The emergence of dysmenorrhea has caused great distress to many female patients. We should pay attention to treating it according to our own situation, especially in daily life where dietary adjustments play an important role.
Dietary regulation for dysmenorrhea
1. Diet should be light: Patients with dysmenorrhea should have a light and easily digestible diet 3-5 days before menstruation; During menstruation, you can eat some sour food, such as pickled Chinese cabbage and vinegar, to relieve pain. In addition, drinking a cup of hot milk with honey before going to bed every night can also alleviate menstrual pain, while vitamin B6 can stabilize emotions, help sleep, and thus alleviate abdominal pain.
2. Eating blood nourishing foods: Patients with dysmenorrhea should pay attention to diversification in their daily diet. They can often consume vegetables and fruits that have the function of regulating qi and promoting blood circulation, such as coriander, carrots, oranges, ginger, etc. People with weak health and insufficient blood should eat foods that supplement qi, blood, and liver and kidney, such as chicken, duck, fish, eggs, milk, fish, beans, and other blood tonifying drugs. During physiological days, attention should be paid to keeping warm, resting, strengthening nutrition, and avoiding emotional changes as much as possible. Sexual activity should be prohibited during physiological days.
3. Eating Egg Yolk: Singapore nutritionists point out that foods such as fish, egg yolk, and artificial butter are rich in vitamin D. Women need to consume enough vitamin D to ensure bone health. If they consume less, the probability of chronic pain increases, especially for pregnant women, breastfeeding women, and elderly women who consume enough vitamin D every day to alleviate chronic pain.
4. Taking vitamins: Many patients rarely experience physiological pain after consuming an appropriate amount of vitamins and minerals every day. Therefore, it is recommended to take a combination of vitamins and minerals. Low calcium content, can be taken several times a day.
5. Supplement minerals: Calcium, potassium, and magnesium minerals can also help alleviate menstrual pain. Experts have found that women who take calcium have less dysmenorrhea than those who take calcium. Magnesium is also important because it can help the body effectively absorb calcium. Please increase your intake of calcium and magnesium before and during menstruation.
