Mechanical anti-inflammatory effects help red apple tea become popular
According to nutritionist Morgan Pearson (USA), red apple tea contains many natural plant compounds such as flavonoids and polysaccharide, which have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Inflammation is the main cause of uterine contractions during menstruation. In theory, these compounds can help soothe inflammatory reactions and provide a more pleasant feeling," said Ms. Pearson.
In traditional Chinese medicine, red apples are considered a "hypertensive, sedative" food, often used in tea or soup to help stabilize the body of women during menstruation. However, experts note that there is currently no clinical study proving that red apple tea really relieve menstrual cramps, mainly having a relaxing effect and supporting blood circulation.
Supports healthy blood and reduces fatigue after menstruation
According to Dr. Elizabeth Barnes, a nutritionist at the University of South Florida (USA), red apples contain iron, vitamin C and antioxidants, which are important components that help produce red blood cells. Maintaining healthy blood will help women feel less tired during menstruation, Ms. Barnes shared.
Some laboratory studies have also shown that the active ingredients in red apples can stimulate bone marrow to form red blood cells, supporting the process of blood regeneration after iron loss during menstruation. In addition, warm tea helps increase blood circulation, reduce the feeling of cramps in the abdomen and relax the body.
However, experts recommend consuming red apple tea in moderation and not overusing it. Drinking too much can cause bloating or mild indigestion, especially in people with sensitive digestive systems.
Advice for women during menstruation
Red apple tea can be a healthy choice, helping to relax and improve blood circulation. Although not a "menstrual cramps' reliever", this tea can gently support the body, especially when combined with a diet rich in iron, reasonable rest and avoid stress.
Morgan Pearson concludes: Sometimes, a cup of warm tea is not only a way for women to feel more comfortable, but also a way for women to spend time listening to themselves.
