(1) Dietary Nutrition During the Honeymoon Period. During the honeymoon, social engagements increase for both partners, and physiological changes occur. Frequent sexual activity, sometimes once or even multiple times a day, leads to significant nutrient consumption.
(2) Honeymoon Diet Should Be Rich. The physiological changes and various influences during the honeymoon require proper dietary arrangements to maintain good health. Otherwise, it may harm the body and be unfavorable for fertility. Newlyweds should consider their honeymoon diet two weeks before the wedding, diversify food choices, enrich the wedding menu, and ensure sufficient nutrition for physical health and a joyful honeymoon.
(3) Nutrients to Supplement. Proteins are essential for life. A lack of protein can impair normal bodily functions and health, leading to illness, aging, or even a shorter lifespan. Newly married couples may lack high-quality lysine, which affects sexual activity and the quality of sperm or eggs. During the honeymoon, it is important to supplement high-quality protein. Consuming more high-protein foods can help heal vaginal trauma after the hymen breaks. Vitamins are indispensable for maintaining metabolism. Vitamin E adjusts gonadal function and enhances egg vitality. Vitamin C strengthens the immune system, combats fatigue, and has antiviral and detoxifying effects. Vitamin supply is particularly important for newlyweds, as a lack of Vitamins C and E can lead to reduced immunity, endurance, fertility, and even infertility. During the honeymoon, it is advisable to consume more fresh vegetables, fruits, animal livers, and vegetable oils. Inorganic salts and trace elements are present in small amounts in the body but are essential for its composition. They help blood coagulation, maintain normal myocardial activity, participate in oxidation processes, regulate metabolism, maintain acid-base balance, and alleviate fatigue. Newly married couples can consume kelp, black fungus, bone broth, and brown sugar to replenish inorganic salts lost due to sexual activity and relieve physical fatigue. P003
