Don't eat during the period

​Never eat these foods during periods

Many women suffer from unbearable cramps, heavy bleeding, discomfort and flatulence during their menstrual cycle. While some experts consider these effects as a normal part of the periodic cycle, others believe that excess of any of these symptoms can be an early sign of slackening reproductive health. But did you know, unbearable cramps or uneasiness is not always related to your health, rather these are a result of the unhealthy foods that you love indulging during this phase. Here are some common foods that can make your periods miserable and it’s time to strike them out!

​Salty foods


Most of us love binging on a pack of chips or processed snacks that are no doubt delicious, but are loaded with additives and salt. Excess intake of sodium rich (salty) foods can hold up a lot of water causing water retention, bloating, discomfort, stomach ache.


Red meat


During the menstrual cycles the body produces a compound called Prostaglandins, which helps the uterus to contract and get rid of the uterine lining causing menstrual flow. Consuming red meat during this time can cause excess bleeding and cramps due to its high iron and prostaglandins content.

​Caffeine


Drinking tea or coffee is the best way to unwind, but are you drinking too much caffeine based drinks during periods? This can be one of the reasons why you suffer from extreme stomach cramps or bloating. This is due to the tendency of caffeine to hold up water in the body, which causes discomfort in the stomach, hampers the bowel movement by causing diarrhea and also triggers headaches. It is best to go for zero caffeine drinks or just stick 1-2 cups a day.

​Sugar


Some people prefer gorging on sweet treats, candies, milky chocolates, packed desserts to satiate their odd cravings during their periods. Doing this can not only spike your blood sugar levels, but will also affect your mood, leading to mood swings, trigger depression and what not! This is because excess sugar intake leads to sudden rise of energy in the body, which declines after sometime leaving you feeling drained.

Young woman breastfeeding an old man in prison cell

-
This painting of a young woman breastfeeding an old man in a prison cell was sold for Euros 30 million. The painting may look perverse but the story behind is from historical records. The poor man was sentenced to "death by starvation" for stealing a loaf of bread during the reign of Louis XIV in France. The woman was his only daughter and the only visitor to his cell. She was allowed to visit him daily but was frisked thoroughly such that no food was taken in. When after 4 months the man still survived with no weight loss, the authorities were perplexed and started spying on her in the cell and to their utter astonishment found her breastfeeding her father to the fullest sharing her baby's milk. The judges then realizing the compassion and love of the woman for her father, pardoned the father and set him free. This piece of history brings into focus how deep is a woman's compassion in our daily lives that men often tend to overlook. ©️ Successful Flow

Beyond the sky

-
  The plain ground calls, Like drop of water falls, Offering bed of roses, A real or an imaginary paradise it poses, Below, I wasn't ready to break more walls. The blue bowl above remained visible, Reminding me to soar - it's advisable, A much more deadly path to thread, Many ascended, felled but I dared, Leaving my footprints there - indelible. Life has never been fair, A heavy oppression seemed to brood upon the air, Covered time and space determines our fate, Not a mere figment of a poet's fancy that you should hate, But I have made my choice like the wretched bearing Sinclair. I choose, my decision -going beyond the tumultuous sky, Bearing all the stifling sensation of pains, I still fly, Because in destitution, I see no sudden gleam of insight, Since I know only by flying higher can I see the light, With the inspired ray in my eyes, I need to try. I'm done dallying in maudlin regret over the past, Since my life is moving too fast, On a fathomless speed of movement,
