How should I eat during my period?
If you, like 80% of all women, suffer from pain during your period (headaches, abdominal or chest pain...), you should know that these symptoms are the result of inflammation associated with a substance called C-reactive protein, which is present in excessive amounts in the body during this time.
You can reduce these symptoms by favoring foods with anti-inflammatory properties, such as those rich in fiber and Omega-3 fatty acids like fatty fish (salmon, sardine, mackerel, herring) or rapeseed or walnut oil. Women who are prone to anemia should especially consume iron-rich foods (red meat, poultry, offal, fish and seafood, cumin, etc.) during this time.
