My Foods To Eat When Having Belly Cramps.
As a young adult I wanted to share what I do to help with my belly cramps and overall bad feelings I get during my menstrual cycle. For starters I like to sprinkle flax seeds onto certain things. Whatever you put them on is really your choice. I specifically, like to put them on noodles and more breaded foods. To explain some facts about flax seeds they have a lot of nutrients, it can help prevent cancer risks. They can also help with weight control, grinding them up sometimes is the best way to hide them in your food if you don't like the crunch of them. They don't really have a taste. sesame seeds are very similar to flax seeds. I sometimes like to combine them and grind them both together to put on simple lunches such as ramen. My second food that can be put in almost any lunch or dinner is garlic. Garlic has very little calories, and often helps with a common cold. Garlic also boosts fitness if you're an active person like me! Similar to milk garlic helps build bone strength to help your bones become stronger. Now if you're a fruit lover like me you're going to love this next food. Surprisingly, peaches help a great amount. I usually eat them when I'm grumpy and in pain. They boost my mood and help the pain go away. Berries are another source of fruit that I love having during that time of month. Berries naturally help fight off inflammation in general and can help with menstrual bloating. Berries can also help stop menstrual acne from happening. They help your arteries function like they're suppose too as well. If you really want to get creative you could always make smoothies with berries and peaches. If you love fruits like I do I always like to add other fruits in the blends. Peach ginger smoothies are one of my favourite smoothies. The ingredients of a peach ginger smoothie is 2 cups of frozen sliced peaches, 1 and 1/2 cups of buttermilk, 3 tablespoons of brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon of grated fresh ginger. Ginger like berries also, helps greatly with inflammation and can help with most stomach pains. Ginger can also help with morning sickness that a menstrual cycle can cause. A more simple smoothie I like making during my menstrual is a smoothie called the triple berry blend. portions may very depending on how you want and what taste you want more or less. I like to even them out and have 1 and 1 half cup of each berry. The berries that are added into the triple berry smoothie are blackberries, strawberries, and raspberries. Mix the berries with 1 cup of milk and ice. If you want to boost the taste of sweetness you can always add sugar. Remember you can change the amount of berries depending on what berries you like more. Just make sure to even out the portions. if you add more blackberries remember to add less of one of the other berries or even less of both to keep it even. My 4 favourite berries are strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries. I always like to explore and look of different berry smoothies to create to mix up what I have. Surprisingly, broccoli helps a lot too. I prefer my broccoli cooked but usually during my menstrual cycle I add broccoli as a side for my dinners. Now obviously these aren't the only foods that could help and what really helps someone with menstrual pains and moods very depending on the woman's body but definitely experimenting makes a huge difference in learning your own body.

My relationship advice
I as a 19 year old want to talk about relationships in general. I've been through countless toxic relationships and I stayed for a long time because it was what I was use too. I started dating at a young age and the first guy I was with was a sweetheart. When he left my life I got into a really toxic relationship that I was in for 2 and a half years and lemme tell you. You don't need to feel like you have to stay because you love him. Never stay in a relationship that is hurting you. I can promise you there are better men in the world. I've had people ask me "What if i'm too scared to leave because he'll hurt me" My best words for that is tell someone. I was harassed by my second ex for months because I wouldn't speak up. I promise you even if it's just telling a teacher you trust or a boss at work, let someone know. Later on in my life I was in a relationship for a year with a guy that wanted me to change who I was. Our personalities were completely opposite, he was chill and didn't really do much. I on the other hand, I'm very active and a lot of people would say I'm hyper. I like to make jokes and I say what I think all the time. He would always call me mean and wanted me to change to be more like him. Ladies if you're with a guy that wants you to change, walk away because he ain't worth it. You are allowed to wear what you want, do what you want, say want you want, and be however you want. My last set of advice come from my last relationship I was in for a year. This was a guy that made me feel like I wasn't enough. He's always call me clingy and annoying. Often times he'd ignore me to hang with his boys even when they'd tell him to come hang with me. When I was insecure he'd tell me that was unattractive instead of building up my confidence. A wise friend of mine always told me I needed to find a guy that would do things he loved with me instead of ignoring me for what he loved. I wanted to relay the message to any ladies willing to read this. If he ignores you find someone that won't and never ever let a guy tell you you need to be more confident instead of complimenting you when you don't feel confident. Stay beautiful and remember you're a boss in yourself don't let men make you feel any different!
