Bloating During Periods? Here's How to Beat It!

Let’s be real! Feeling like a balloon during your period is no fun. That heavy, puffy sensation isn’t just in your head. It's called hormonal water retention, and it affects many menstruators right before or during their cycle.

But the good news? You don’t have to suffer through it every month. Let's break down why it happens and how to feel lighter and more comfortable, naturally.

Why Does Period Bloating Happen?

During your cycle, your body goes through hormonal shifts, especially with estrogen and progesterone. These changes can:

• Cause your body to retain water and salt

• Slow down digestion (hello, constipation)

• Increase cravings for salty or sugary foods

All of this adds up to that bloated, uncomfortable feeling you know too well.

Natural Ways to Reduce Period Bloating

Here are simple, effective ways to ease the puffiness and beat the bloat:

1. Drink Herbal Teas
Warm drinks like ginger or peppermint tea help soothe your gut, reduce water retention, and calm your system.

2. Hydrate More, Not Less
Drinking more water actually helps your body release excess fluid. Strange but true.

3. Move a Little
You don’t need an intense workout. A short walk, gentle yoga, or stretching can get things moving and reduce bloating.

4. Watch the Salt & Sugar
We know, cravings hit hard, but cutting down on processed snacks can do wonders for bloating.
