You can't drink alcohol because it excites the nerves and interferes with the endocrine system, resulting in endocrine disorders, irregular vaginal bleeding, or a decrease in the amount of menstruation. The first thing you need to do is to take care of yourself during the period of menstruation, not to stay up all night, and to avoid emotional stress and anxiety, because during the period of menstruation, estrogen and progesterone content is relatively low, and emotions are prone to fluctuations, and some women may cause premenstrual tension syndrome. During menstruation, avoid drinking alcohol, coffee, strong tea, chocolate and other foods and beverages that stimulate the nerves. During menstruation, you should pay attention to hot compresses on the lower abdomen to avoid the lower abdomen from getting cold, and you can drink brown sugar and ginger water, which can help the discharge of menstrual blood.

Dietary precautions during menstruation are:

1, eat more food to promote blood circulation

Within the menstrual period, you should eat more white onion, fungus, peanuts, walnuts, jujubes, cinnamon, roses. If you accidentally eat cold food or can't help but eat ice during menstruation, you can drink more brown sugar boiled ginger to balance the blood circulation in the body and promote blood flow.

2, eat more calcium-rich food

Research has found that a large intake of calcium and vitamin D in women can help reduce the risk of PMS. Women should consume 1,200 milligrams of calcium per day and 700 international units of vitamin D. They should eat plenty of low-fat milk, cheese, yogurt, fortified orange and soy milk, salmon and vitamin D-fortified milk, and get plenty of sunshine.　　

3, do not miss breakfast

In order to avoid feeling particularly hungry, three meals a day should be on time, and breakfast in particular should not be missed. If you're feeling blue in the premenstrual period, then missing any meal is bound to lead to large fluctuations in blood sugar and aggravate PMS.

4, eat more fiber and lean protein

Eat more brown rice, oats and barley bread and other whole grains, eat more lean protein and a variety of fruits and vegetables. Fiber helps the body remove excess estrogen. Eating more vegetables, beans, whole grains, buckwheat, and foods such as barley (which is not only rich in fiber, but also contains a lot of magnesium) allows you to consume more vitamins B1 and B2, which are key to preventing PMS.

5, eat less sugar

Sweets can lead to estrogen and progesterone disorders, which in turn reduces the level of serotonin in the brain, leading to emotional instability, more prone to anxiety, triggering PMS. Experts recommend eating less or no sweets, drinking more water and eating some fresh fruit.
