Cold fruits that women should avoid during menstruation include watermelon, bamboo shoots, pears, grapefruit, bananas, and coconuts. Additionally, fruits with blood-stopping properties, such as mangoes, can hinder the intestinal mucosa's absorption of iron ions and are therefore unsuitable. Fruits like persimmons, hawthorns, and blueberries should also be avoided during menstruation. Papaya helps reduce waste accumulation in the body, while apples promote metabolism and help reduce fat.
