The BEST foods to eat when you have your PERIOD! 🩸🌱

[@angelavasiliu3968]

Thank you Crystal. I recently found teff grain is incredibly rich in iron. Both teff grain and teff flour are so tasty! The flour can be used to make Ethiopian bread (they look like pancakes and are very easy to make).

Getting my period tomorrow and immediately came looking for this video remembering you had just recently uploaded something on the topic. 🙂🥰

[@RebeccaWife1Mom4]

Bravo 👏 Love your excitement over periods.😉

[@laurivanoosterom]

Your videos are so informative Crystal, I really enjoy watching them. Isn't it amazing how much power all these foods have?

[@CrystalKennings]

Thank you so much Lauri! I completely agree, foods are magic! And eating doesn't have to be complicated!

[@talyatalya24]

Just discovered your channel by watching Derek’s channel… I’m SO excited about this, because I’ve been wanting something exactly like what your channel offers. Thanks so much, Crystal! And we always enjoy seeing you on Derek’s channel! You’re so sweet, funny, and gorgeous! ❤ Oh and I LOVE raspberry leaf tea, too! Thanks for all the great tips!

[@melrox8809]

I love all of those foods. Sweet potatoes yum. I'll have to try those teas.

[@missdrama6583]

Thank you for letting me know

[@Tinkiepanda]

Crystal, pleaseeeee come back and make more videos! ❤

[@nataliatrevino7289]

lol you uploaded this the day I got my period and I was wondering what the heck to eat and I found your channel just today, on the last day of my period 🥺 anyways, I really enjoy your presence on Derek's videos and I'm so happy to know you got your on little corner of the internet 💞💞💞💞

[@CrystalKennings]

Thanks Nat!

[@TheLucyBess]

Thank you for this video! I’m 8 weeks postpartum with twins and lost a lot of blood after my c section and had low iron. The Iron supplements my doctor has me on wreck my gut so excited to eat more plants to help up my iron.

[@LollysGarden]

Thanks Crystal, you the best. 💜 Watching while having breakfast. Turmeric and ginger oatmeal with a side of mixed greens with lemon juice on them. Getting my Iron in! Ladies you need to listen to the podcast from The Exam Room on Soy. They talk about the benefits to our periods and post menopausal health.

[@sandrineguay6529]

Hi Crystal, I just discovered your channel and it all I needed right now ! I've been enjoying Derrick's video for quite some time without knowing you had your own channel. I've scrolled through your topics and everything seems so interesting I cant wait to dive into every single one of them. I've had trouble with period symptoms since puberty and struggle to find ressources for tips and tricks to support your cycle naturally. Whenever Im trying to talk about it with health professionnal it always comes back to pills and chemicals and this is not the path Im willing to take. So finding your channel today was a huge blessing, Im really grateful that you share your knowledge with us. Thank you for this great video and cant wait to watch more content ! Thumbs up from Montreal !

[@hcvn8979]

Would you be able to tell us a bit about our metabolism? Can we speed it up or vice versa? Thing’s like that

[@Barbara-dv1ps]

Thank you for sharing all this incredible informations, Crystal!!

[@selancresor7141]

i had a herbal teas phase , now i usually drink decaf coffee. the herbal teas i tried included red bush - which is close to tasting like black tea. i liked peppermint, berry one was too tart for me, chamomille made me very sleepy. the best one was apple and pear - but i can't find it anymore!🍏🍐

[@bb.bb7]

Wow, this is so informative!! Thank you so much for sharing and creating this content!! :)

[@CrystalKennings]

You're welcome!

[@Mimi__.]

Absolutely fantastic advice. I really appreciate all your work with these videos! You're amazing!!!

[@CrystalKennings]

Thank you!

[@vvkouna]

Thanks for the nice video! I didn't know either about beta carotene rich foods for their iron boosting action. Where did you learn about it?

[@tarapapapapa]

I found out durian is rich in vitamin C and I'm going to incorporate it into my diet during menstruation

[@suztube9458]

Thank you, Crystal!!

[@harperdron5076]

I’d love a video about nausea during your period 🥰🤪

[@sh1zuro]

Great info! ❤

[@selancresor7141]

currently having brown vaginal discharge, out of PMS phase i think, i just ate delicious and nutritious lentil curry and fine green beans - feel good about that😊🍲🥗

[@christinediasio6680]

Good luck with the new channel.

[@majastahl885]

Hey Crystal! Thanks for the informative video 😊✨. I used to drink ginger tea every day, but stopped during my period because I felt the blood thinning potential of ginger made me bleed even more. Have you heard of this before? Would love to hear your opinion on that 😊 Have a nice day 🌞

[@CrystalKennings]

That's a great question! Ginger is well known to be a blood thinner as it's contains a natural acid called salicylate which can thin the blood. Depending on how much one is having & other lifestyle/medical factors, this could potentially be of concern. However, studies have suggested that ginger may actually help reduce overall menstrual bleeding in people with heavy periods! So I think it has it's benefits but I also think, as with anything, we all have the right to decided if these things work for us! We are all different and just because someone finds it helps doesn't mean you did. That's okay! We are all different :)

[@Kker448]

Another amazing and informative video. Thank you 😊 I have a question 🙋🏻‍♀️ do you find it more challenging keeping your ferritin levels high on a vegan diet?

[@CrystalKennings]

Hey Rosa! I don’t have any issues keeping my ferritin levels healthy! I just had a blood test and my levels are good. Many years ago I did have low ferritin but I was eating a very “cleansing vegan diet” and obviously that wasn’t working for me, so I had to re evaluate and have been eating a balanced, cooked vegan diet ever since and have had no issues. Food matters for sure!!! Everyone is different though but I believe the body adjusts iron absorption as one increasing plant foods (non heme) sources in the diet! Thats just my experience though ☺️

[@Kker448]

@@CrystalKennings thank you 😀

[@JennyZibreva]

Thank you Crystal, you're great as always ❤️ Regarding teas: I currently live in Germany and was roaming around Drugstore last month and discovered "Menstrual tea". It's super warming and calming and I find 2 cups a day can really make it all a little bit better. In case if you're interested and want to DIY, here are the ingredients: Lemon grass, orange leaves, nettle, fennel, lemon balm, camomile, lady's mantle, yarrow herb, angelica root and vitamin B6 🌿 Greetings to Derek and all the best!

[@CrystalKennings]

Thank you!!! that sounds delish :)

[@shaysobossy4576]

What's the best tea to drink

[@jeanneamato8278]

You are the best.

[@emmaburke5789]

Interesting. Does that mean if you eat oranges your getting a double boost so to speak from the vit c and betacarotene to help with iron absorption? - in theory at least.

[@CrystalKennings]

In theory! haha

[@biblebasefaith4971]

This is cool 😎👍👏💓
