Patient's question:
A 24-year-old woman has recently been feeling quite tired and has noticed that her body is not feeling healthy. Could this be due to this illness? Please ask: What should I eat during my period to increase menstrual flow?Doctor's answer:
You are mainly lacking in qi and blood, so you can eat some foods that replenish qi and blood, such as: Chinese yam, jujubes, and poria. These traditional Chinese medicines can nourish the liver and kidneys, enrich blood, and boost qi. Cooking these ingredients with black chicken or ribs into a soup can help nourish the bones, regulate blood, and improve complexion. You can also eat more red and black foods, such as jujubes, red beans, brown sugar, black chicken, and sesame seeds. However, be mindful of controlling fat intake, as nutrients that boost qi are better absorbed when there is less fat. Additionally, regulating the spleen and stomach is essential, as their proper function is the foundation of the body's nutrient absorption.
