During menstruation, many women experience a greater appetite for sweets and fatty snacks due to hormonal fluctuations, which can be associated with poorer mood and fatigue. A variety of meals with protein, healthy fats and complex carbohydrates, controlling snack portions, mindful eating and adequate hydration can help. Using healthy alternatives and combining ingredients in nutritious combinations allows you to satisfy cravings without feeling guilty. If you find it difficult to maintain your habits or have severe mood swings, it is worth consulting a specialist about your diet.
