There is a joke that says: girls with cold hands and feet are angels with broken wings in their previous lives. When friends talk about this, many female friends just laugh it off. Little did they know that girls who are usually afraid of the cold and have cold hands and feet are due to a lack of "yang qi" in their bodies, which leads to "uterine cold". Uterine cold greatly affects female health. For friends who care about uterine health, let's take a look at what foods are good for uterine cold.
【Diet is the most reliable way to keep warm】
1. Soup that generates heat and warms the body.
Eat more soup that generates heat and warms the body, such as millet porridge, lamb soup, dates, coix seed, longan, lychee, and other foods that dispel cold and warm the body. Warm brown sugar water is also very good.
2. Foods with warming and kidney-tonifying properties.
Warming foods include beef, chicken, dog meat, deer antler, etc. Kidney-tonifying foods include cashews, yam porridge, walnuts, etc.
3. Ginger tea before meals.
Make it a habit to drink a cup of ginger tea before meals (steep a piece of ginger in hot water and drink it while hot). It can actively dispel the coldness or coldness in cold or cooling foods, and take care of your uterus in terms of diet.
4. Red dates.
For girls who have no idea what foods are good for uterine cold, it is recommended to develop a habit of eating two or three red dates every day. Let the innate deficiency be supplemented by high energy from acquired sources, and don't worry about getting too much heat. Uterine cold constitution belongs to insufficient internal heat and is not prone to symptoms of excessive heat or body heat.
5. Abalone.
According to traditional Chinese medicine, abalone is nourishing and can nourish the skin, making it the best supplement for women. In the past, the traditional Chinese medicine pills offered to queens and concubines in the imperial hospital were not mixed with honey like they are now, but with abalone juice. So women with uterine cold should often prepare some abalone dishes for themselves. In addition to the intentional supplementation in daily diet, it is also important to avoid eating raw and cold foods, and eat less foods with cooling properties such as cabbage, white radish, and green tea. The most important thing is to pay more attention to keeping warm.

【What should be paid attention to in uterine care?】
In addition to the above-mentioned dietary adjustments, the following points should be paid attention to in uterine care:
1. Actively prevent pregnancy
According to surveys, the risk of uterine diseases and harm significantly increases after three or more abortions. Repeated induced abortions can easily cause uterine cavity infection, cervical or uterine adhesions, leading to secondary infertility.
2. Avoid promiscuity
Indulging in sexual activity, especially engaging in sexual relationships with multiple partners, is detrimental to the uterus. Unclean intercourse can introduce pathogens into the uterine cavity through the vagina, causing endometrial infections.
3. Strictly prevent postpartum uterine prolapse
If you don't rest properly after childbirth and often squat or perform heavy labor, the increased abdominal pressure will cause the uterus to shift downward along the vagina.
4. Reduce high-fat foods
High-fat foods promote the production and release of certain hormones, and the formation of uterine fibroids is related to excessive stimulation of estrogen. Stick to a low-fat diet, drink more water, and follow the latest 4+1 food pyramid to obtain necessary nutrition. Avoid spicy food, alcohol, and frozen food.
5. Pay attention to observe whether menstruation and vaginal discharge are normal
If you find an increase in vaginal discharge or abnormal bleeding during menstruation, seek medical attention promptly and do relevant examinations for early detection and treatment. In order to promote the proper development of the uterus, maintain the normal ratio of uterine body to cervix, prevent the occurrence of uterine hypoplasia, and make the uterus "stand upright and stable" without tilting forward or backward.
