Beware of irregular menstruation if you eat too much watermelon

In the summer, many women often eat half a piece of ice watermelon for three meals to cool down and lose weight. It is said that watermelon is a "natural white tiger soup" and has a very good effect in cooling down. However, while it tastes good, it also brings pain to many women such as irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea, and amenorrhea.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, watermelon is a cold food and should not be eaten too much, especially frozen watermelon. Eating too much will damage the spleen and stomach, leading to poor appetite, accumulation of cold and dampness. The large amount of water contained in watermelon will also dilute the gastric juice, causing indigestion and decreased gastrointestinal resistance, leading to abdominal distension and diarrhea.

Women's constitution is yin, so although the temperature is high in summer, they should not be greedy for coolness, which will cause endocrine system disorders. Therefore, women with weak constitutions must eat less cold watermelon, especially women during menstruation.
