Which cycle phase is best suited for a juice cure?
There are different views on which phase of the female cycle is best suited for a juice cure. Every woman is unique and experiences her cycle in different ways. Therefore, everyone should listen to their own body and consider their individual needs.
Some experts recommend starting a juice cleanse during the first half of the cycle, i.e. in the days after menstruation until ovulation. During this phase, oestrogen levels in the body rise, which is often accompanied by increased energy levels and improved digestion. This can help you to tolerate the juice cleanse better and feel more energetic during it.
Other experts argue that the second half of the cycle, i.e. the time after ovulation until the start of menstruation, is the best phase for a juice cleanse. During this phase, progesterone levels are higher, which can have a calming effect on the body. A juice cleanse could help to alleviate possible PMS symptoms and support the body in preparing for menstruation.
How can I support my body before menstruation with a juice cure?
Menstruation often brings with it unpleasant symptoms. For many women, these are particularly pronounced several days before the start of their period. PMS (premenstrual syndrome) comprises a variety of complex symptoms. Physical symptoms include breast tenderness, bloating, headaches, fatigue, joint pain and water retention. Emotional symptoms include mood swings, irritability, depression, nervousness and difficulty concentrating. In terms of behavior, PMS manifests itself in cravings, increased appetite, changes in sleep patterns, sensitivity to smells and increased withdrawal. The exact causes of PMS are not fully understood, but hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle are thought to be a major factor.
The following aspects of a juice cleanse can strengthen the body before menstruation and help to reduce PMS symptoms:
Nutrient-rich intake
During the premenstrual phase, women often have an increased need for nutrients. A juice diet consisting of a variety of fresh, nutrient-rich ingredients such as fruit, vegetables, nuts and seeds can ensure that the body receives the nutrients it needs to function optimally and prepare for the menstruation it requires.
Anti-inflammatory effect
Inflammation in the body can contribute to menstrual cramps. Juices rich in anti-inflammatory ingredients such as green leafy vegetables, turmeric and ginger can help reduce inflammation and promote overall wellbeing.
Reducing stress
Stress can affect the menstrual cycle and exacerbate PMS symptoms. A juice cleanse can help reduce stress by nourishing the body and promoting overall wellbeing.
What should I bear in mind during menstruation?
Adequate fluid intake
During menstruation, the body can lose additional fluid. It is important to drink enough fluids during a juice cleanse to keep the body hydrated. Make sure to drink enough water in addition to the juices.
Iron-rich juices
During menstruation, the body has an increased need for iron as blood is lost. Juices with iron-rich ingredients, such as spinach, kale or beet. Iron-rich juices can help prevent possible iron deficiency symptoms. Our Life Blood Juice with beet is therefore just the thing during your period and is of course included in our Classic Juice Cures!
Promote stress management
Menstruation is often accompanied by stress and emotional changes. A juice cure can have a stress-reducing effect, but it is also important to use other stress-reducing techniques, such as relaxation exercises, meditation or yoga.
