99 Effective Meal and Juice Recipes to Help Reduce Menstrual Cramps: Minimize Symptoms and Pain Using Natural Ingredients By Joe Correa CSN In order to reduce those menstrual cramps, eat foods rich in vitamin B, especially pyridoxine (vitamin B6). It elevates mood, improves sleep and relieves pain in the abdomen. Overall health will also improve by increasing calcium and magnesium. Some studies show that an increase in calcium and magnesium in the second half of the cycle, can reduce many premenstrual symptoms. Calcium not only improves mood but also prevents allergic reactions, pain, and reduces menstrual bleeding. Magnesium helps to establish mental balance, reduces irritability, stress, and increases the overall resistance of our organism. Menstrual symptoms appear 7-10 days before the beginning of menstruation and usually, pass a few days after the period starts. These symptoms vary from cycle to cycle and from woman to woman. But one thing is for sure - every woman on the planet has experienced some of these symptoms at least once in their lifetime. It depends on the hormonal balance, but also on other factors such as diet, stress, and lifestyle. This is why it is extremely important to get to know your body better and to follow your menstrual cycle by recording it on a calendar and observe how your body behaves. To avoid unpleasant symptoms of PMS in the second half of the cycle, be careful with what you eat. Avoid too much sugar, processed food, soft drinks, alcohol, coffee, black tea, and too many fats. Correcting your diet during these 14 days before period will avoid and reduce the unpleasant side effects of PMS and even pain. In the second half of the menstrual cycle eat more fish and healthy fats, since studies have shown that this can alleviate symptoms of PMS.
