So it’s about to get real today! There are so many topics that seem taboo to talk about on the blog but we are breaking those rules today.
Being a woman has so many perks – there’s ladies night, really cute clothes, sleepovers, and don’t forget the shoes – what’s NOT to love about shoes?! But there’s always that one week you’d do anything to fast forward just a few days. You know exactly what I am talking about – Aunt Flo!
Today I am sharing a few of my tips for beating the period blues!
Healthy Eating – Despite the fact that all you want to eat is chocolate and fried food…resist the urge! If you must satisfy that chocoholic fix, grab a piece of dark chocolate! Limit caffeine, reduce your salt intake, & eat fish and other foods high in magnesium! Your body is loosing essential nutrients so it’s necessary to replenish them if you want to feel better.

Exercise – Who am I kidding?! Working out is the last thing I want to do when I am on my period…but I always feel better after I do! Studies have proven getting your endorphins going reduces stress and helps your body recover faster. Instead of your most intense workout session, try some basic stretching, yoga or Pilates! There’s a ton of plans out there to help target specific areas of pain too.

Pain Relievers – I am believer in the modern medicine. My go-to period pain reliever is a Back & Body medication or regular Midol. Ibuprofen is usually a recommended pain reliever, but it hurts my stomach. I find these other alternatives to do the trick. There are also lots of herbal teas that can help reduce bloating & other vitamins that can replace critical nutrients and relieve pain. Turmeric is a big natural pain reliever you could look into if you’d rather take that route.
