. It is unclear whether the ingredients in fish will affect menstrual flow. Can women eat fish during menstruation?

(1) Since women have lower resistance and weaker bodies during menstruation, it is necessary to adjust their diet properly during this period. Fish can be eaten during menstruation because women need nutrition during menstruation. Fish is rich in nutrients and easy to digest and absorb. Fish is a high-protein food. Protein can adjust the physical weakness caused by menstruation and enhance resistance.

(2) Cuttlefish, in particular, is rich in protein. Its shell contains calcium carbonate, shell keratin, mucus, and a small amount of sodium chloride, calcium phosphate, magnesium salts, etc. It has the effects of nourishing blood, regulating menstruation, promoting lactation, tonifying the spleen, benefiting the kidneys, nourishing yin, regulating menstruation, and stopping leukorrhea. It can treat women's menstrual disorders, edema, dampness, hemorrhoids, athlete's foot and other symptoms. Therefore, cuttlefish has a good therapeutic effect on female anemia and amenorrhea. There is a folk belief that fish can cause illness. This has no scientific basis and should not be believed. However, you should not give up the healthy eating habit of eating fish to supplement your nutrition. However, women should be careful if eating boiled grass carp during menstruation as it will aggravate edema symptoms and cause fatigue.

(3) Grass carp is one of the most cost-effective freshwater fish. Grass carp is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, which is beneficial to blood circulation and is a good food for cardiovascular patients. Grass carp is also rich in selenium, which has anti-aging and beauty-enhancing effects. For people who are thin and have poor appetite, grass carp meat is tender and not greasy, and it is appetizing and nourishing. It has become a consensus among nutrition experts from all over the world that eating fish 1 to 2 times a week is good for your health. This conclusion has also been supported by many studies. However, I would like to remind you that fish meat is rich in protein. If the fish meat is burnt, the high-molecular protein will split into low-molecular amino acids and may form mutagenic chemicals.
