It’s the first week of the month again. Not only that there are many things needed to be done and accomplished but also, it is a time the women will experience their most hated part of the month, their period. Periods are normal part of a female. It happens when a matured egg hasn’t been fertilized by a sperm. The body reacts to get rid of it that’s why there are blo0d flowing.
Most women suffer different aches and discomforts. Women usually suffer from cramps that make them weak and just wanting to stay in bed and rest.
Also, many notice the change of behavior and mood of women before and during their period. This is called the Prem3nstrual syndrome or PMS which really changes the mood of a women days before their period. Examples of mood swings one can notice are anger, irritability, depression, crying, oversensitivity, rage, sadness, etc.
According to New York City gynecologist and fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, Carol Livoti, MD
“You’ll know these emotional ups and downs are due to PMS if they start consistently a week to two weeks before your period and stop a day or two after menstruation starts.”
So boys, beware!
Now, in preparation of the period, a woman must eat these foods before the period that could really help them for lesser pains.
1. Drink Coconut Water
Since in the monthly period, women lose amounts of blo0d. Drinking coconut water beforehand can help the body to rebuild blo0d quickly. It is the fastest way to do that. Not only that, coconut water is packed with vitamins and minerals like manganese, magnesium, potassium, and calcium that could really help relieve in cramps. Choose drinking those natural one’s with no added sugar.
2. Eat Dark Chocolate
Not only that it tastes good, but also, it is one of the richest sources of magnesium on the planet. Magnesium works as a relaxation mineral that could really help in soothing cramps and other aches. It also helps the nerves and body relax.
3. Eat These Three Fruits
The three fruits that you need to eat are bananas, grapefruit, and pineapple. Why? Because bananas are rich in potassium and vitamin b6 which is known to help relieve cramps and bloating. Grapefruit, on the other hand, is rich in different vitamins and minerals like Vitamin C and E, and anti-cramp minerals like calcium, magnesium, and manganese. And the last, pineapples. The bromelain found in pineapples is an enzyme known to help relax the muscles.
4. Eat Lentils or Spinach
You need to eat these iron-rich veggies in order to restore the iron that have been lost from your body. These two veggies, lentils and spinach, are among the richest sources of iron.
Doing these suggestions will surely help women.
But, having a consultation with a doctor is still better.
