Dietitian explains how food changes can ease period cramps
According to dietitian Garima Dev Verman, high-fat, processed foods and excess caffeine elevate inflammation and vascular constriction, intensifying cramps. Nutrient-dense foods rich in iron, magnesium, omega-3, and antioxidants, like spinach, flax seeds, and dark chocolate, relieve muscle tension and improve blood flow. Dietary modulation can effectively ease dysmenorrhea.
