Avoiding some habits are also very important such as eating spicy foods, candy, snacks, as well as alcohol.

Believe it or not, you can reduce period cramps, help with mood swings, feel less swollen and bloated if you plan a good diet and avoid eating some specific foods that are not good and will increase your pain more.

5 Food Ideas To Stay Healthy During Menstrual Period

Try Eating A Big Healthy Breakfast

A healthy breakfast fuels your energy for the entire day and metabolism gets pumping. To eat a big healthy breakfast, you can eat different types of vegetables, bread and butter, and anything else you want to have with your morning meal. Start eating with veggies because you will eat less of your naughty foods as you are filling up on veggies first.

Eat Oranges

Orange plays a very important role to reduce your period symptoms. Oranges have vitamin C and D that will help you to relieve depression and anxiety. Oranges have fiber to help your digestive problems undoubtedly. Oranges are also rich in sugar and control your blood sugar as well. They lower the risk of cancer and prevent your skin damage too.

Add Broccoli In Your Diet

If you are suffering from fatigue, then broccoli can be a remedy for your problem. And if you don’t prefer broccoli in your diet, don’t worry. There are several ways to cook broccoli and you can easily eat this food for your ease. Broccoli is high in fibers and iron that will help you compensate for some of the iron that you will be losing during your menstrual period.

Also, broccoli will nourish your body quickly, helping your body to reduce bloating as broccoli is rich in fiber. Broccoli will also ease all of the pesky PMS symptoms from your body as it has a large amount of magnesium and potassium.

Try Eating Eggs

Egg yolk contains plenty of proteins, fat-soluble vitamins, iron and important fatty acids which is very good while you are having your period. And the egg is one of the healthiest foods and we know about its benefits as well.

Try eating eggs during your period to ease the period symptoms and try to eat an egg every day, that’s also a good habit especially during the menstrual period. But avoid eating eggs that are boiled very hard as it causes bloating.

Dark chocolate

If you want to eat more dark chocolates then the period is the best excuse of the month when you can eat more dark chocolate. It is the comfort food during your menstrual period as well.

But, don’t try processed candy or drugstore sweets because they contain artificial sugars which are not good for your health. Go to your nearest local food store to get unprocessed and original dark chocolate for you.

These are not only the good foods you can go with, but there are also other healthy and delicious foods you can try to ease and reduce period symptoms as well. Also, avoid some food habits like snacks, spicy food or alcohol. These types of food habits will cause you harm and you will find it difficult to lead your menstrual period.
