A lot of TMI coming up. The best period I have is when I've been eating well the month before my period. Particularly plant based/ or more whole foods and not really any processed foods. I'm talking 3 days from first spotting to completely stopping, and absolutely no pms symptoms before or during. No sore breasts, no aching lower back, nothing at all. It's just like, "surprise I'm here!" Oh, and I have hardly any bleeding. So Everytime I eat like crap I completely hate myself because I make myself miserable during my period when it's totally avoidable 🤦‍♀️

Traditionally, Hawaiian women would go to a hale peʻa during menses. Not because of “impurity” but as a time of balancing, reflection and rejuvenation. A mini-vacay!

[@tynaknytlova4788]

Amazing, is it still practised in Hawaii now? It makes so much sense to me. A period is time to slow down, rest and recharge. I am so glad I educated myself over the years, and changed my relationship with my period and experience of it! 💖

[@CycleCoachAcademy]

Constipation before your period is usually caused by the hormone progesterone, which slows down your digestion. Sorry to hear you deal with this! Fennel and Licorice tea are very helpful to get things going!

[@CycleCoachAcademy]

@@kauigirl808 diarrhea before your period could be caused by a rise in prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are created by the uterus and can migrate to the intestines to cause diarrhea.

[@jasminebarros5584]

I loose my appetite when I’m on my period

[@chmichafishcaek5787]

That is because of the oestrogen peak, as this hormone has an appetite-suppressent effect. I'm the same on the first 2 days or so of my periods, low to no appetite. Oestrogen levels peak and drop during your periods, and gradually rise again during the follicular phase until ovulation. You can read this article, which lets you know more about the effects of your hormones throughout your cycle : www.bloodandmilk.com/what-to-eat-during-each-phase-of-your-menstrual-cycle/ I found it very useful. :)

[@b.reeves8764]

I noticed having a clean empty gut reduced cramping. When my cycle starts I always have to move my bowels multiply times during day 1 which lessen the cramping to no cramping.

[@Србомбоница86]

Me too ,but I have loose stools during period and that makes me weak and dizzy ,but it does lessen cramps

[@aurorerich]

It's because fibers flush out excess estrogen. If you eat little it will avoid constipation too, avoiding excess estrogen.

[@leekflower1]

Call me crazy but when I started relaxed walks several times a week and dramatically reduced gluten containing foods, my cramps are all but gone.

This is the WEALTH of technical information I’ve been dying for!

I eat mostly vegetarian so it’s no wonder I haven’t been getting enough of a lot of these. Although I eat most of these foods daily, I never thought it was my vitamin levels that were the issue.

[@tynaknytlova4788]

Curious if any of the tips from the video made difference for you? The week before my period used to be quite challenging for me, lots of emotions, having cravings and all the other symptoms... Have you ever heard about Woman's cycle and Four phases? It has transformed my life. Maybe it could help you too. It brought more awareness into my life, more understanding of what is happening with my body, mind, emotions, and it gave me tips what to do and understand that I am not crazy. 😜 Really life changing.

chocolate and cocoa contain high amounts of tannins (thats why their bitter also) and this is known to interfere with the absorption of iron. If you are prone to iron deficiency, especially on your period (which is in fact the most common deficiency world wide) I would not eat dark chocolate while consuming other iron sources.

I avoid pain through having fenugreek tea, green tea infused with mint, apple cider vinegar infused with ginger and warm water (no i don't mix these 😂). I avoid cold beverages and sweet foods. Before and during to avoid cramps as well. I haven't felt a thing this entire year, if i do....it's mild. Incorporating a healthy diet with mostly fruits and veggies has done wonders for m as well. I do not really care for coffee, but even if you do crave a cup every once in a while. i do not have it before or during my period.

So, up until 1:45 you just spread the word about how the main problem with pms and period is being cranky. Oh yes, being cranky is the main stereoty....I mean issue here.

I’m always worried about leaking because I’m a beginner who doesn’t know their flow yet so it’s stressful for me but I never lash out at anyone or get uncharacteristically grumpy, I just feel tired and hungry. Emphasis on the tired lol. But it’s different for everyone ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@tynaknytlova4788]

I wonder if it could have something to do with pushing ourselves and needing to function the same way as the rest of the month. To do, to perform, to finish tasks. But our body is asking us to slow down, rest, be and recharge. But there hasn't been that much space for that in our society. 😔

Wow absolutely fantastic, joyful video. Thank you so much! Also great comment section with extra info. Stinging nettles 🙌 are incredible sources of iron (and they can be free and abundant especially in UK) Turmeric and cacao 💖 Hibiscus tea. Beetroot. I've had a weak coffee yesterday and black tea today and can totally feel how it increases jitteriness. Will avoid caffeine next period. Also if you can collect and give some or all of your blood to mother earth in a nature abundant area you will avoid sending this incredible vibrant blood of life to sit in landfill/sewers.

I heard that you are supposed to eat a plant based diet, no animal products , no meat, no eggs, no cheese, no milk every day, year round, not just during your period, to prevent menstrual cramps

[@tynaknytlova4788]

Just curious, do you make more time to rest during your period? Or do you function as any other day? This is my perception, but please take what resonates and let the rest go. I believe that since we are bleeding, we are loosing energy, and if we have to function 100% as the rest of the month then it makes sense to me that our body is asking more food, to have more energy to do the tasks. It really made a difference for me when I started making time in the morning or evening to rest, and just be. I would observe if I am hungry because I feel tired and I still want to do lots of things or maybe talk to a nutritionist who could help you design a balanced diet for what your body needs now. I watched my diet change over the years. And we are all unique. I hope you find the best way for you.

I'm older now and I know how my body works, I also know many tips and tricks, still can't leave my bed for the first 3 days of my period and always take a day off at work. Much love💙💙💙
