Women's diet during menstruation is very important, because a little carelessness may lead to an increase in menstrual flow or an increase in dysmenorrhea. And if the weather is particularly hot, everyone will want to eat watermelon to clear away heat and reduce fire, but many women don't know if they can eat watermelon after menstruation, and can they eat watermelon during menstruation?
First, can I eat watermelon during menstruation?
Although watermelon has the functions of clearing away heat, relieving summer heat and quenching thirst, it is also rich in amino acids, sugar and water, which can supplement a lot of nutrients for women. However, it is forbidden to eat cold food during menstruation. One is that it is inconvenient to digest, and the other is that it will damage the yang in the body, leading to internal cold, which will cause menstrual blood to stagnate due to cold, which will lead to poor operation. At the same time, the blood circulation will become worse due to the stimulation of temperature, and then blood clots are more likely to appear. This may lead to dysmenorrhea, or less menstrual blood. Therefore, during menstruation, it is recommended not to eat watermelon.
Second, fruits that are not suitable for menstruation

Pear has the function of clearing away lung heat, but it is also one of the cold fruits, and women with cold constitution are not suitable for eating. Especially after eating pears during menstruation, it will not only lead to increased inflammation and abdominal pain, but also increase menstrual blood volume, which may cause anemia in women because of excessive bleeding.
Step 2: bananas
During menstruation, most women are afraid of cold, and their bodies are in a cold state. At this time, the loss of menstrual blood volume will also lead to iron deficiency in the body. Therefore, although bananas are nutritious, they are also cold fruits. If you eat bananas, it will not only cause abdominal pain, but also lead to diarrhea in women, which will make the iron loss in the body faster.
3.pomegranate
Pomegranate is also a cold fruit, so it is not recommended for women to eat it during menstruation, which is easy to cause stomach pain after eating it.
