Eating raw and cold food during menstruation can hinder digestion, and can easily damage the human body's yang energy, causing internal cold. Cold stagnation can make menstrual blood flow sluggishly, resulting in too little menstrual blood, or even Dysmenorrhea . Even in the hot summer season, it is not advisable to eat cold drinks during menstruation. The diet during the menstrual period should be warm and hot. Choose foods such as kelp, jujube, sorghum rice, barley, mutton, and apples, and eat less cold and diarrheal foods such as pears, water chestnuts, water chestnuts, wax gourd, kale, and hemp seeds.

　　2. Avoid eating spicy and sour foods. Women during menstruation feel particularly tired, their digestive function is weakened, and their appetite is poor. Therefore, they should pay attention to the light and easy-to-digest and absorb foods in their diet, and avoid eating overly acidic and irritating foods, such as wild plants, sauerkraut, vinegar, chili, mustard, pepper, etc.

Iron not only participates in the synthesis of hemoglobin and many important enzymes, but also plays an important role in immunity, intelligence, aging and energy metabolism.
