1, Pay attention to women's menstrual diet
1, the diet one week before menstruation should be light, digestible and nutritious. You can eat more high-protein foods such as beans and fish, increase green leafy vegetables and fruits, drink more water, keep your stool unobstructed and reduce pelvic congestion.
2. At the beginning of menstrual cramps, women often feel low back pain and will not consider diet. At this time, they might as well eat more appetizing and digestible foods, such as dates, noodles and glutinous rice porridge.
3, eating nutritious and digestible food during menstruation is conducive to the supplement of nutrients. Drinking more water and eating more vegetables can keep the stool unobstructed and reduce pelvic congestion.
4, menstrual period will lose some blood. Therefore, foods containing protein, iron, potassium, sodium, calcium and magnesium, such as meat, animal liver, eggs and milk, need to be supplemented in the later period of menstruation.
5, do not eat cold, spicy food during menstruation, but also eat less fat, animal oil and sweets.
Next, I recommend several recipes suitable for women's physiological period.

3, women can't eat during menstruation.
1, fried food
Many nutritionists call fried food junk food because it is not only high in oil content, but also difficult to digest after eating, and it also contains many carcinogens. For menstruating women, fried food is a big hazard food. Under the influence of progesterone secreted by the receptor, the sebum secretion of menstrual women increases and the skin is greasy. At the same time, the capillaries dilate and the skin becomes extremely sensitive. Eating fried food during menstruation increases the burden on the skin and is prone to skin problems such as acupuncture, acne and folliculitis. Because of the slow metabolism of fat and water during menstruation, eating fried food at this time makes fat easy to accumulate in the body.
2. strong tea
Women lose too much blood during menstruation, often accompanied by anemia. To improve the symptoms of anemia, it is necessary to supplement all kinds of iron-containing foods in time. However, after the tannic acid contained in strong tea is combined with iron, it will produce precipitation, which will affect the absorption of iron, resulting in the body being unable to supplement iron in time and aggravating anemia symptoms.
In addition, strong tea contains high caffeine, which can stimulate the nervous and cardiovascular systems and easily lead to dysmenorrhea, prolonged menstrual period or excessive bleeding.
3.watermelon
Only when women's uterine environment is in a "warm" state can menstrual blood be discharged cleanly. However, watermelon is a kind of cold food, which is easy to agglomerate menstrual blood and cannot be discharged after it becomes congestion, which will cause menstrual pain. In addition, women's constitution is yin, and eating cold food often will lead to yang leakage, which will lead to uterine damage, and in severe cases, amenorrhea or decreased menstrual flow will occur.
4. soda water.
Soda contains a lot of phosphate, which will produce a chemical reaction when combined with iron, affecting the absorption of iron. Therefore, drinking soda during menstruation is prone to menstrual fatigue, fatigue, listlessness and even dysmenorrhea. Besides affecting menstruation, soda also contains a lot of sodium bicarbonate, which will reduce the digestion and sterilization of gastric acid and affect appetite after neutralization with gastric juice.
5. Chocolate
Many people think that eating chocolate during menstruation can relieve dysmenorrhea and increase energy for the body, which is a wrong understanding. Chocolate contains catecholamine, which can aggravate women's menstrual irritability and menstrual breast pain.
Chocolate is a high-sugar dessert, which can not only improve the discomfort during menstruation, but also cause blood sugar instability, affect the hormone balance in the body and aggravate the discomfort.
6. wine
Liquor with high alcohol concentration will cause serious harm to menstrual women. During the physiological period, women's ability to decompose alcohol enzymes will decrease. Intake of high-concentration liquor in a short period of time will make a lot of alcohol remain in the blood, which will eventually become an acidic substance harmful to the body and harm the liver.
In addition, drinking alcohol will accelerate blood circulation, lead to an increase in menstrual flow and induce dysmenorrhea.
7.cold drinks
Especially in the sultry summer, cold and exciting drinks have become the only food for many women to quench their thirst and cool off the heat. However, whether it is physiological or non-physiological, drinking cold drinks often will cause serious harm to women's uterus.
In addition, during menstruation, the pelvic cavity and yin qi will be in a state of congestion. Drinking a lot of cold drinks will make the blood vessels in the uterus and pelvic cavity spasm after the human body is stimulated by cold, which will promote the contraction of blood vessels, leading to a decrease in menstrual flow, accompanied by shortened menstrual period and even menopause.
8. Zanthoxylum bungeanum, clove and pepper
Menstrual diet should be based on light and nutritious food, and spicy food with strong stimulation should not be eaten. Zanthoxylum bungeanum, clove and pepper are all irritating foods, which can stimulate vasodilation and easily cause premature menstruation, dysmenorrhea or menorrhagia.
9. Persimmon
Persimmon contains tannic acid, which is easy to combine with iron, and prevents people from ingesting iron in food. Because women lose a lot of blood during menstruation and need iron supplementation, they should not eat persimmons.
Female friends, during menstruation, we must pay attention to diet.
4. What Chinese medicines can't you eat during menstruation?
Drinking Chinese medicine during menstruation is actually nothing, but it should be noted that some drugs for promoting blood circulation and dredging collaterals are best not to be used during menstruation, and some cool drugs are best to warm the stomach after taking them, so as not to cause palace cold.
According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, taking traditional Chinese medicine (ginseng, angelica, etc. ) Menstrual stewing chicken has two major effects of enriching blood and invigorating qi. This dietary supplement method is suitable for people with irregular menstruation, excessive blood loss and physical weakness.
However, it should be pointed out that it is best to eat angelica after menstruation, because angelica has the function of promoting blood circulation, which may increase the blood loss during menstruation.
Tips: Before taking traditional Chinese medicine during menstruation, you should see the ingredients of the medicine clearly. If you don't quite understand, you can ask a doctor if you can take it again during menstruation.
