5. Don’t Give In To Junk Food
While eating during periods is important, eating right is even more so. Menstruation is an uncomfortable thing and it’s common to seek comfort in junk food items or those with a high sodium content. However, indulging in food that is bad for you will only increase your discomfort by causing fluid retention . Which is why eating healthy is better.
6. Don’t Have Dairy Products
Avoiding dairy products is a must during menstruation. Although calcium is good for you at this time, you’re better off taking it in a supplement form rather than from dairy. Dairy products such as milk, cheese, and yogurt, etc. contain a type of acid known as ‘arachidonic acid,’ which can significantly worsen your lower abdominal cramps). So, steer clear of dairy and avoid pork, beef, turkey, and chicken too, as they all contain high levels of this acid.
