Do you also feel bloated during your Period?

Girls – It's perfectly normal to feel bloated during your period. However, with a few simple tips, you can reduce this feeling. As previously announced on Instagram, we'd like to share some tips with you:

1. Fill your plate with non-bloating foods. Foods high in potassium, such as bananas, tomatoes, and asparagus, contribute to a balanced fluid balance.

2. Yes, we're looking at you, broccoli and Brussels sprouts. Perhaps the healthy food Instagram accounts inspire you to eat them, but both vegetables also contain a complex sugar called raffinose. Humans lack the enzyme to break it down properly, which can lead to bloating.

3. Working out is probably the last thing you want to do. But experts say getting your heart rate up is one of the best ways to relieve PMS symptoms—including bloating.

4. Alcohol and coffee can worsen PMS symptoms like breast tenderness, mood swings, and bloating, so it may help to avoid them for now.
