Introduction
"Coming of age" usually refers to the onset of menstruation. Generally, eating lychee during menstruation does not affect the color of menstrual blood. Consuming it in moderation can even help supplement nutrients, but attention should be paid to the manner of consumption. In daily life, it is acceptable to eat lychee in moderation during the menstrual period. At the same time, one should maintain a balanced diet, drink plenty of warm water, keep regular作息 (作息 should be translated as作息 here, but since it's within an HTML context and likely refers to "rest patterns" or "daily routine"), and avoid excessive fatigue to maintain physical stability during menstruation.

  "Coming of age" usually refers to menstruation. Generally speaking, eating lychees during menstruation will not affect the color of menstrual blood. Eating in moderation can also supplement nutrition, but attention should be paid to the way of consumption. Detailed analysis is as follows:

  The color of menstrual blood is mainly related to the duration of blood staying in the body, the amount of bleeding, and the degree of blood oxidation. It usually appears dark red, bright red, or brown. These changes are determined by physiological mechanisms and are not related to eating lychees. Lychees contain nutrients such as vitamins and carbohydrates. Eating lychees in moderation during menstruation merely provides energy and nutrition to the body, without affecting the production or discharge process of menstrual blood, so it will not naturally change the color of menstrual blood.

  If excessive lychees are consumed during menstruation, it may cause physical discomfort due to gastrointestinal discomfort, but this discomfort is not associated with the color of menstrual blood. Even if changes in menstrual blood color occur, they are mostly normal physiological fluctuations during menstruation, not caused by lychees. Therefore, there is no need to worry about eating lychees affecting the color of menstrual blood.

  In daily life, it is acceptable to eat lychees in moderation during menstruation, while also maintaining a balanced diet, drinking more warm water, keeping regular sleep patterns, and avoiding excessive fatigue to maintain a stable physical condition during menstruation.
