Women can drink yogurt during menstruation, but it should be consumed in moderation.
Yogurt contains protein, fat, potassium, calcium, phosphorus and other nutrients, moderate consumption can supplement the nutritional needs of menstruating women. Protein in yogurt is the main nutrient for tissue formation and growth, and fat can assist the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.
However, yogurt has more acidic substances and should not be consumed in excess, and it is not recommended to drink yogurt on an empty stomach to avoid gastrointestinal discomfort. It is also not recommended to drink yogurt just taken out of the refrigerator.
During menstruation, you can also supplement some iron rich foods, such as animal liver, red dates, spinach and so on. It is also important to supplement protein-rich foods, such as lean meat, eggs, milk, and fresh fruits and vegetables, to help improve the state of weakness and help the body recover.
In addition, during menstruation, you should pay attention to a balanced diet, with a reasonable combination of coarse and fine grains, meat and vegetables. Keep the vulva clean and hygienic, and change sanitary napkins frequently.
