One of the principles of women's beauty and fitness diet is the "periodic diet" which is consistent with the change of menstrual cycle. This is also the most important difference between men and women in maintaining beauty and strengthening diet.

Many women will have some uncomfortable symptoms in the first few days of menstrual cramps (premenstrual period), such as depression, anxiety, emotional tension, insomnia, 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 and drugs that are not only beneficial to skin care, but also beneficial to qi, soothing the liver and regulating bad emotions, 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.

When menstruation comes, there will be symptoms such as loss of appetite, backache and fatigue. At this time, it is advisable to choose foods and drugs that are beneficial to both skin beauty and "water swimming". Suitable foods and medicines are: 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.

Zhao Zhibi, an ancient man, said: "When the water travels, Geder is often cold, and cold stops its blood, making it endless and full of filth." Therefore, during menstruation, many foods with good skin-nourishing and beauty-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.

As mentioned above, you will lose some blood when your period comes. The main components of blood are plasma protein, potassium, iron, calcium, magnesium and other inorganic salts. In other words, every time you come to menstruation, you will lose some protein and inorganic salts. 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, the foods and drugs that can not only beautify the face, but also enrich the blood and promote blood circulation are: milk, eggs, quail eggs, beef and mutton, pig pancreas, Euryale ferox, spinach, cherry, longan meat, lychee meat, carrots, apples, angelica, safflower, peach blossom, prepared rhizome of rehmannia, Polygonatum and so on.
