My Foods To Eat When Having Belly Cramps.
Improving Menstrual Symptoms.
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!

Thank You Female Product Companies For Normalizing Human
I was born in 1990. In May, smack dab early mid-year. I am quite LITERALLY the definition of a '90's' kid. I don't remember a lot of commercials from when I was younger, but I do know that growing up women in media were photoshopped, sculpted, and molded to be Barbie perfect.

The Enternal echoes of memory ..
In a small university town, nestled amidst towering oaks and cobblestone streets, there existed a quaint coffee shop called "Eternal Brews." It was a place where time seemed to stand still, where the aroma of freshly brewed coffee mingled with the scent of old books. Within its cozy confines, the coffee shop played host to an intriguing event – a viva session on the topic of memory.As the participants gathered around the worn wooden tables, anticipation hung in the air like a delicate mist. Dr. Sophia, the esteemed moderator of the session, welcomed everyone with a warm smile. Among the attendees was Professor Alan, a renowned neuroscientist, and Dr. Elena, a psychologist with a passion for the human mind.The conversation began with Professor Alan's opening remarks, delving into the intricate workings of memory. He spoke of neurons firing like stars in the night sky, weaving intricate patterns of recollection that shaped our understanding of the world. He posited that memory was more than mere recall; it was the essence of our existence, the thread that connected past, present, and future.Dr. Elena, with her insightful gaze, offered a different perspective. She delved into the realm of emotions, exploring how memory was intertwined with feelings of joy, sorrow, and nostalgia. She recounted tales of patients whose memories had been fractured by trauma, yet who still clung to the fragments of their past like precious heirlooms.As the discussion unfolded, the participants shared their own experiences with memory. Sarah, a literature enthusiast, spoke of how books had the power to preserve moments in time, allowing readers to revisit distant lands and bygone eras with each turn of the page. James, a musician, recounted how melodies from his childhood echoed in his mind like distant whispers, carrying him back to a time when life was simpler and dreams were boundless.But amidst the tales of nostalgia and longing, there lingered a question – did memory truly last forever? Dr. Sophia, ever the voice of reason, posed this query to the group, sparking a spirited debate.Professor Alan argued that while memories might fade with time, their essence endured, like faded photographs hidden in the recesses of the mind. He spoke of the brain's remarkable ability to adapt and rewire itself, forging new connections even as old ones faded into obscurity.Dr. Elena, however, offered a more somber perspective. She spoke of how memories could be distorted by time and perception, their once-vivid colors muted by the passage of years. She recounted studies that showed how eyewitness testimonies could be flawed, leading to wrongful convictions and shattered lives.As the debate raged on, a hush fell over the coffee shop, as if the very walls were listening intently to the words being spoken. And then, in the midst of the discourse, a voice spoke up – soft yet resolute.It was Emily, a young woman with a gentle smile and eyes that sparkled with wisdom beyond her years. She recounted a tale from her own life, of a beloved grandmother who had passed away many years ago. Despite the passage of time, Emily spoke of how her grandmother's presence still lingered, woven into the fabric of her memories like a timeless tapestry.In that moment, the truth became clear – memory was not bound by the constraints of time or space. It was a living, breathing entity, shaped by the experiences and emotions that defined us as individuals. And while the sands of time might erode its edges, the essence of memory would endure, forever etched in the annals of our souls.As the viva session drew to a close, the participants exchanged knowing glances, their hearts and minds forever changed by the journey they had undertaken. For in the quiet corners of "Eternal Brews," amidst the scent of coffee and the rustle of pages, they had discovered the eternal echoes of memory – a reminder that even in the darkest of nights, there was always a glimmer of light, waiting to guide us home.
