Women often pay more attention to their diet during their menstrual period because they are worried that improper eating may affect their menstrual cycle. I've heard before that during menstruation, people can't eat mangoes, which makes many women afraid to eat mangoes. So, can we eat mangoes during menstruation?
You can eat mangoes during your menstrual period without affecting your period, but the premise is that eating mangoes will not cause allergies. If you are already allergic to mangoes, it is not recommended to eat mangoes at any time. Some people believe that mangoes should not be eaten during menstruation, claiming that mangoes have a hemostatic effect. Eating mangoes during menstruation can lead to a decrease in menstrual flow and may even trigger uterine fibroids. However, this claim has no scientific basis.
Related studies have shown that mangiferin contained in mangoes can inhibit platelet aggregation, indicating that mangoes have no hemostatic effect at all and have the opposite effect. In addition, neither traditional Chinese medicine nor Western medicine has a saying that eating mango to stop bleeding. So, during menstruation, you can eat mangoes, but don't eat too much to avoid increasing the burden on your digestive system.
During menstruation, women often feel relatively weak and their ability to resist diseases decreases. However, mangoes contain vitamins, calcium, and potassium, which are beneficial to women's health. Therefore, eating mangoes during menstruation is not only beneficial but also beneficial to the body.
