Menstrual diet "taboo"
Daily drink
Tea: Menstrual blood during menstruation contains relatively high hemoglobin, plasma protein and hemoglobin, so women will lose a lot of iron after menstruation and should be supplemented with more iron. Tea contains more than 30% tannic acid, which is easy to combine with iron ions in the intestine to produce precipitation, which hinders the absorption of iron ions by intestinal mucosa; It will cause breast pain, anxiety, irritability and emotional instability, and at the same time consume vitamin B stored in the body and destroy carbohydrate metabolism.

Cold drink: people with cold menstruation should avoid drinking.
Soda: Many women like to drink carbonated drinks. During menstruation, they will feel tired and depressed, which is a sign of iron deficiency.

Even in hot summer, it is not advisable to eat cold drinks during menstruation. It is advisable to eat cooked and warm food during menstrual period, and also eat a little mutton, chicken and longan for isothermal tonic food in winter.
(3) Avoid drinking strong tea: Tea not only has certain nutritional value, but also has the function of preventing and treating diseases. However, the special physiological factors of women's menstrual period decide to avoid drinking strong tea. Because of the high caffeine content in strong tea, it stimulates the nervous and cardiovascular system, makes people excited, accelerates basal metabolism, and is prone to dysmenorrhea, prolonged menstrual period and excessive menstrual blood. At the same time, tannic acid in strong tea strongly combines with iron in food in the intestine, resulting in precipitation, hindering the absorption of iron and causing iron deficiency anemia.
