Although female friends have a short menstrual period, if they do not pay attention during this period, it can easily affect the health of the uterus. So do you know the preventive measures during menstruation? Let's learn about preventive measures during menstruation.
Menstrual precautions
1. Women should avoid eating salty food before menstruation. Because salty foods increase the body's salt and water storage, progesterone increases before menstruation, making it prone to edema and headaches.
Many women who enjoy drinking carbonated beverages may feel tired and weak during menstruation, which is a manifestation of iron deficiency. Due to the fact that most beverages such as soda water contain phosphates, they chemically react with iron in the body, making it difficult for iron to be absorbed. In addition, drinking more soda water can reduce the digestive capacity and bactericidal effect of gastric acid, and affect appetite, as the sodium bicarbonate in soda water neutralizes gastric juice.
3. Do not eat stimulating foods and chili peppers before menstruation, and eat less fat, animal oil, and sweets.
4. Spicy and cold food is irritant, which is easy to cause pelvic Vasoconstriction, resulting in low menstrual blood volume, or even sudden stop. In addition, stimulating substances such as tobacco and alcohol can also have a certain impact on menstruation. If not avoided, in the long run, dysmenorrhea or menstrual disorders may occur.
