Nutrition for Your Cycle: Eat Smart Through Every Phase
Did you know the foods you eat can significantly impact how you feel throughout your menstrual cycle?
At Terraverde Care, we believe holistic wellness goes hand-in-hand with quality period care. Let's explore how to nourish your body through each phase of your 28-day journey.
🩸 MENSTRUAL PHASE (Days 1-5) What's Happening: Your body is shedding the uterine lining. Iron levels drop, and you may feel fatigued.
Foods to Eat:
📌 Iron-rich foods - Red meat, spinach, lentils, beans (replenish lost iron) •
📌Vitamin C - Oranges, bell peppers, strawberries (boosts iron absorption) •
📌Omega-3 fatty acids - Salmon, walnuts, flaxseeds (reduces inflammation and cramps)
📌Dark chocolate - Magnesium helps ease cramps and mood
📌Ginger & turmeric - Natural anti-inflammatory properties
📌 Water-rich foods - Cucumber, watermelon (stay hydrated)
Avoid: Excessive caffeine, salty foods, and refined sugars that can worsen bloating and cramps.

🌱 FOLLICULAR PHASE (Days 6-14) What's Happening: Estrogen rises, energy increases, and metabolism is slightly higher.
Foods to Eat:
📌Lean proteins - Chicken, fish, eggs, tofu (support tissue repair)
📌Fermented foods - Yogurt, kimchi, sauerkraut (gut health supports hormone balance)
📌Whole grains - Oats, quinoa, brown rice (sustained energy)
📌Fresh vegetables - Broccoli, zucchini, carrots (fiber helps metabolize estrogen)
📌 Seeds - Pumpkin and flax seeds (hormone-balancing lignans)
📌Berries - Antioxidants support cellular health
Focus on: Light, energizing meals that fuel your naturally high energy levels.

✨OVULATION PHASE (Days 14-16) What's Happening: Estrogen peaks, you're at your most energetic, and your body needs antioxidants.
Foods to Eat:
📌Colorful vegetables - Bell peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens (antioxidants)
📌Fruits - Berries, citrus fruits (vitamin C and fiber)
📌 Raw vegetables - Salads, crudités (you can digest raw foods better now)
📌Light proteins - Fish, chicken, legumes
📌Whole fruits - Your body can handle natural sugars well during this phase
📌Glutathione-rich foods - Asparagus, avocado (liver support for hormone metabolism)
This is your lightest eating phase - your body is naturally efficient now.

🌙 LUTEAL PHASE (Days 17-28) What's Happening: Progesterone rises, metabolism increases slightly, you may experience PMS symptoms and cravings.
Foods to Eat:
📌 Complex carbohydrates - Sweet potatoes, quinoa, whole grain pasta (stabilize blood sugar and serotonin)
📌Magnesium-rich foods - Dark leafy greens, almonds, pumpkin seeds (reduce PMS symptoms)
📌Calcium sources - Dairy, fortified plant milk, tahini (helps with mood and cramps)
📌 B-vitamins - Chickpeas, bananas, poultry (support energy and mood)
📌 Healthy fats - Avocado, nuts, olive oil (hormone production)
📌 Sesame seeds - Support progesterone production
📌 Herbal teas - Chamomile, peppermint (calming and digestive support)
Honor your cravings but choose nutrient-dense versions - craving chocolate? Go dark. Want carbs? Choose whole grains.

GENERAL TIPS FOR CYCLE-SYNCED NUTRITION:
✓ Stay Hydrated - Water helps with bloating, energy, and detoxification
✓ Limit Caffeine & Alcohol - Especially during luteal and menstrual phases
✓ Reduce Processed Foods - They can worsen inflammation and hormonal imbalances
✓ Listen to Your Body - Cravings often signal what your body needs

For Mood Swings: Complex carbs, B-vitamins, omega-3s, magnesium For
Fatigue: Iron, protein, complex carbohydrates, B-vitamins

Period Pain vs. Warning Signs: Know the Difference 🩺
At Terraverde Care, we believe in more than just providing quality menstrual products, we're committed to empowering women with knowledge about their health.
Let's talk about something crucial: When is period pain normal, and when should you see a doctor?

