[Enrique Lores]

You might have learned in biology class that periods occur when the uterus contracts to help shed the uterine lining through the vagina. But what is not commonly known is that to enable these contractions, inflammatory hormone-like substances called prostaglandins are released. Too many prostaglandins can cause the uterus to contract strongly and reduce the flow of oxygen to the uterus muscles, causing severe cramps.

While these may be great for your taste buds, unfortunately, they don’t help reduce the effects of your recipes for period cramps or the accompanying fatigue. But, before you give up and resign yourself to the fate that you have no control over your monthly spasms, we have some good news for you.
