Lettuce is tender and delicious. Many people like it very much. It can be made into a dish or eaten with meat, cold or fried, and it tastes crisp. It also has unique nutritional value. Lettuce for stem is cultivated by leaf lettuce through long-term breeding. The edible part is mainly the flower stem, and it can also be eaten, and the taste is very tender. Its stems are as fat as bamboo shoots and tender, so it is also called "lettuce".
For a long time, people always throw away the leaves when eating lettuce. In fact, leaves are more nutritious than stems. Generally speaking, the contents of vitamins, carotene and vitamin B in lettuce leaves are higher than those in stems. Nicotinic acid in leaves is very helpful for antioxidation. Moreover, the leaves also contain a lot of calcium, so it would be a pity not to eat them.
Precautions for menstrual diet are:
1, eat more foods that promote blood circulation.
Eat more green onions, fungus, peanuts, walnuts, dates, longan, roses and so on during menstruation. If you accidentally eat cold food or can't help eating ice during menstruation, you can drink more brown sugar and cook ginger to balance blood circulation and promote blood flow.
2. Eat more foods rich in calcium.
Studies have found that women's intake of large amounts of calcium and vitamin D can help reduce the risk of PMS. Women should take1200mg of calcium and 700 international units of vitamin D every day. You should eat more low-fat milk, cheese, yogurt, fortified orange juice and soy milk, salmon and vitamin D fortified milk, and get more sunshine.
3. Don't miss breakfast
In order to avoid feeling particularly hungry, three meals a day should be on time, especially don't miss breakfast. If you feel depressed during premenstrual period, then missing any meal will inevitably lead to large fluctuations in blood sugar and aggravate premenstrual syndrome.
4. Eat more fiber and lean protein.
Eat more whole grains such as brown rice, oats and barley bread, and eat more lean protein and various fruits and vegetables. Fiber helps the body eliminate excess estrogen. Eating more vegetables, beans, whole wheat, buckwheat and barley (not only rich in fiber, but also rich in magnesium) can get more vitamin B 1 and B2, which is very important to prevent PMS.
5. Eat less sugar
Sweets can lead to estrogen and progesterone disorders, and then reduce the level of serotonin in the brain, leading to emotional instability, more anxiety, and induce PMS. Experts suggest eating less or no sweets, drinking more water and eating some fresh fruits.
