Period food?

Question

So this app mentions staying hydrated, snuggle away, stock up on tampons/pads, and eating nourishing foods. Are there any foods or drinks any of you would recommend?
I always feel so fatigued during my period, which I know is common. Just curious to see if any of you have recommendations?
Thanks y’all. ❤️

Answer

Bananas for potassium, fiber, and vitamins 👍🏻

Answer

As the lovely one mentioned above get your fiber, potassium and vitamins!! along with potassium, vit D, magnesium and calcium help kick the cramps and bloat. Yogurt and milk are great calcium sources as well as broccoli. My personal favorite source of magnesium while on my period is dark chocolate :)) Making sure everything is moving with enough fiber in your diet will help you feel less bloated too (with lots of fiber comes lots of water though, if you aren't helping it move along with water it can actually constipate you). You can find fiber in bran, legumes/beans and the skins/insides of apples have lots too, an apple a day! 
Women lose iron during menstruation so getting your dark leafy greens is important. As well as fortifed breads and cereals, meats and nuts and seeds. This loss of iron actually can cause that period fatigue, as well as making your whole body feel chilly. Lots of water and lots of rest!! :)
