The main components of bird's nest are water-soluble protein, minerals and various amino acids. Because of excessive blood loss during menstruation, it is most suitable to eat bird's nest to supplement protein and other nutrients. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that bird's nest is flat and sweet, which can "replenish deficiency and clear up" and "clear down", and has the effects of nourishing yin and moistening dryness, benefiting qi and caring skin.
Many women usually menstruate for 7-9 days, sometimes even longer, during which there may be some uterine bleeding. Chinese medicine says it is deficiency of both qi and blood. For such women, food can be supplemented by bird's nest. For women with delayed menstruation, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, fear of cold and diarrhea, it is necessary to avoid eating raw and cold food. On weekdays, you can often stew bird's nest, red dates and lotus seed soup to replenish blood. If you are a person with menorrhagia, dry mouth, insomnia and headache, you should eat less spicy food. On weekdays, bird's nest can be eaten with cool foods such as fungus, lily and mung bean to improve health.
In the fifty-fifth chapter of A Dream of Red Mansions, when Wang Xifeng wrote that she was "born with deficiency of qi and blood, too young to take care of it, and her mind was weaker, adding to Yan's illness", she only ate bird's nest porridge and two dishes of exquisite side dishes. Therefore, eating bird's nest will not have any negative impact on the menstrual cycle, and it should be eaten frequently for young women with irregular menstruation or menopausal women who sweat too much.
