Abdominal pain is one of the unpleasant feelings that women have to go through during their menstrual period. Some easy-to-find and easy-to-prepare foods can help women reduce the pain.

Salmon:Salmon contains omega-3 fatty acids that help reduce inflammation, which is helpful in relieving pain - including menstrual pain. It's also a rich source of vitamin D and B6, which help you absorb calcium better and reduce the feeling of pain in the abdomen and chest during menstruation. Photo:Nutritious Life.

Dark green leafy vegetables:Blood loss during menstruation can leave your body lacking iron, leaving you feeling tired and lethargic. Dark green leafy vegetables like kale and spinach are not only rich in iron, but also contain many nutritious vitamins. Photo:Gorgeous Girl.

Banana, pineapple and kiwi:Bananas contain a large amount of B6 and potassium, which helps reduce bloating and pain during your period. You can combine bananas with pineapple and kiwi to increase the effectiveness, because pineapple contains bromelain - an enzyme that helps fight inflammation, and kiwi is rich in actinidin - which helps you digest protein better.

Foods rich in calcium:Calcium will help reduce menstrual cramps. You can drink milk, eat dark green vegetables or seafood. Photo:O'Trafford.

Oatmeal:In addition to being delicious and nutritious, oats are also rich in zinc and magnesium, which help dilate blood vessels and stabilize serotonin - a chemical that helps fight feelings of despair in the brain. They will help you feel more relaxed and comfortable during your period. Photo:Sneaky Veg.

Peanut butter:This food is also a rich source of magnesium, which helps stabilize serotonin and reduce bloating and flatulence. However, you should pay attention to only choose the unsalted or low-salt type to not reduce the effect. Photo:Cooking Light.
