WHO SAYS "RED DAYS" CANT BE ENJOYED?🀷🀷

FOODS TO AVOID AND EAT DURING YOUR PERIOD


Fatigue, instability, mood swings and awful cramps are constant during your period but you’ll be surprised to know that what you eat can actually affect how you feel during your period. Turns out, getting the right nutrition especially in these 5 days can counter muscle pain, uncomfortable bloating, headaches and inconsistent digestion. Even though it might seem totally legit to weird to eat, you’ve got to take the hard road and make wiser choices. To help guide you along the way, here is a list of  what to eat during periods and foods to avoid during period. πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡

FOODS TO AVOID

ALCOHOL
Please go virgin when it comes to alcoholic drinks while on your period (yes, even if you had a really difficult day). While alcohol may reduce cramps temporarily, there are too many negative effects for you to ignore; despite the temporary relief it may give you. It can cause your period to become irregular and also increase oestrogen levels in the body, worsening period symptoms. Just one more consequence if you’re not convinced: its diuretic nature increases your water retention levels, making you appear more bloated. There you have it! So no alcohol during period OkπŸ˜‰πŸ˜‰

CAFFEINATED DRINKS
Turn down the volume of coffee and tea; one of the main drinks you need to avoid during your period. It increases blood pressure and heart rate leading to tension and anxiety attacks and in turn, worsening the PMS symptom.
Instead, try green tea, its a better alternative if you must take at all.

FOODS HIGH IN FATS
Fatty foods influence hormones, lead to cramps and can make you feel gassy. Given the fact that your skin is already sensitive during these days, incorrect food choices during your period can make this issue worse and cause it to become even more dry and dehydrated. Ideally, you should try and avoid fatty meats, burgers and other foods filled with gat

FOOD WITH HIGH SALT CONTENT
Canned soups, bacon, chips etc should be avoided because they are high in salt. The hormone responsible for menstruation already causes water retention and a high salt diet will cause a gassy, bloating feeling.


WHAT YOU SHOULD EAT

LEAFY GREENS
This may be the last thing that you feel like stuffing your face with to distract yourself from those god-awful cramps, but greens likes spinach and kale are extremely important when you’re on your period because they contain heap loads of iron which is something that you’re in desperate need of while menstruating. So, toss a quick salad or get yourself some veggies to get those greens into your diet.

CHOCOLATE
Raise your hands if you're excited with this? Does this not make the struggle of having your periods worth it? You can eat (dark) chocolate completely guilt-free! Dark chocolate is great because it contains lower levels of sugar, and is also full of magnesium, a mineral that regulates your serotonin levels and will prevent you from terrorising your family and friends with your mood swings. πŸ’―πŸ’―

BANANAS
If you’re looking for a healthy pick me up, you can stop once you see the bananas on your kitchen table as they contain high levels of potassium and B6 vitamins. They’re great if you just need a little push to get out of bed and start the day. These components not only benefit your mental health, but also regulate bowel movements and decrease the amount of water yyou retain, making you feel less bloated. Pick up a banana and get munching. If you don’t care for its taste, blend it in as part of a smoothie.

WATERMELON
Watermelon is just all shades of goodπŸ‘ŒAs soon as you feel the temptation to combine the ice cream, and anything else sweet you can find in the fridge into a massive sugar mountain, stop, and instead reach for some watermelon.  Watermelon is filled with nutrients and vitamins that help reduce feelings of tiredness and weakness, and also contribute to lessen any bloating of the stomach.

QUOTES OF LIFE

I was leafing through the pages of my daily devotional [Our Daily Manna (ODM)] this morning as part of my quiet time. So yes, I observe my quiet time on a daily. And It's pretty therapeutic; helps clear my mind off my worries and set my mind right. Yes, it's kind of a thing and you should try it some time too. But today I was dealing with a bout of depression. Yes, I'm revving, bubbly, and energized most of the time but even Ferraris run out of gas too. So let's just say I was making a much-needed pit-stop to refuel so that I can go right back to stepping on the gas and kicking ass like y'all know me to!πŸ˜‰ Okay, so here's the thing. All those pep talk was actually leading up to when I reveal that I happened to have came upon some beautiful quotes that renewed my strength for this week and also cleared any hint of depression while going through the daily devotional. The book in question is authored by a pastor who is also a helluva motivational speak...