✅ NORMAL PERIOD CRAMPS:
• Mild to moderate cramping in the lower abdomen
• Pain that's manageable with over-the-counter medication
• Discomfort that lasts 1-3 days, typically at cycle start
• Responds well to heat therapy, rest, or gentle exercise
• Doesn't prevent you from daily activities
• Consistent pattern month to month
This is dysmenorrhea, common and manageable.

🚨 WARNING SIGNS THAT NEED MEDICAL ATTENTION:
See a doctor if you experience:
❌ Severe, debilitating pain that disrupts daily life
❌ Pain unrelieved by standard pain medication
❌ Heavy bleeding (soaking through protection every 1-2 hours)
❌ Periods lasting more than 7 days
❌ Painful in*******se or bowel movements during menstruation
❌ Irregular bleeding between periods
❌ Blood clots larger than a quarter
❌ Sudden changes in your usual cycle pattern
❌ Extreme fatigue, dizziness, or shortness of breath
❌ Nausea and vomiting with periods

🔍 WHAT THESE SYMPTOMS COULD INDICATE:
Endometriosis Tissue similar to uterine lining grows outside the uterus, causing severe pain and potential fertility issues.
Polycystic O***y Syndrome (PCOS) Hormonal imbalance causing irregular periods, excessive bleeding, and other symptoms.
Uterine Fibroids Non-cancerous growths causing heavy bleeding, prolonged periods, and pelvic pressure.
Adenomyosis Uterine lining grows into muscular wall, causing heavy, painful periods.
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) Infection of reproductive organs requiring immediate treatment.

💡 WHAT YOU CAN DO:
✓ Track your symptoms - Use a period tracking app or journal
✓ Document specifics - Pain level (1-10), flow heaviness, duration
✓ Know your normal - Understanding your baseline helps identify changes
✓ Advocate for yourself - Don't let anyone dismiss your pain
✓ Seek second opinions - If one doctor doesn't listen, find another
✓ Stay protected - Use reliable products that let you monitor your flow

Our Commitment:
While Terraverde Care Pads keep you comfortable and protected through every phase, we encourage you to prioritize your overall menstrual health. Quality period care includes both the right products AND the right medical attention when you need it.
Remember: Severe period pain is NOT normal, and you don't have to suffer through it. Your health matters, and seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
📍 When in doubt, consult a healthcare provider. Early diagnosis leads to better outcomes.

Understanding Your Cycle: More Than Just Your Period 🌙

Did you know menstruation is only one phase of your monthly cycle? Let's break down the complete 28-day journey and how understanding it can transform your wellbeing:

🌱 Phase 1: Menstrual Phase (Days 1-5)
Your period begins. Energy levels are typically lower as your body sheds the uterine lining. This is your body's natural reset.
What you need: Reliable protection, rest, and gentle self-care.

🌸 Phase 2: Follicular Phase (Days 6-14)
Estrogen rises and energy surges. You may feel more creative, social, and motivated. Your body is preparing for ovulation.
What you experience: Mental clarity, optimism, and physical strength.

✨ Phase 3: Ovulation (Days 14-16)
Peak fertility window. Confidence and communication skills are at their highest. You may notice increased body temperature.
*What happens:* An egg is released, and energy levels peak.

🌙 Phase 4: Luteal Phase (Days 17-28)
Progesterone increases. Energy gradually decreases, and you may experience PMS symptoms like mood changes, bloating, or fatigue as your body prepares for menstruation or pregnancy.
What you need: Extra patience, nourishing foods, and comfortable protection as your next cycle approaches.

Why This Matters:
When you understand your cycle, you can:
✓ Plan activities around your energy levels
✓ Recognize what's normal for YOUR body
✓ Reduce anxiety about cyclical changes
✓ Make informed health decisions
✓ Choose the right protection for each phase

Knowledge is power. When we understand our bodies, we can show up fully in every phase of life.

🩷 Stay protected through every phase with Terraverde Care Pads, designed with your comfort, health, and dignity in mind throughout your entire cycle.
