Is it okay to drink coffee during menstruation?
Usually, women just shouldn't drink a lot of coffee, but if it is during menstruation, it is not recommended to drink coffee. Because girls are weak during menstruation, caffeine and pigments in coffee are very harmful to their health.

Furthermore, coffee can promote blood circulation and stimulate the nervous and cardiovascular system, which may cause symptoms such as increased menstrual flow and menstrual dysmenorrhea.

In particular, if you drink more coffee before menstruation, due to the stimulation of caffeine and pigment, it may lead to premenstrual emotional instability in women, such as anxiety, headache, breast pain and other premenstrual discomfort symptoms.

The disadvantages of drinking too much coffee during menstruation

1. Drinking coffee before and during menstruation can cause breast pain, anxiety, irritability and emotional instability, and at the same time consume vitamin B stored in the body, thus destroying carbohydrate metabolism.

2. Caffeine contained in coffee is an irritating substance, which easily stimulates the nervous and cardiovascular systems, resulting in the possibility of menstrual pain, prolonged menstrual period and excessive menstrual blood.

3. It is not good for women to drink coffee during menstruation. Because drinking coffee during menstruation will increase hormones in women, make some gynecological diseases, such as endometriosis and breast enlargement, and even affect fertility. Drinking coffee during menstruation will obviously increase the estrogen in the body, and the number of eggs in the ovary and the aging of the ovary will also accelerate the aging of all human functions.

Extended data:

In addition to coffee, you should eat less of these things during menstruation:

Chocolate (chocolate will cause more emotional instability and sugar addiction. In addition to gaining weight, it also consumes vitamin B in the body. )

Cheese food (cheese is the source of dysmenorrhea. Milk, cheese, cream, yeast milk, eggs and other foods will destroy the absorption of magnesium and cause dysmenorrhea. )

Alcohol consumes vitamin B and minerals in the body. Too much alcohol will destroy carbohydrate metabolism and produce too much estrogen. )

Cold foods (eat less cold and slippery foods such as pears, water chestnuts, water chestnuts, melon and bananas). Longan and litchi can lengthen lutein, so it will prolong menstruation. It is best not to eat them. If you want to delay menstruation, you can eat longan and litchi in the first half of menstruation, but this effect varies from person to person. )

Tea (women will lose a lot of iron after menstruation, so they should add 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, consume vitamin B stored in the body and destroy carbohydrate metabolism. )

Soda (Many women like to drink carbonated drinks. During menstruation, they will feel tired and depressed, which is a sign of iron deficiency. Because most drinks, such as soda water, contain phosphate, it will react with iron sanctions in the body, so it is difficult to absorb iron. In addition, drinking more soda will neutralize the sodium bicarbonate in soda and gastric juice, reduce the digestive ability and bactericidal effect of gastric acid, and affect appetite. )
