Menstruation, commonly known as period, is a normal vaginal bleeding which occurs on a monthly basis. Regular menstrual periods are a sign of good reproductive health and hormonal balance.
However, almost every woman will encounter period struggles at some point in life.
Common Period Struggles
Women’s menstrual struggles and experiences can be highly personal and one-of-a-kind. There is no one-size-fits-all approach when dealing with menstrual health.
Nutrition and Menstrual Health
According to Mintel, studies have shown that good nutrition is highly associated with healthy menstrual cycle, which will then affect the mental health as well.
