Menstruation. Follicular phase. Ovulation. Luteal phase. Although our bodies go through a monthly hormonal cycle for about 40 years, there’s so much to know and learn about this amazing transformation.

A GROCERY LIST FOR EASING YOUR PERIOD SYMPTOMS
By FemmyCycle
While we celebrate our menstrual cycles, it’s also just as important to keep it real. And sometimes period symptoms flat out suck.
Luckily, research has proven that certain vitamins and minerals naturally found in food, drinks and spices can support our cycles and hormones during our periods.
CHOOSE THESE FOODS
Leafy Green Vegetables
Because we’re losing blood during our menstrual cycles, it’s common for our iron levels to dip, especially for those who have a heavier flow. Low iron causes fatigue, body aches, and dizziness. Leafy green vegetables such as spinach and kale are rich in iron — consider adding them to your meals during your cycle (and after!) to keep your energy up and the aches and pains away.
Fish
Fish is high in omega-3 fatty acids, which have been proven to reduce menstrual pain and depression. Like leafy greens, fish are also high in iron and can help to support low iron related to menstruation.
