Can I eat mangoes during my menstrual period?
I have a friend who is currently menstruating and really wants to eat mangoes, but we are unsure whether mangoes have any effect on menstruation. Is it okay for her to eat them?

In general, it is acceptable to eat mangoes in moderation during menstruation.
Mangoes are rich in nutrients such as vitamins A and C, and fiber, which are beneficial to the body. Vitamin A helps maintain healthy skin, vitamin C boosts immunity, and fiber supports the normal functioning of the digestive system. These nutrients can help women maintain good physical condition during their menstrual period. Therefore, women can eat mangoes during menstruation.
However, mangoes are slightly cold in nature, and excessive consumption may cause uterine contractions, leading to abdominal pain or worsening menstrual discomfort. Thus, it is recommended that women consume mangoes in moderation during their menstrual period and avoid overeating. At the same time, women are advised to maintain good lifestyle habits during menstruation, eat more fruits and vegetables such as tomatoes, potatoes, and grapes, and avoid eating spicy and irritating foods. It is also important to ensure adequate sleep, maintain a regular routine, avoid staying up late, and avoid excessive fatigue. Women should also pay attention to hygiene during menstruation, avoid bacterial invasion of the vagina, and prevent infection symptoms.
In daily life, it is recommended to consume mangoes in moderation while maintaining good lifestyle habits and paying attention to one's physical and mental well-being.
