- Dark Chocolate
Now you no longer need an excuse to indulge. Not only does dark chocolate satisfy your sweet tooth during your period, but it’s high in potassium which helps your muscles to function, ideal for when those cramps come!
2. Peanut Butter
When that sudden hunger strikes, peanut butter is the perfect solution for snacking. Just a couple of tablespoons will fill you up with protein, healthy fats and fibre. Plus, peanut butter is full of vitamin e which helps with cramping and inflammation.
- Eggs
Whether you like them scrambled or sunny-side up, eggs are a great way to fight PMS. Vitamin D, B6 and E have been proven to help reduce the symptoms of the cycle, and luckily, eggs are full of them.
- Leafy greens
There’s no better time to start on the health hype than before or during your period. Leafy green vegetables like kale and broccoli are packed with calcium which help to relieve muscle tension during cramping.
- Ginger
It’s time to get drinking! Ginger kills two birds with one stone. It helps to relieve the inflammation and pain associated with period cramps, and is often used to soothe upset stomachs – a symptom many experience during this time of the month.
- Pineapple
Manganese, copper, vitamin C, B1, B6… name it, it’s probably in it. The vitamins in pineapple help to relax your muscles, making a great solution for combatting menstrual cramps.
- Banana
Bananas might be the answer to calming down those menstrual cramps. Packed with potassium, they can help prevent muscle pains and fight that bloated feeling. It’s a win win in our eyes!
- Salmon
If you’re still struggling with the cramps, try adding salmon into your meals. Just to name a few benefits, salmon is rich in fatty acids which helps with menstrual cramps, it’s a source of vitamin D which helps absorb calcium (a mineral that maintains muscle), and filled with B6 which may stop those moods from swinging.
- Water.
We’re advocates of staying hydrated anyway – water is essential for your body to function! But drinking even more water during this time of the month can help out with both the bloated belly and cramps.
If you’re not a fan of the taste, try infusing different fruits and herbs like lemon, strawberry, and mint, into your water.
