Cramps, fatigue, headaches, and nausea – we've all been there. So, what's the secret to feeling better? Well, it's all about eating right and staying hydrated. Oh, and don't forget to drink plenty of water. If you throw in a little exercise, you might just find yourself feeling a whole lot better. Let's take a look at the foods that come to the rescue during that time of the month:
