During the menstruation cycle, it is common to experience fatigue and craving for rich and greasy food. The reason is because our body is giving us the signal that we need more nutrients and energy. We should however avoid greasy and spicy food during this period. The two recipes that I am sharing for this week are super simple and easy to make especially when one doesn’t feel like doing anything.
One should eat salmon which is high in Omega-3s fatty acids and can reduce the intensity of period pain, and stop your craving for greasy food. It is common to experience a dip in your iron levels during your period, particularly if your menstrual flow is heavy. This can lead to fatigue, bodily pain, and dizziness. Leafy spinach can boost your iron level and is also rich in magnesium which can lessen the fatigue symptoms. The pasta sauce is light and creamy and matches well with the delicate nutty taste of the pasta which is made of Spelt flour and spinach.
We should avoid high sugar foods but usually we will crave chocolate during this period. So, I strongly recommend this Mint Chocolate Shot that comes with natural fruit extracts to relieve your PMS symptoms. Mint can relieve menstrual cramps and nausea by balancing the hormones.
Some eat to live, others live to eat. Throughout life, different circumstances will affect our ability to eat well. Eating a variety of food is essential in life. In other words, we need to eat to live. Eating food with a wide range of nutrients such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, and healthy fats provide our bodies with the materials needed to keep our systems functioning well. One must consult a doctor if not well and eating nutritious healthy food is the least we can do in the journey of healing.
This week our theme is on remedy for sore throat or cough. Most of the ingredients in this week’s recipes are good for our throat and lungs. Some are with high anti-inflammatory and soothing effects on our throat and lungs. The recipes are good for us who are healthy too because prevention is better than cure.
Hope you find my sharing helpful.
Singapore is a blessed country with many kinds of food available for us. In this small country, one can taste all kinds of cuisine from all over the world. This week I have picked to introduce Harissa Chili relish which originated from Tunisia. Harissa is a chili sauce typically made of dried chilies, citrus, oil, garlic and a few warm spices including caraway seeds and coriander.
Combination of both of these spices in the sauce will give your dish a kick of smokiness and a little bit of tanginess. It is a very aromatic sauce for any grain dishes, casseroles, soup or any light aromatic flavor dish. Biona Organic Harissa Chili Relish is wholesome and one of the best sauces to enhance the flavor of dishes without any unhealthy ingredients.
