CYCLE SYNCING | meal plan during your period

Eating foods with nutrients your body is depleting itself from can help alleviate a lot of the dreaded pms symptoms associated with the menstrual cycle!

Increase your intake of iron rich foods (like leafy green vegetables, red meat and beans) and vitamin C (like citrus fruits and berries).

Avoid heavily processed foods, alcohol, spicy foods and sugar as these can contribute to inflammation which may cause painful period cramps to be more severe — however, this phase comes along with high cravings… don’t be too hard on yourself and eat what feels good! My fav ways to satisfy those cravings is to always have Hu Kitchen dark chocolate on hand, matcha lattes, and Siete potato chips 🤤

... Read moreWhen it comes to cycle syncing, understanding your nutritional needs during your period can significantly help in managing PMS symptoms. Many women experience cravings and discomfort leading up to and during their periods. Incorporating foods rich in iron, such as leafy greens, beans, and red meat, is crucial for counteracting the depletion caused by menstruation. Foods high in vitamin C like citrus fruits and berries can enhance iron absorption, making them an excellent choice for your diet. In addition to these nutrient-dense foods, it's essential to be mindful of what to avoid. Heavily processed foods, alcohol, and excess sugar can contribute to inflammation and worsen period cramps. Instead of depriving yourself, find healthier alternatives that cater to your cravings, such as satisfying your sweet tooth with dark chocolate or enjoying a brewed matcha latte. Planning meals that promote stability and diminish discomfort includes a variety of nutritious options. Think about incorporating breakfasts like protein smoothies with fruits or savory dishes like avocado toast topped with seeds. For lunch and dinner, try salads with grilled chicken, quinoa, or lentil soup packed with vegetables. Keeping your meal plan diverse ensures you get the vital nutrients your body craves during this time. Hydration is also key. Drink plenty of water and consider herbal teas that may help ease bloating and cramping. By focusing on a balanced diet rich in iron, fiber, and healthy fats, you not only nourish your body during your period but also empower your overall wellbeing during the menstrual cycle.
