What to eat during your period?

If, like 80% of women, you suffer from painful periods (headaches, cramps or tender breasts), you make like to know that these symptoms are the result of an inflammation linked to a substance called C-reactive Protein, which is abundantly present in your body around the time of your period.

By choosing a diet with anti-inflammatory properties, based on fibre and omega-3s such as fatty fish (salmon, sardines, mackerel, or herring) or rapeseed or walnut oils, you can reduce the severity of your symptoms. For women who are at risk of anaemia, opt for iron-rich foods (such as red meat, poultry, offal, fish and seafood, cumin, etc.) during this period.
