Women pay great attention to their diet during menstruation. So, do you know which fruits women should avoid eating during their period?
Which fruits should not be eaten during menstruation?
1. Oranges
Oranges taste good and are refreshing, making it easy to overeat. However, oranges are considered a cold-natured fruit, which is good for people with a "heaty" body constitution, but should be avoided by those with a "cold" body constitution.
2. Tangerines
Tangerines look similar to oranges on the outside. Both belong to the same category of cold-natured fruits. Therefore, just like oranges, people with a "cold" body constitution should also eat tangerines in moderation.
3. Mangoes
Mangoes are also considered a cold-natured fruit. People with a generally cool or "cold" body constitution should not eat too many, especially women who should avoid it during their period.
4. Bananas
Many people think bananas should be a heat-natured fruit, but in reality, they are cold-natured. Therefore, if one is restricted from eating cold and raw foods, bananas are also on the list.
5. Hawthorn
Hawthorn is also rich in tannic acid. Excessive consumption can lead to iron deficiency in the body and worsen menstrual discomfort. Besides women with blood stasis-type dysmenorrhea, other women may experience excessive menstrual bleeding if they consume hawthorn during their period.
