1. Alcohol
Alcohol depletes the body's vitamins and minerals. Excessive drinking can disrupt carbohydrate metabolism and produce excess estrogen, leading to an early period and heavy flow.
2. Watermelon
Women should absolutely not eat watermelon during their period. Although watermelon contains various nutrients beneficial to health, it is considered a cold food in nature. Therefore, it is best to avoid it during menstruation. Consuming it during this time can likely cause symptoms like menstrual cramps and irregular periods.

3. Tea
Women lose a significant amount of iron after their period and should supplement it. Tea contains more than 30% tannic acid, which easily binds with iron ions in the intestines to form precipitates, hindering the intestinal mucosa's absorption of iron. It can also cause breast tenderness and further deplete the body's stored vitamin B, disrupting carbohydrate metabolism.
4. Caffeinated beverages
These can cause breast tenderness, anxiety, irritability, and mood instability. They also further deplete the body's stored vitamin B and disrupt carbohydrate metabolism.
