What to eat during your periods: Because your Uterus has entered its drama era:

What to eat during periods? When your whole body throws a monthly party without your permission and your mood has gone from “I am fine” to “Who ate my chocolate?” in 0.5 seconds then you realize that periods have arrived.

The whole messy kitchen feels like a five star kitchen because you wanna eat everything present in the kitchen. The worst pain of cramps, bloating, tiredness, headaches, and cravings can make those few days feel exhausting, but here is a good news: what you eat supports your energy, hydration, and overall well being during your periods.

So before you declare war on your refrigerator, let’s talk about some foods that can actually be your period time allies.

Leafy greens: Your green superheroes in periods:

Leafy greens may not be exciting as pizza, but they bring important nutrients to your dining table. Vegetables like spinach, kale, broccoli and other leafy greens contain iron, folate, magnesium and other vitamins and minerals that support normal body functions, but all these seem tasteless so it’s your choice to make it tasty.

Fruits: Nature’s sweet treat

Fruits provide water, fiber, vitamins, minerals, and natural carbohydrates that can help you stay nourished. Fruits like bananas, oranges, pineapples, berries, watermelon, can be great choices during periods because they contain nutrients which can give you energy during periods, specifically bananas contain potassium and is easily accessible and easy to grab when you don’t want to cook. As it is no kitchen, no cooking, just peel and eat.

Eggs: Tiny nutritional powerhouse:

Eggs are packed with protein and contain several important nutrients. When you add eggs with whole grain toast and some vegetables it tastes so good. And absolutely when your energy level is so low and you drain out a quiche egg sandwich can come to rescue you.

Beans and lentils: Small but mighty

Lentils, chicken peas, kidney beans, and other legumes provide protein, fiber, iron and other nutrients. They can be especially helpful and useful as a part of a balanced diet for people who don’t eat much meat.

Try lentil soup, chickpea salad, daal with rice and beans with vegetables.

Fish: Gives yourself a plate of Omega-3s:

Fatty fish such as Salmon, tuna, sardines and mackerel provide Omega-3 fatty acids, along with protein and other nutrients. Omega-3 fats are part of a healthy eating pattern and are important for normal body functions.

If fish isn’t your thing, so don’t panic. There are plenty of other nutritious foods to choose from.

Nuts and snacks: Tiny snacks, big nutrition

Almonds, pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds and many more similar foods can provide healthy fats, protein, magnesium, and other nutrients.

A small handful can make an easy snack between meals.

Yogurt and other calcium foods:

Yogurt with fruits makes a simple snack desert, while milk can be added to oatmeal or a smoothie. Yogurt, milk, cheese, and fortified alternatives can provide calcium and protein. Basically calcium rich foods don’t need to be boring.

Chocolate: yes you can have chocolate:
