Can women eat glutinous rice balls during menstruation

Can you eat glutinous rice balls during menstruation? Tangyuan is one of Ningbo’s famous snacks and one of my country’s representative snacks with a long history. It is said that glutinous rice balls originated in the Song Dynasty. At that time, a novel food became popular in various places, which was filled with various fruit baits, and the outside was rolled into balls with glutinous rice flour. After being cooked, it tasted sweet, delicious and interesting. Because this kind of glutinous rice ball floats and sinks when cooked in a pot, it was first called "Floating Yuanzi". Later, in some areas, "Floating Yuanzi" was renamed Yuanxiao.

Under normal circumstances, glutinous rice balls can be eaten during menstruation. Diabetics should not eat it; children, the elderly, and people with weak digestion should not eat too much. In addition, women need to keep warm during menstruation, ensure a balanced diet, avoid cold and spicy foods, reduce strenuous exercise, and live a regular life.

How to take care of yourself during menstruation? During menstruation, due to pelvic congestion, menstrual blood from the uterus descends, blood chambers open, resistance weakens, and mood swings are prone to occur. If care is not taken, it may lead to gynecological diseases, so menstrual hygiene should be paid attention to. 1. Moderate work and rest. Blood loss during menstruation can lead to loss of qi and blood, and the body is susceptible to fatigue. Therefore, it is not suitable to do work that exceeds physical strength or do strenuous exercise. You should ensure adequate sleep and maintain sufficient energy. 2. Adaptation to cold and temperature: During menstruation, the uterine qi and blood are empty, so you should keep warm and avoid catching cold, wading in rain or cold water, swimming, etc. to prevent menstrual disorders, dysmenorrhea, vaginal discharge and miscellaneous gynecological diseases. 3. Adjust your diet. During menstruation, it is not advisable to overeat spicy, fragrant, dry, and damaging foods to avoid depleting yin blood or causing excessive blood flow due to heat. However, it is also not advisable to overeat raw or cold foods to prevent cold stagnation of blood vessels and poor menstruation.
