Precautions during Menstruation

Women often feel tired and have poor appetite during menstruation. It is best to choose fresh, light, and easily digestible food during this time.
2. Avoid Cold Food during Menstruation
Eating cold food during menstruation can not only harm the spleen and stomach, but also cause insufficient menstrual flow and even dysmenorrhea;
Even in the hot summer, women should avoid eating ice cream and other cold drinks during menstruation. Warm and hot food is more suitable during this period, which promotes smooth circulation of qi and blood.

Eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, peanuts, plant oils, and honey, which are foods that help with bowel movement;
Drink more water to aid digestion, ensure smooth bowel movements, and prevent constipation during menstruation.
