First, many women will have some uncomfortable symptoms a few days before menstruation (premenstrual period), such as depression, anxiety, emotional tension, blindness, irritability, fatigue and so on.

It is generally believed that this is related to the imbalance of estrogen and progesterone in the body. At this time, women should choose foods that are not only beneficial to skin care, but also beneficial to qi, soothing the liver and regulating bad mood, such as Chinese cabbage, grapefruit, lean pork, celery, japonica rice, duck eggs, fried atractylodes, yam, coix seed, lily, honeydew melon, wax gourd, kelp, sea cucumber, carrot, white radish, walnut kernel, black fungus and mushrooms.

Second, when menstruation comes, there will be symptoms such as loss of appetite, backache and fatigue.

At this time, it is advisable to choose foods that are beneficial to skin beauty and water swimming. Suitable foods and traditional Chinese medicines include mutton, chicken, red dates, bean curd skin, apples, coix seed, beef, milk, eggs, brown sugar, motherwort, angelica, prepared rehmannia root, peach blossom and so on.

Chinese medicine mentioned that when swimming water, it is often cold in Geder, and cold will stop the blood, which will make it endless. Therefore, during menstruation, many foods with good skin-caring effects should also be fasted, such as pears, bananas, water chestnuts, tremella, stone flowers, water chestnuts, white gourd, kale, black fungus, rabbit meat, hemp seeds and so on.

Because of this, women will lose some blood when they have menstrual cramps. The main components of blood are plasma protein and inorganic salts such as potassium, iron, calcium and magnesium. In other words, a part of protein and inorganic salts will be lost every time.

Therefore, in principle, protein, minerals and other nutrients should be supplemented and some blood-enriching drugs should be used within 1~5 days after menstruation. During this period, you can choose foods and traditional Chinese medicines that can not only benefit skin and beautify, but also enrich blood and promote blood circulation, such as milk, eggs, pigeon eggs, quail eggs, beef, mutton, pig pancreas, Gordon Euryale, spinach, cherries, longan, litchi, carrots, apples, angelica and so on.
