      a lot of female I'm particularly afraid of the cold during my menstrual period. What's going on? This is mainly due to low iron levels in the blood. Women lose blood every month. Failure to pay attention to iron supplementation may cause iron deficiency. anemia

      Iron is the main component in the production of hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is an important functional substance in red blood cells and shoulders the important task of transporting oxygen in the body. If the iron content in the body is reduced, and the hemoglobin is reduced, the oxygen transport will be reduced, the absorbed nutrients will not be fully oxidized, and the heat generated will not be enough, and you will feel cold hands and feet. Especially during menstruation, a lot of iron is also lost during blood loss, so you feel particularly cold during menstruation.

      You should consciously eat more iron-rich foods at ordinary times, such as animal liver, milk, soy products, egg , fish, meat, etc. In addition, you should also eat more iodine-rich foods, because the lack of thyroid hormone can also reduce the body's ability to resist cold. 》》》 Four abnormal phenomena that require medical treatment for dysmenorrhea
