Do you believe that medication is always necessary to alleviate cramps? I'm interested in hearing about your personal experiences and opinions on whether certain dietary adjustments or alternative remedies can help manage cramps effectively without relying solely on medication?

Hi there, I hope you are well. If I've to share my personal opinion as a nutritionist, and menstrual health advocate, I've never had medicines till date to alleviate cramps. Here's what you can do. 1) Incorporate enough fibre in your diet as it can help with better digestion and reduce digestion related issues during menstruation. 2) Protein is necessary for healing, and recovery,and it can reduce cravings, as well. 3) Drink herbal teas such as chamomile, spearmint, etc. 4) Avoid excessive caffeine intake or alcohol. 5) Drink more water during this phase. 6) Have a balanced meat with fruits, vegetables, beans, lean meat, eggs, dairy and dairy products, nuts, and seeds, green leafy vegetables, etc. 7) Opt for soups and lighter meals during this phase. 8) Sleep well, the more rest you take the better you will feel. 9) A heating pad is a hero. 10) Listen to calming music and ensure to do some physical activity, it really helps :) Take care ✨

I have a history of binge eating. What steps can I take to break this cycle and develop a healthier relationship with food?
Hii dear, firstly Identifying the root cause of your binge eating is crucial. Once you understand why you turn to food, you can begin addressing those underlying issues. Setting boundaries around your eating habits can help prevent impulsive behavior. Practicing mindfulness while eating encourages awareness of your body's hunger and fullness cues, promoting healthier eating habits.
Firstly, Practice mindful eating, identify triggers, seek support from a therapist or support group, and focus on balanced meals and regular eating patterns.

I often find myself reaching for unhealthy snacks when I'm stressed. What strategies can I use to curb emotional eating?
hina-8d
To curb emotional eating, try finding alternative ways to cope with stress such as practicing mindfulness, deep breathing exercises, going for a walk, or engaging in a hobby you enjoy. Keep healthy snacks readily available, and try to identify triggers for emotional eating so you can address them directly. Additionally, consider seeking support from friends, family, or a therapist to develop healthier coping mechanisms.

You can practice meditation to calm yourself down .Also you can switch to healthier snack

I often feel pressured to eat a certain way or follow strict diet rules to fit in with my peers. Is there a way I can stay true to my own nutritional needs and preferences without giving in to external pressures?
If you force yourself into a diet, it might not be as effective as it could be. Additionally, it's not necessary to eliminate all foods; there are always alternatives available. I would suggest consulting a nutritionist who can help you create a personalized plan to manage your cravings and calorie intake
Anonymous7d
There's no need to feel pressured about it. You eat what you like and want to eat.

I often find myself binge eating or eating till my stomach hurts but it’s nearly always healthy stuff like dried cranberries, nuts, roasted murmura. Is it still bad?
what does your body say after you do that? hint stomach is already hurting?
Anything in excess be it healthy or unhealthy is not good. You should eat in required and small quantities.
