Hello, I'm Ruan Guangfeng, master of nutrition and food safety, China Agricultural University, and also a nutritionist.
Usually, a lot of female friends around me would ask me a question: "teacher Ruan, can brown sugar water cure dysmenorrhea? Why don't you feel so painful after drinking it?"? "
Don't worry. Today, we'll talk about the treatment of dysmenorrhea with brown sugar water.
There are a variety of brown sugar products on the market, which have been popular with people.
However, there is also a saying on the Internet that drinking brown sugar water during the physiological period is meaningless. What is the truth?
I will say in three points:
1. Brown sugar does not help to relieve dysmenorrhea.
Brown sugar is extracted from sugarcane. The biggest difference between brown sugar and white sugar is that the refining degree is lower than that of white sugar.
Brown sugar is a kind of sugar that is obtained after sugarcane is juiced, refined and purified initially, or dried directly without refining and purification, so it is also called original sucrose.
The main component of brown sugar is sucrose, which also contains a small amount of fructose and glucose. The total sugar content is 96.6%.
The trace elements in brown sugar are slightly higher, but there is not much difference.
2. Brown sugar does not supplement iron.
It is true that there is a small amount of iron in brown sugar, but the iron in brown sugar is non heme iron, and the absorption rate is very low. Moreover, the iron content of every 100 grams of brown sugar is only 2.2 mg. No matter from the iron content or absorption rate, brown sugar is not the best choice.
However, many girls will say: when I drink some brown sugar water during my physiological period, it will really feel more comfortable and less painful.
How can this be explained?
3. It's comfortable after drinking, maybe it's just placebo effect.
In fact, there is no "pain killer" in brown sugar. It doesn't stop the pain.
The reason why you will feel more comfortable and less painful after drinking is that on the one hand, the temperature of hot water may promote vasodilation and make people feel more comfortable.
On the other hand, sugar in sugar water can stimulate the body to secrete dopamine, making the body feel happy and less painful.
In addition, a large part of it may only be your psychological role.
Because you think that drinking brown sugar water can relieve pain. When drinking brown sugar water, you will give yourself psychological hints, and you will feel less pain.
In general, brown sugar water has no magical effect on relieving menstrual discomfort.
After all, brown sugar is all sugar. It's easy to gain weight if you drink too much. It's not good for your health. If you want to control your weight, you should take it easy.
Today, I'll share with you about brown sugar water.
