There are many benefits to eating yogurt during your menstruation cycle. Of course, the bacterial cultures (all good!) in yogurt help to regulate your gastrointestinal system, but yogurt is also high in calcium which helps to reduce menstrual pain and discomfort. Just don’t eat too much dairy since it all has arachidonic acids which can contribute to cramping.

Above all else, be sure that you’re drinking enough water during your menstruation cycle. Water amazingly is what you need to ingest in order to fight bloating and fluid retention which cause aching pains, cramping, and other menstruation symptoms. If you don’t drink enough, your body may overcompensate by retaining fluids.
除了上面的这些食物，确保在经期喝足够的水。令人惊讶的是，要想减轻腹胀、痛经、痉挛或其他月经症状，只需要多喝些水，这些月经症状是由腹部肿胀和体液潴留引起的。如果你没有喝足水，你的身体为保持体液可能会矫枉过正。
