Women need to pay attention to their diet and lifestyle during menstruation, as there are many aspects that need to be avoided, especially in terms of diet. Some women lose weight by drinking coffee, which is popular among many people. But coffee is not available anytime, so can I have coffee during my period?
It is better for women to drink less or no coffee during their menstrual period, as coffee contains caffeine, which can hinder the metabolism of carbohydrates in the body and easily cause breast swelling and pain. If caffeine intake is high during menstruation, it will increase the consumption of B vitamins stored in the body.
If women drink too much coffee, it can increase their estrogen levels and worsen some gynecological diseases, such as breast swelling, gynecological tumors, and endometriosis. Coffee can also affect the number of eggs in the ovaries, accelerate the aging of various bodily functions, and cause menstrual disorders. Some women believe that drinking coffee during menstruation can alleviate menstrual pain, but only partially alleviate the symptoms of menstrual pain.
Women can drink brown sugar water or ginger boiled eggs before their menstrual period to alleviate symptoms of dysmenorrhea. If women suffer from endometritis, endometrial polyps, excessive menstrual flow, or submucosal fibroids, this method cannot be used to relieve dysmenorrhea.
