【Efficacy and Function】
The reason why black fungus can nourish the blood is because it has the highest iron content among all foods, making it extremely effective in treating iron-deficiency anemia. Every 100g of black fungus contains as much as 185mg of iron, which is 20 times higher than spinach and about 7 times higher than pork liver. Spinach is known for its high iron content among vegetables, and pork liver has the highest iron content among animal-based foods. Therefore, the iron content of black fungus is unmatched by any other food ingredient.
The best way to consume black fungus for blood nourishment is through black fungus and red date soup. It is a highly recommended traditional Chinese medicine soup for spleen nourishment and blood replenishment. Black fungus and red date soup has the effects of tonifying the spleen, replenishing blood, and regulating menstruation, making it very suitable for people with blood deficiency and spleen deficiency, especially for women with excessive menstrual flow.
【Secrets of Menstrual Care】
During the menstrual period, as well as the three days before and after menstruation, many girls like to eat cold and cooling foods. Little do they know that this can lead to reduced menstrual flow or increased pain during menstruation. During the menstrual period, it is important to avoid these cold and cooling foods: snails, crabs (cooling foods), bamboo shoots, pears (cooling foods).
During the week before menstruation, the diet should be light, easy to digest, and nutritious. You can eat more legumes, fish, and other high-protein foods, as well as increase the intake of leafy vegetables, fruits, and water to maintain regular bowel movements and reduce pelvic congestion.
Eat more high-fiber foods such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, whole wheat, brown rice, and oats. Adequate intake of high-fiber foods can promote the excretion of hormones, increase the magnesium content in the blood, and regulate menstruation while calming the nerves.
