I have never heard of such a thing and have done both several times over the course of my life.

Seriously??? Must be an old wives tale although not one I have heard before. Yes it is fine to drink cold water- or any cold drink for that matter- and eat any type of cold food you want when you are on your period. I have been doing it for 15 years and haven't run into any problems yet. There is nothing I know of that you cannot do or eat while menstruating, regardless of all the stories that are around.

It's ok to drink cold water and eat ice cream. It won't effect your cycle. Make sure your diet includes iron. Beets are a good source. Lack of iron can screw with your body.

You have to drink more water through the course of your period so I would say this is false I hope this helped you xx
