We know how horrible and arduous it can be during your periods. Dealing with period cramps is one thing. Add the irritation, mood swings, rashes, and discomfort, and it is all mayhem. But then little treats of chocolates and hot beverages just brighten up the day a little bit. So, today we will talk about a few of the most loved drinks and beverages that you can have during your periods.
Water
Yeah, we know. You are thinking, “Seriously?” And our answer is YES. SERIOUSLY. Water is the best beverage you can have during your periods. Hydration is always important. More so when you are on your periods. You lose water during your periods, and when you are dehydrated, you are more likely to face even more period cramps. So, drinking water can help you relieve period cramps.
Chamomile Tea on your periods
Herbal tea has always had a positive impact on your body when you are menstruating. Chamomile tea soothes your nervous system, and it also has anti-inflammatory properties.
Consequently, this will help relieve your period cramps and make you feel better.
Ginger, Honey, and Lemon Tea
All magic in one! These ingredients have calming and warming properties. So, apart from easing the pain, this tea will also help in dissipating the discomfort that you feel during your periods.
Smoothies
Take your favourite fruits and put in some leafy vegetables along with them, and give it a grind. Top it with some groundnuts and cherries and enjoy a bowl while watching some Netflix. Sounds like a treat, right? Feels like a treat too!
Vegetable soup
Warm things just feel like a blessing during your periods, right? So, make yourself a cup of ready-made vegetable soup. Have a toasted piece of bread along with it. It will not only make you feel better but also give you the energy to go about your day.
What not to have?
Kindly do not have any carbonated or sugary drinks. And please curb your desire to have caffeine for a few days.
