Women must pay special attention to their diet during menstruation. Some raw, cold, stimulating foods should not be eaten to avoid irregular menstruation and even symptoms of dysmenorrhea. For example, crabs should not be eaten because they are cold ingredients. If you eat crabs, you can drink some brown sugar water and some foods with warming and tonic effects to achieve a remedial effect. In addition, you must understand the foods that are taboo during menstruation. Foods that should not be eaten during menstruation include : 1. Tea : Women will lose a lot of iron after menstruation, so they should supplement iron. Tea contains more than 30% tannic acid, which easily combines with iron ions in the intestine to produce precipitation, hindering the intestinal mucosa's absorption of iron ions; it can cause breast pain, consume more vitamin B stored in the body, and destroy carbohydrate metabolism. 2. Caffeinated beverages : They cause breast pain, anxiety, irritability and mood swings. They also consume vitamin B stored in the body and disrupt carbohydrate metabolism. 3. Alcohol : Alcohol will consume the body's vitamin B and minerals. Excessive drinking will disrupt carbohydrate metabolism and produce excessive estrogen, causing early menstruation and excessive menstrual flow. 4. Cold drinks : People with cold menstrual diseases should avoid drinking them. 5. Soda : Many women who like to drink carbonated drinks will experience fatigue and lack of energy during menstruation, which is a sign of iron deficiency. Because soda and other beverages mostly contain phosphates, which react chemically with iron in the body, making it difficult to absorb iron. In addition, drinking too much soda will neutralize the sodium bicarbonate in the soda with gastric juice, reducing the digestive ability and bactericidal effect of gastric acid and affecting appetite. 6. Sichuan pepper, cloves, and pepper : During menstruation, you should eat light, plain, nutritious foods. Avoid eating spicy foods that are highly irritating, so as not to cause early menstruation and excessive menstrual flow. 7. Crab : Women should avoid eating raw, cold foods during menstruation, especially those who suffer from cold dysmenorrhea. 8. Snails : They are very cool in nature and can clear away heat. Avoid eating cold foods such as snails during menstruation. 9. Persimmon : Persimmon contains tannic acid, which easily combines with iron and hinders the body's absorption of iron in food. Since women lose a lot of blood during menstruation and need to supplement iron, they should not eat persimmons. 10. Watermelon : Women during menstruation should avoid eating it. 11. Bamboo shoots : Bamboo shoots are cold in nature, so women should avoid eating them during menstruation. |
