menstrual phase foods

did you know that we have different phases to our menstrual cycle?!

it’s important to know which phase you’re in so you can know how to better support your body!

here are some good food options to eat during your menstrual phase:

red meat

leafy greens

ginger

pumpkin seeds

oysters

beets

blueberries

cranberries

here are some of the reasons why these foods are a good choice:

red meat - to replenish your iron levels

leafy greens- rich in so many vitamins and minerals such as vitamin c, vitamin a, vitamin k, potassium and magnesium

magnesium can help reduce cramps and stress

ginger - anti inflammatory properties, which can help ease cramps, as well as to help lower levels of prostaglandin

pumpkin seeds - support your hormones and your mood

oysters - contain iron and zinc

blueberries, cranberries and beets have powerful antioxidants that help support your blood

during your menstrual phase you may be losing up to 2 milligrams of iron per day, iron transports oxygen throughout our bodies, without it we may feel extremely exhausted
