Combining meat and vegetables to prevent and treat functional uterine bleeding

Functional uterine bleeding may occur in any woman of childbearing age. It may be caused by various factors such as mental stress, unhealthy diet, poor physical resistance, etc., which lead to dysfunction of the hormone secretion system and irregular hormone secretion.

Generally speaking, women with functional uterine bleeding have more bleeding than usual. Some women's menstrual cycle lasts up to ten days, and some have bleeding for up to twenty days. The heavy bleeding causes women to lose too much blood, taking away a lot of iron needed by the body, resulting in iron deficiency. The body begins to weaken, and in severe cases, anemia may occur, and even dangerous conditions require immediate blood transfusion.

Iron is an essential trace element for the human body. It is not only involved in the synthesis of hemoglobin and many important enzymes, but also plays an important role in immunity, intelligence, aging and energy metabolism.

During menstruation, iron is lost more frequently, so it is very important to supplement with iron-rich foods. Fish, lean meat, animal liver, animal blood, etc. are rich in iron and have high biological activity, which is easily absorbed and utilized by the human body; while soybeans and spinach are rich in plant iron, which has a lower absorption rate.

Therefore, during menstruation, you should pay attention to the combination of meat and vegetables in your diet, and eat more animal products to meet the special needs for iron during menstruation and prevent the occurrence of functional uterine bleeding.
