What if we tell you that we can make the most dreaded period infliction go away? Imagine gliding through your shark week minus the cramps. Ah! Sounds like a dream, right? Well, it can be a reality if you follow this detailed guide on how to get rid of period cramps. Read on to make your life easier during period cycle:
How To Get Rid Of Period Cramps
Period cramps are hands-down the most gruelling side-effect of getting your monthlies. They can knock you down, disrupt your routine, and make shark week tougher than it already is. So here are 10 genius ways to take the edge off period cramps
Exercise
Exercising during shark week may sound like a tough deal. According to a study published in the journal Women’s Health, it can alleviate period cramps naturally. This is because physical activities get your blood circulation going and release happy hormones (endorphins) that boost your mood and reduce pain. Nope, you don’t have to choose a rigorous regime. A 20-minute low-intensity workout that stretches your muscles can help you a great deal.
Stay Hydrated
Folks, did you know that dehydration can make your period cramps worse? It can reduce the blood flow to the uterus, causing it to respond in form of cramps. Ouch! So, keep yourself hydrated. Drink healthy fluids like coconut water and fruit smoothies.
Ginger-Chamomile Tea
While chamomile calms your nerves, ginger is a proven, natural pain killer. Sipping on a chamomile-ginger tea during shark week can work like magic on period cramps and help you relax too. All you need to do is boil ginger and chamomile in water, strain it and sip it hot.
Increase Your Fibre & Whole Foods Intake
PMS-induced cravings can lead to junk-food binging. Replace packaged foods with whole foods to satisfy your cravings. Foods like barley, wheat, fruits, and vegetables provide the right nutrition and give you a good fibre dose. This prevents cravings and keeps you more energetic to face the red-letter days like a boss.
Dark Chocolate For The Win
Yum! Dark chocolate (70% cocoa) is rich in magnesium, which helps relieve period cramps. It also triggers the body to release endorphins which again help you feel better.
Get Naughty, Hottie!
Orgasms, pal, are a scientifically proven way to relieve cramps. They help release endorphins that block pain and enhance the parts of our brain responsible for pleasure.
Snooze Away To Glory
While exercise is a great way to relieve period cramps, you have to work on striking the right balance between rest and physical activity. Getting adequate quality sleep helps in relaxing your abdominal muscles.
Count On The Soaked Raisins & Kesar Combo
Soak 3-4 raisins and have it first thing in the morning with some kesar (saffron). Raisins are a natural laxative and help keep your stomach clear. Kesar increases the serotonin levels and helps ease the pain.
Say No To Painkillers
Consuming OTC painkillers to deal with period cramps can obstruct the contractions of the uterus. It can even damage your vital organs like kidney and heart in the long run. So turn to natural pain-relieving methods like sticking a pain-relief patch instead of popping a pill.
