Oily seeds
Magnesium-rich oily seeds such as walnuts, hazelnuts and almonds both reduce the urge to eat abur cubur and are good for swelling and cramps during the menstrual cycle.
Caffeine
Caffeine is an excellent painkiller and energy booster. Consuming the right amount during the menstrual cycle will also help alleviate your pain. However, if you consume more, you may experience more severe pain and swelling. Instead of caffeine, you can consume soothing drinks such as chamomile tea and ginger juice.
Bitter chocolate
Studies show that bitter chocolate satisfies cravings and increases serotonin levels. It also helps relieve depression and fatigue. Consuming a few pieces of bitter chocolate during your regular period will give you both happiness and eliminate the urge to eat abur cubur.
Water
Water is the best edema shooter. The simplest way to clean excess sodium, which leads to swelling and pain, is to drink water. If you are forced to drink water alone, you can add flavorful foods such as cinnamon, lemon, lettuce, apple, strawberry into your water.
Healthy carbohydrates
Consumption of fruits and vegetables precedes the demand for sugar during the menstrual cycle. Don't miss out on healthy carbs, especially apricots, plums, pears, lettuce, artichokes, corn and carrots.
