Lifestyle Changes To Keep Periods Pain At Bay

For almost all women, periods are the most uncomfortable time. During this time, many women experience pain, bloating, and discomfort. This is because a lot of nutrients are lost during this process, and issues like pain, bloating, and discomfort are common when we don't get enough nutrients in our diet on a regular basis. It could also be due to lack of exercise and following a sedentary lifestyle.

Nidhi Nahata, a nutritionist, health coach, and the founder of Bangalore's Justbe Resto Café, offers advice on how to manage pain, bloating, and discomfort during your periods.

1. Exercise

Exercise is a medicine. Over time, regular exercise improves blood flow, reduces inflammation, and boosts energy.

2. Stay Hydrated

Keeping yourself hydrated at all times is important. It reduces mood swings and helps in minimising bloating.
