5. Low fat, high fibre foods are great
A low-fat, high-fiber diet can significantly reduce estrogen levels which makes you experience lesser pain during your period. If women can reduce the amount of fat consumed just before and during menstruation, the estrogen level will drop, which is a good change because a lower hormone level will have less effect on the uterine cells.
The high fibre in the foods will help you soak up the estrogen released by the liver, through the bile duct like a sponge and carries it out with other waste. This is a beneficial process during menstruation.
Foods that contain high-fiber and low fat include vegetables (broccoli, spinach, carrots, sweet potatoes), beans, fruits, and whole grains.
