Women faces a lot of things because of the processes our body goes through in all our developmental stages. Understanding how our body works and handling our health with utmost priority should be our aim because no one would understand your body better than you do.
I can say I'm blessed to be part of those ladies who during and after their periods do not need to take anything whatsoever, I'm just fine. I don't take any supplements or drugs because I intend to prepare myself for my monthly menstrual cycle at all, I'm not prone to any menstrual cramps in any way.
Although while I was much younger let's say during my junior secondary school days, I do have cramps once in a while let's say once in four months all because I don't study the way my body behaves with things I eat when expecting my monthly flow or during it.

But when I got to the senior school, I got to understand genetics better and this makes me to be conscious of what to eat and what to avoid before and during my cycle so as to look out for my body.
One of the things I avoided before and during my monthly flow is intake of sugary things, cold foods and carbonated drinks. I drink water a lot during my flows, eat more veggies and bath with warm water, I try as much as possible to avoid cold bath no matter the weather condition and I also avoided been idle most especially during the first day of my flow.
I do engage myself in activities to exercise my body for instance if I'm at work, I try to walk up and down looking for one or two things to do so that I won't be in a spot for so long so as to keep me active for the day.
These routines has helped and still helping me till now to take good care of my body both physically and mentally. And it has prevented me from taking any supplements whatsoever before or during my monthly menstrual cycle. I don't experience any cramps at all, no anxiety, nothing I'm just fine during my cycles
