foods to eat during your menstrual phase 🥑

the foods you eat during each phase can help to support your hormones and allow your body to feel it’s best. here are cycle syncing foods to eat during your menstrual phase (day 1-5).

at the start of menstrual cycle, our hormones are at their lowest as they work to shed the uterine lining. because of this hormonal dip, energy levels are likely low, so support the body with plenty of water and unprocessed, nutrient-rich foods that keep energy and blood sugar levels steady. a good mix of proteins, healthy fats and complex carbohydrates such as root veggies, whole grains and legumes can support the energy-intensive process of menstruation. include cooked, fermented, sprouted and/or activated foods as well as plenty of iron-rich foods such as lentils, kale, pumpkin seeds and spinach.

changes during the menstrual cycle are controlled by various hormones. when these hormones become too low or too high, people who bleed can experience various symptoms. through proper diet and supplementation, we can support our bodies and hormones to alleviate these symptoms and promote a healthy, regular menstrual cycle. reminder not to be restrictive, these are just supposed to be helpful tips!!
