Menstruation is the most vulnerable time for women, so we must pay attention to supplementing nutrition. Here, Tesfu will introduce you to the precautions of diet during menstruation.

Avoid salty food before menstruation:

Salty food will increase the salt and water storage in the body. Before menstruation, progesterone will increase, which is prone to edema and headache. Those who are restless, constipated and have low back pain before menstruation should eat a lot of foods that promote intestinal peristalsis, such as raw vegetables and tofu, to adjust their discomfort.

Eat more appetizers at the beginning:

During this time, I often feel low back pain and don't think about diet. At this time, I might as well eat more appetizing and digestible foods, such as dates, noodles and barley porridge. Spicy and cold food is irritating, and it is easy to cause pelvic vasoconstriction, resulting in too little menstrual blood or even sudden stop, so you should eat less.

Make up for protein in the medium term:

During this time, you should eat nutritious and digestible food to supplement nutrients. Drinking more water and eating more vegetables can keep your stool smooth. Take enough protein, eat more high-protein foods such as meat, eggs, tofu and soybeans at lunch and dinner to supplement the nutrients lost during menstruation.

You can eat some foods rich in B vitamins such as walnuts, cashews and dried beans between meals. Avoid drinking coffee and tea, because such caffeinated drinks will increase anxiety and anxiety, and you can drink barley tea and mint tea instead.

Can replenish blood after menstruation:

After menstruation, you need to supplement foods containing protein, iron, potassium, sodium, calcium and magnesium, such as meat, animal liver, eggs and milk. Women with massive blood loss should take more spinach, candied dates, red vegetables, raisins and other foods to replenish blood. Deliberately eating sweets during menstruation can not only improve the symptoms of menstrual discomfort, but may affect the hormone balance in the body and aggravate the uncomfortable feeling because of the unstable blood sugar.

Dietary maintenance during menstruation seems simple, but it is not easy to stick to it. Steff reminds female friends that in order to be healthy, they must control their mouths and eat beautifully.
