of
the
best
sources
of
potassium,
rich
in
B
vitamins
and
a
regulator
of
bowel
movement
is

fruit
banana.

of
caffeine
and
loads

sugar
in
chocolate

make
it
a
debatable
food
to
have
during
periods
but
it
has
its
benefits
too.
If you go for the very dark variety you will give yourself a good dose of magnesium which is essential during these days.

blood.

your
diet
in
these
days
should
include
sources

iron
and
what
better
source
than
read
meat.
If you love red meat this is the time to indulge as on other days you would have to restrain from it.
•
Nuts
And
Seeds
On
those
uncomfortable
and
painful
days
you
might
want
to
grab
a
snack
once
in
a
while.
Instead
of
heading
for
some
fried
and
fat
laden
snack
go
for
nuts
and
seeds.
They are loaded with vitamins and filling as well. But have ones that are free of added sugar, salt or candied.
Let’s face it; there is no escaping the periods. All that can be done is to make the days comfortable. While including appropriate foods to eat during periods also try to have a regular exercise regime to keep your body fit.
An exercised body is better prepared for periods and there is minimum discomfort.
