Periods Decoded - Day 6 The last day of my series ❤️
These are the 15 foods my mother never let me eat during my periods. Not because they stop your periods, but because traditional Ayurveda believes they can weaken Agni (digestive fire) and, in some women, worsen bloating, cramps, sluggish digestion, water retention, or inflammation.
❌ Ice cold drinks
❌ Cold milkshakes
❌ Aerated drinks
❌ Excess ice cream
❌ Packaged juices
❌ Deep fried snacks
❌ Excess coffee
❌ Very spicy street food
❌ Instant noodles
❌ Bakery cakes & pastries
❌ Sugary chocolates
❌ Processed chips
❌ Mooli (radish)
❌ Excess curd, especially at night
❌ Cold salads straight from the fridge
✅ Instead, she always made me warm besan sheera with ghee. Warm, freshly cooked foods are traditionally preferred during menstruation because they're gentler on digestion. Besan also adds some protein, while ghee provides fat that slows digestion and helps keep energy more stable.

Periods Decoded - Day 5 👉 "Kam bleeding toh achi baat hai."
This is one of the biggest myths I hear in my clinic.
A lighter period isn't automatically a problem—but if your flow has become noticeably lighter than it used to be, or it's accompanied by fatigue, hair fall, weight changes, or irregular cycles, it's worth paying attention to.
This client didn't need a crash diet or endless supplements.
She needed enough nourishment, protein, healthy fats, movement, sleep, and consistency.
One of the foods we included? 🌱 Pumpkin seeds—along with black sesame, warm nourishing meals, and a balanced diet designed around her needs.
Every woman's cycle is different, so there isn't one food that "fixes" light periods. But giving your body the nutrients it needs can make a meaningful difference as part of a personalized plan.
Comment "FLOW" ❤️ to get my foods that support a healthy menstrual cycle.
DM "FLOW" if your periods have become lighter or shorter recently and you'd like to see if my team can help identify what may be contributing and whether personalized nutrition support is right for you.

Nobody talks about this fruit anymore... but our mothers definitely knew about it. 🍈
Lakucha (also called Barhar, Dahu or Badahara) belongs to the same family as jackfruit and mulberry, and has been used in traditional Indian diets for generations.
What makes it interesting?
✨ Rich in antioxidants
✨ Has anti-inflammatory properties
✨ Traditionally used for overall wellness
✨ Contains a powerful compound called Oxyresveratrol
Research suggests oxyresveratrol may help reduce oxidative stress, one of the factors linked to premature ageing and poor scalp health. While no single food can stop hair fall on its own, adding nutrient-rich traditional foods like this can support healthier hair from within.
How you can enjoy it:
🥭 Eat it fresh when in season
🥤 Add it to smoothies or juices
🌿 Use the raw fruit in regional curries and chutneys
Bringing these forgotten foods back to your plate... consistently. 💛

Andar Se Glow Drink 🌸✨
Sometimes the simplest rituals work the best.
This ₹10 morning drink combines ghee and kesar to support healthy digestion, better nutrient absorption, and a natural glow from within.
💛 Ghee provides butyrate, a fatty acid that nourishes the gut lining.
🌸 Kesar contains powerful antioxidants like crocin and crocetin that help protect skin cells and support an even-looking complexion.
✨ Combining saffron with healthy fats improves the absorption of its beneficial compounds.
The result? A simple morning ritual that supports gut health, skin health, and overall wellness—using ingredients already present in your kitchen.
Save this and try it consistently for 10 days. Consistency always beats expensive supplements. 🌼

Dark chocolate is actually good for PCOS. 🍫
But only if you're choosing real dark chocolate.
People with PCOS often struggle with insulin resistance, cravings, energy crashes, and inflammation. The good news? High-quality dark chocolate can support all of them.
Here's why:
✅ Cocoa flavonoids may help improve insulin sensitivity.
✅ Its antioxidants help reduce oxidative stress and inflammation linked to PCOS.
✅ Magnesium in dark chocolate supports mood, sleep, and stress management.
✅ It helps satisfy sweet cravings without the blood sugar spikes of regular desserts.
The key is choosing 70% or higher cocoa content and enjoying it in moderation.
So NO you don't have to fear chocolate when you have PCOS.
You just need to choose the right kind. 🤎
Save this for the next time someone tells you chocolate is "unhealthy." 🔖
