It's that time of the month again.  Women are used to having periods every month, but they are not always painless. Many women experience extreme mood swings, sensitive breasts, food cravings, tiredness, irritability, and depression during their menstrual cycle. Furthermore, many women have chest pain, water retention, and even period pain.

 

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a severe illness that can cause considerable physical discomfort and disturb your life. While the menstrual cycle cannot be avoided, there are several therapies available to ease the discomfort. Here is how you can relieve the pain and battle the symptoms.

Vegetables

According to experts, vegetables like broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower are high in fibre, calcium, potassium, and vitamin B6, all of which help to reduce water retention. Fibers aid in preventing constipation. Don't forget to incorporate these greens in your diet as a result.

 

Pumpkin Seeds

One excellent source of magnesium is pumpkin seeds. This mineral helps to improve mood and reduce undesirable mood swings. Moreover, it reduces water retention. Furthermore, zinc and Omega 3 are included in pumpkin seeds, which help to relieve pain and cramps.

 

Almonds

Almonds have a high magnesium content. This helps in relaxing the muscles, which will lessen cramps during your period. Magnesium can also help you sleep better.

 

Ajwain

You can also combat period cramps with ajwain. Boil ajwain in water and filter the water and consume it few days before the start of your period.

 

Methi

Health professionals claim that soaking methi seeds overnight and drinking the flavor-infused water will ease period pains.
