Women in their forties have entered middle age, and some may experience discomfort during menopause, such as menstrual irregularities. During this stage, it is important to rest and increase dietary nutrition accordingly. So, what should a 40 year old woman eat during her menstrual period?
1. Foods containing estrogen. At the age of forty, women have already entered middle age and may experience menstrual disorders due to insufficient secretion of estrogen in the body. Therefore, daily diet should increase foods with high estrogen content. Generally, legumes are rich in soy isoflavones, as well as nutrients such as estrogen in black sesame, walnuts, peanuts, corn, etc. Women can arrange their consumption reasonably during their menstrual period or in their daily diet.
2. Foods that promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. When women reach the age of forty, they often experience symptoms such as breast swelling, breast hyperplasia, poor complexion, fatigue, palpitations, and other symptoms of qi stagnation and blood stasis. Women of this age should pay attention to dietary nutrition and eat more foods that promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. For example, red sugar ginger juice, red dates, longan, and lotus seed soup, wolfberry and angelica soup, rose tea, and other foods can not only promote smooth menstrual blood flow, but also nourish and protect the skin.
3. Foods to prevent uterine coldness. Daily diet should include foods that warm the uterus and body, such as lamb, chicken, dog meat, fungus, carrots, black beans, black sesame seeds, red dates, longan, walnuts, etc., which are all warm and nourishing foods. Long term consumption can prevent uterine coldness. Forty year old women are not as strong as young women, and their physical fitness may also decline during this stage. Eating moderate amounts of food that can prevent uterine coldness is beneficial for menstruation.
