Food to avoid for less PMS ✨

Want a pain free period? Try reducing these foods before & during your period!

Coffee - caffeine in general can increase menstrual cramps because it restricts blood vessels! It can also increase cortisol which can imbalance hormones creating heavier more painful periods. Try drinking decaf or matcha!

Fried food - Deep tried food are usually cooked in oils that oxidize at high temps + are highly refined which can contribute to inflammation. Inflammation can make cramps & other symptoms worse! Can also increase bloating because fried foods are hard to digest and lack fiber which slows down digestion.

Focus on warm, easily digestible foods instead!Soups, broths, fermented foods, sweet potatoes and lean protein are great

Alcohol - Alcohol increases prostaglandin levels, worsening period cramps. Prostaglandins trigger contractions in the female's uterine muscle so the higher levels of prostaglandins can cause more extreme menstrual cramps! Make mocktails with herbal tinctures for relaxation or mood instead!

Over doing it on refined sugar - too much refined or added sugar can create inflammation in the body & inflammation can worsen cramps. Focus on natural sugar & fruit instead 🍉

Hope this helps!!
