      【Menstrual Period Diet】

      During the menstrual period, you should avoid eating raw, cold, salty and spicy foods, such as ice cream, pears, peppers, cinnamon, etc., and drink more warm drinks that promote blood circulation, such as brown sugar water, ginger tea, etc.

      Ingest foods with blood-enhancing functions, such as red dates, lotus seeds, Sichuan clams, etc. You can boil them into nourishing porridge and drink it before going to bed. It can not only promote blood circulation and relieve menstrual discomfort, but also nourish blood and Qi, and make your skin rosy.

      In addition, the lack of iron, calcium, zinc and other trace elements in the body is also the reason for the dull skin color during menstrual period. Appropriate amounts of trace elements can be taken orally or injected to supplement the body's needs.
