Can I eat pomelo during my menstrual period?

In general, it is acceptable to eat pomelo during menstruation, but it should be consumed in moderation.

Pomelo is rich in vitamin C, dietary fiber, potassium, calcium, and other minerals, as well as various antioxidant substances such as flavonoids. These nutrients help enhance immune function, promote intestinal motility, prevent constipation, and benefit overall health. The vitamin C in pomelo helps improve resistance to illness and reduce the risk of disease. Dietary fiber can aid intestinal movement and help prevent constipation that may occur during menstruation. The sweet and sour taste of pomelo can help improve appetite loss and stimulate hunger.

However, it should be consumed in moderation, as pomelo is considered cooling in nature and excessive consumption may cause abdominal discomfort, such as stomach pain and diarrhea. For women with cold uterus or dysmenorrhea, excessive intake of pomelo may worsen symptoms. Women with a cold body constitution or menstrual pain should reduce their pomelo consumption or avoid it altogether. During menstruation, women's bodies are more sensitive, and diet should follow the principles of being warm, easily digestible, and nutritionally balanced.
