Menstrual women don't have a fixed diet, but they should try to choose a light diet, keep a balanced diet with meat and vegetables, eat as many fruits and vegetables as possible, supplement vitamins and trace elements needed by the body, and eat something rich in protein to keep the body in a balanced state of nutrition, which is beneficial to health. At the same time, pay attention to rest during menstruation, don't overwork, try to avoid staying up late or smoking, drinking and other bad habits, avoid sexual life during menstruation, and avoid gynecological diseases. Try to keep a happy mood, exercise properly, improve physical discomfort, and let yourself spend the whole menstrual period smoothly.

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.
