period food

Period food refers to the foods and nutrients that support a person's health during menstruation. It emphasizes eating a balanced diet rich in iron (like lean meats, leafy greens, and legumes) to replace iron lost through blood flow, and complex carbs (such as whole grains and fruits) for sustained energy. Staying hydrated and including foods high in magnesium and vitamin B6 can help reduce cramps and mood swings. While there’s no special “period food,” choosing nourishing, nutrient-dense options can ease common symptoms and support overall well-being during this time.
