Introduction
If the menstrual cycle is normal and there are no significant symptoms of dysmenorrhea or other menstrual discomforts, it is acceptable to consume moderate amounts of fresh or dried mulberries. The iron content in mulberries helps replenish iron that may be lost due to menstrual bleeding, thus preventing anemia. Mulberries also help enhance immunity, which can be beneficial for women experiencing a temporary decline in resistance during menstruation.
"Aunt" usually refers to menstruation. It is generally acceptable to eat mulberries during menstruation, and moderate consumption is recommended.
If the menstrual cycle is normal and there is no significant dysmenorrhea or other menstrual-related discomfort, it is acceptable to consume moderate amounts of fresh or dried mulberries. The iron content in mulberries helps replenish iron that may be deficient due to menstrual blood loss and helps prevent anemia. Mulberries also help improve immunity, and moderate consumption is beneficial to women's health during menstruation when immunity may decline.
Mulberries are not spicy or greasy foods and do not have an irritating effect on women during menstruation. During the menstrual period, women can eat mulberries in moderation, but should not consume excessive amounts at one time to avoid increasing the burden on the gastrointestinal tract. The pulp skin of mulberries is not very smooth, so it is important to ensure they are thoroughly washed before consumption to avoid gastrointestinal irritation and bacterial infection.
Women should still pay attention to staying warm during menstruation and avoid getting chilled, which may cause dysmenorrhea and other symptoms. It is also important to rest adequately and maintain personal hygiene, which contributes to health during menstruation.
