Fruits to Avoid During Periods

Experts say that women should avoid eating cold foods during menstruation.To ensure the blood flows smoothly, it must be in a "warm" state to facilitate its expulsion. Once cold food is consumed, the temperature change can cause poor circulation and even clots, leading to cramps. Dr. Liu points out that not only should cold foods like ice be avoided, but also some cool-natured foods such as winter melon,

eggplant,okra, cucumber,watermelon, and other similar vegetables and fruits,crab, fresh water snail,kelp, mushroom,tender bamboo shoots, oranges,pears, tangerines,mangoes, and other sour fruits, as well as spicy and hot foods like fried food,chili, pepper,moutan, should also be avoided during menstruation to prevent poor blood flow.During menstruation, one should consume more white onion, dried black fungus,peanuts, walnuts,hawthorns, dates,

longan,roses, and other warming foods.If cold food is accidentally eaten during menstruation, drinking red sugar and ginger soup can help balance the body's blood circulation."Many women believe that they should eat warm foods like jujubes or donkey-hide gelatin to replenish their blood during menstruation,""but this is a vague and incorrect view," says Dr. Pan Chunlian, a student of Mr. He Jiayan from the "He Family Gynecology."Before menstruation, it's important to regulate qi and blood; hot foods should be avoided. Ironwood can be taken. Pears,Japanese yam, Angelica,lotus root, kelp,and bamboo shoots can also be consumed. During menstruation, yang energy prevails as blood flows downward; thus, avoid overly warm foods like jujubes or donkey-hide gelatin. After menstruation, yin and blood need replenishment. Nourishing soups such as those made with black chicken and goji berries can be consumed,as well as Japanese yam,

pears,and lotus root.Black foods like black fungus, black beans,

black fish,and mud carp can also be consumed.Chinese yam(strengthen the spleen and stomach)Angelica root,Lotus root(supplement iron), kelp (relieve phlegm, promote urination, relieve constipation).

During menstruation, yin blood leaks downward while yang qi is excessively, so one should avoid eating yang-warm foods like jujubes or donkey-hide gelatin.

After menstruation, nourish yin and replenish blood to make up for the lost qi and blood.You can cook some nourishing soups, such as black chicken with wolfberry,jujubes, etc., and you can also eat suckling pig, Chinese yam, lotus root; of course, it's best to take herbal medicines that nourish yin and qi. At the same time, you can also eat more "black" foods during this period, such asblack fungus,black beans, black fish,or mudfish.,Black fish Crayfish ..
