      Can you eat apples during menstruation? Gynecology Experts point out that you can eat apples in moderation during menstruation because apples are a warm fruit. But you cannot eat cool fruits and vegetables such as pears and watermelon.

      It is worth noting that the following foods should not be eaten during menstruation:

      1. Do not eat spicy foods and chili peppers before menstruation, and eat less fatty meats, animal oils and sweets.

      2. Many people like to drink carbonated drinks female , fatigue and lack of energy will occur during menstruation, which is a manifestation of iron deficiency. Because soda and other drinks mostly contain phosphates, they react chemically with the iron in the body, making it difficult to absorb the iron. In addition, drinking too much soda will reduce the digestive capacity and bactericidal effect of gastric acid due to the neutralization of sodium bicarbonate and gastric juice in the soda, and affect appetite.

      3. Spicy, raw, and cold foods are irritating and can easily cause pelvic vasoconstriction, resulting in low menstrual blood volume or even sudden cessation. In addition, irritating substances such as tobacco and alcohol will also have a certain impact on menstruation. If you don't pay attention to avoid these bad stimuli, in the long run, it will happen Dysmenorrhea or menstrual disorders.

      4. Women should avoid salty food before menstruation. Because salty food will increase the salt and water storage in the body, progesterone will increase before menstruation, which can easily cause edema, headaches and other phenomena. If you start eating low-salt foods 10 days before menstruation, the above symptoms will not occur.
