Patient's question:
I didn't have much for breakfast at school, mostly just soy milk and you-tiao. The past two days, I've been on my period, so I can only drink soy milk. I want to know if it's good to drink soy milk during my period.Doctor's answer:
It's perfectly fine to drink soy milk. Soy milk will not have a negative impact on your period, so don't worry. You can also drink mung bean soup, alright, but during your period, avoid cold foods and cold items, get more rest, and don't overexert yourself. Stay in a good mood, so it's all good. In terms of diet, it should focus on boosting qi and blood, regulating your period, avoiding extreme temperatures, and preventing period pain. Three days before your period, you can drink water cooked with brown sugar and ginger, and after your period, you can drink water cooked with jujubes and eggplants.
