Introduction
There is no significant discomfort during menstruation, and if there is no heatiness reaction after consuming lychee normally, moderate consumption can help replenish energy and vitamins. The soft flesh is easily absorbed and does not burden the body, making it a suitable choice for daily fruit consumption. However, if you tend to experience symptoms of heatiness such as dry mouth and constipation during menstruation, or if you have elevated blood sugar levels, eating lychee may exacerbate these discomforts.

In general, individuals with a neutral body constitution can moderately consume lychees during their menstrual period, while those with a heat-prone constitution or specific symptoms should avoid them. Detailed explanations are as follows:

For those who experience no obvious discomfort during menstruation and have no history of heatiness after consuming lychees, moderate consumption can help replenish energy and vitamins. The soft flesh of lychee is easily absorbed and generally does not burden the body, making it a suitable choice as a daily fruit.

However, for individuals prone to heat-related symptoms such as dry mouth and throat or constipation during menstruation, or those with elevated blood sugar levels, consuming lychees may exacerbate discomfort. Due to their high sugar content, excessive intake of lychees may also affect appetite. In sensitive individuals, abnormal menstrual flow may even occur. In such cases, lychee consumption should be avoided.

Diet during menstruation should be adjusted according to individual constitution. If any discomfort occurs after eating lychees, consumption should be stopped immediately and symptoms monitored. If symptoms persist, consultation with a healthcare professional is recommended to ensure healthy dietary practices during the menstrual period.
