Watermelon
Watermelon is one of the most cold fruits. Women should not eat watermelon during menstruation. Although watermelon contains a lot of water, a variety of amino acids and sugars, and has the effect of clearing away heat, relieving summer heat, and refreshing and quenching thirst, watermelon is cold and slippery, also known as "cold melon".

Banana
Eating bananas during menstruation can cause dysmenorrhea. Banana is a fruit that many women like very much because of its unique aroma and digestive and laxative effects. However, it is best not to eat too many bananas during menstruation, because bananas are cold foods. When women eat too many cold foods during menstruation, the blood will be stimulated by temperature changes, which will lead to poor circulation and prone to blood clots. Causes dysmenorrhea.
Persimmons
It is best for women to eat less persimmons during menstruation. Because persimmons are cold in nature, they can stimulate uterine contractions. Uterine contractions will greatly reduce menstrual flow, prolong menstrual periods, and even cause menstrual pain in severe cases.
2. Chilled fruits
Even warm fruits are not suitable for eating out of the refrigerator. If you eat ice cream during your period, the body temperature will drop, which will stimulate the contraction of the uterus to become worse, making it difficult to discharge menstrual blood, thus forming blood clots. At this time, the uterus has to increase its contraction strength to discharge blood, resulting in uncomfortable symptoms such as dysmenorrhea.

Women should eat light and easy-to-digest foods during menstruation. Hot and sour food can cause digestive disorders or stimulate abnormal menstrual blood discharge. Such as sour plums, sand fruits, immature sour fruits, etc.
