Now it's not a magic pill per say, but it’s as close to one you’ll find on my page.
But unlike Advil or Tylenol and other pain relievers that come with side effects (like liver issues and ulcers), kale can truly save the day.
No doubt you've heard of it. Maybe even tried it. I hope you loved it – but if it made you curl your nose up – I hope you'll give this recipe another crack.
It's not just that I personally love kale, it's that it's VERY good for you – and I want you to eat the foods that can make you feel GREAT. And kale is one of them.
Greens in what's called the Brassicacae family, including kale, collards, broccoli, napa cabbage, bok choy, cauliflower, and brussels sprouts are all rich in fiber, sulforaphane and all kinds of nutrients.
This makes them especially good for your hormones, and that's where I'm really getting at here.
Because if our hormones aren't happy, neither are we? You feel me on that, right?
But what makes kale even more special is that it contains a plant compound called indole-3-carbinol which helps to lower estrogen in the body.
So more greens = better estrogen metabolism = balanced estrogen = less cramps
I like to include these on the daily, ensuring I get a healthy dose between ovulation and menstruation to help with cramps.
Bloated with these veggies? Try broccoli sprouts, or having small, well-cooked amounts.
Comment ‘kale’ and I’ll drop you the recipe for this delicious, good for you kale salad. It only takes 10 minutes to prepare and you’ll be cramp-free and gut happy!
