Vitamin D supplementation can effectively relieve dysmenorrhea

Dysmenorrhea troubles many women, seriously affecting their normal life and work and causing many inconveniences. Patients can relieve the pain by supplementing vitamin D.

1. The role of vitamin D

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that can relieve chronic pain. Women can relieve dysmenorrhea by taking foods rich in vitamin D. Studies have shown that women need to maintain a vitamin D content of 75 mg to 99 mg per kilogram of body weight to ensure bone health and resist pain. If the vitamin D content is less than 25 mg per kilogram of body weight, the chance of women suffering from chronic pain will increase significantly.

2. Main sources of vitamin D

According to research, the yolk has a higher content of vitamin D, while the egg white does not contain vitamin D. It should be noted that the best way to eat eggs is to boil them in water, and do not overcook them. Generally, the eggs should be placed in boiling water for 5-7 minutes before being taken out for consumption to avoid damaging the nutrients in them for too long. And when eating eggs, you should chew them slowly, which helps digestion and absorption of nutrients such as vitamin D. In addition, eggs can also be eaten with motherwort and corydalis, which have better effects on promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis and relieving dysmenorrhea. The specific dietary treatment directions are:

Take 30 grams of motherwort, 15 grams of Yuanhu, and put them into a casserole together with 2 eggs. Add appropriate amount of water and cook together. After the eggs are cooked, remove the eggshells and put them into the pot to cook again to ensure that the juice can better penetrate into the eggs. The eggs and the soup can be taken together.
