Ladies, is it that time of the month again? Are cramps and bloating in your future? Well there are foods that can fight the common symptoms such as pain, fatigue, cramps and moodiness.
Whole grains, iron and citrus: Iron-fortified whole grain cereal gives us
energy which enhances our concentration and iron is good for healthy
oxygen-rich blood flow. Choose a cereal
with at least 25% of the Daily Value for iron.
Orange juice fortified with iron is another great option. Speaking of oranges, citrus is a natural
diuretic (due to the potassium content) which can help alleviate bloating. Some good citrus options are clementines,
lemons and limes. Brown rice contains fiber-rich complex carbohydrates to help maintain energy levels. Brown rice contains magnesium which alleviates bloating and relieves stress. Aim for 200
mgs/day of magnesium. Some other good food choices include oatmeal, sweet potatoes and whole wheat pasta.
