Can I eat carambola when I have my period?

Menstruation is a monthly occurrence for every adult female. Especially for those who suffer from deficiency of both qi and blood, weak constitution, and cold body, they should pay more attention to keeping warm and diet during their menstrual period every month. There are many dietary taboos during menstruation. You should avoid consuming raw, cold and cold foods to avoid causing menstrual discomfort and lower abdominal pain. So can you eat carambola during your period?

Star fruit tastes sweet and sour, and is cold in nature;

It has the effects of clearing away heat, promoting body fluid, promoting diuresis and detoxifying;

It can treat wind-heat cough, thirst, mouth erosion, toothache, and stranguria.

It is best for women to eat less carambola during their menstrual period. For the sake of health, they should endure it for a few days and then eat it after it’s over. 3-5 days before menstruation, the diet should be light and easy to digest. It is not advisable to eat too much, especially to avoid eating raw and cold foods.

Fruits:

Melons (watermelon, cantaloupe, Hami melon), oranges, pears, tomatoes, coconuts, carambolas, grapes, lychees, mangoes, bananas, longans, etc. Please eat less of these raw, cold or dry fruits, and avoid eating them during menstruation.

Vegetables:

Radish, water spinach, cabbage, bitter gourd, etc. These vegetables are usually added with onions, garlic, ginger, fermented black beans and other ingredients when they are cooked, so their coldness has been reduced, so the above vegetables can be eaten.

There is also a dietary therapy recipe for irregular menstruation: boiled eggs with motherwort and tangerine peel: 50 grams of motherwort, 6 grams of tangerine peel, and 2 eggs. Add appropriate amount of water and cook together. After the eggs are cooked, peel the eggs and cook for a while. Drink soup and eat eggs.

Guidance:

During menstruation, you should pay attention to diet regulation. Avoid eating raw, cold and cool foods before and during menstruation to avoid cold stagnation and blood stasis which may aggravate dysmenorrhea. Those with heavy menstrual flow should not eat spicy and dry foods to avoid heat forcing blood circulation and causing more severe bleeding.

Through the above content, I believe many friends already have a clear answer in their minds: it is not suitable to eat carambola during menstruation. Because carambola is a cold fruit, and women should especially avoid cold foods during menstruation, they should try to avoid eating carambola. Women should eat more warming foods during menstruation.
