One part of life that cannot be avoided by women is their menstrual cycle or commonly known as the period. When the time of the month comes, we often experience various emotional changes and the majority experiences menstrual cramps to the point of crying and having to lie in bed. Amongst others, women often feel weak for a day or two because of cramps in the waist and uterus during their period. While there are painkillers that can relieve pain temporarily, we have to remember these medications have side effects that can affect health. So, these painkillers are not the best choice for long-term health.

If you want to know, a healthy diet including drinks play an important role in reducing menstruation. If you easily lose your appetite when Aunty Flow comes to visit, you can try drinking nutritious juices so that your body gets nutrients that can reduce inflammation. Let's find out the 3 best and most nutritious juices that can help relieve your cramp period!

Ginger Apple Juice

‍

For your information, a glass of apple ginger juice can provide 25% more potassium and minerals than daily needs. Potassium is often associated with the ability to improve our mood, so that's why it is very suitable to drink while we are experiencing premenstrual syndrome. Ginger can help relieve cramps so that we do not lose a lot of energy throughout the day. Not only that, this juice is rich in iron and calcium and high in alkalinity which helps nourish the reproductive system and cells in the body.
