There are several reasons women dread their menstrual cycles. This is probably not news.
What could be news is that you may be handling your period symptoms, such as bloating, headaches, moodiness or tiredness, in all of the wrong ways.
According to an article from Women’s Health Magazine, certain foods can help fight off some of these symptoms that accompany Aunt Flo’s visit each month.
Does it surprise you that foods high in fiber actually help combat bloating? Or that bananas can help you sleep and ease the painfulness of cramps?
Other foods that are good for your period diet include ones that are rich in iron.
Unless you’re a superhero, you probably can’t avoid PMS entirely, but these foods added to an already healthy diet should help you combat it like Wonder Woman.
