Beans, lentils, chickpeas, split peas, and other legumes are an excellent choice for lunch or dinner while you’re having your period. Legumes are high in fiber which helps with congestive problems and alleviates water retention by ridding the body of excess fluids. They’re also high in B vitamins which are great for menstrual symptoms.
豆子、扁豆、鷹嘴豆、去皮的豌豆及其他的豆類食物，在月經期間都是午飯或晚飯的極佳選擇。豆類富含纖維，能幫助減輕充血問題、緩和水腫、消除體內多余的液體。它們也富含B族維生素，這對減輕月經癥狀是極好的。
4.Yogurt
4. 酸奶
There are many benefits to eating yogurt during your menstruation cycle. Of course, the bacterial cultures (all good!) in yogurt help to regulate your gastrointestinal system, but yogurt is also high in calcium which helps to reduce menstrual pain and discomfort. Just don’t eat too much dairy since it all has arachidonic acids which can contribute to cramping.
月經期間喝酸奶有很多益處。眾所周知，酸奶中的益生菌能調節你的腸胃系統，另外酸奶也富含鈣質，能幫助你減輕痛經和不舒服的感覺。但是不要吃太多乳制品，因為里面含有花生四烯酸，可能會導致痙攣。
5. Broccoli and Kale
5. 西蘭花和甘藍
These super foods are high in antioxidants and loaded with vitamins. But they also contain a lot of calcium which is important for women’s health and helpful for mitigating menstrual pain.

6. Miso, Shoyu, or Tamir

7. Flaxseed Oil
7. 亞麻籽油
High in omega fatty acids (EFAs), flaxseed oil is a wonderful choice for women going through their periods. EFAs help in the formation of prostaglandins, which in turn help to ease cramps.
亞麻籽油富含ω-3脂肪酸（必需脂肪酸）， 對經期的婦女來說是非常好的的選擇。必需脂肪酸有助于生成能緩解抽筋的前列腺素。
8. Water
8. 水
Above all else, be sure that you’re drinking enough water during your menstruation cycle. Water amazingly is what you need to ingest in order to fight bloating and fluid retention which cause aching pains, cramping, and other menstruation symptoms. If you don’t drink enough, your body may overcompensate by retaining fluids.
除了上面的這些食物，確保在經期喝足夠的水。令人驚訝的是，要想減輕腹脹、痛經、痙攣或其他月經癥狀，只需要多喝些水，這些月經癥狀是由腹部腫脹和體液潴留引起的。如果你沒有喝足水，你的身體為保持體液可能會矯枉過正。
