This egg roll in a bowl is the ultimate menstrual meal, because not only does it contain all the key nutrients for this phase of the cycle but it's also a 1 pan recipe that takes less than 30 minutes to make. So if you're low in energy, you can still easily nourish your body! Menstrual Phase: ✨What’s going on in your body? All your hormones are at their lowest levels, as is your energy, and you’re losing blood - which means you’re losing some important nutrients! Take extra care of your body and give her lots of love! ✨What to focus on during this phase? During the menstrual phase, it's important to consume micronutrients that support blood production and kidney function. Eating foods high in protein and healthy fats will help stabilize your energy and mood while your brain adjusts to the hormonal downshift. Eat foods high in Vitamin B for energy, and remineralize your body with iron and zinc. ✨What micronutrients does your body need? - Omega-3s to lower FSH levels (high FSH levels can lead to PCOS) and reduce inflammation - Iron - it’s found in red blood cells and is important for growth, neurological development, cellular functioning, and synthesis of hormones. - Vitamin C to aid iron absorption - Magnesium to help with cramping - Vitamin B12 for red blood cell formation and to energize you - Zinc to reduce inflammation ✨What foods in this recipe are good for the menstrual phase? Pork, kale, and mushrooms https://www.simple-skillet.com/post/egg-roll-in-a-bowl #cyclesyncing #pcos #hormonehealing #guthealth #menstrualphase #healthymeal

Replying to @Hananas143 What is cycle syncing? The practice of eating and living in accordance with each phase of the menstrual cycle to help correct and maintain hormonal balance. There are 4 phases of the menstrual cycle: menstrual, follicular, ovulatory, luteal. Your levels of testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone vary throughout each phase, affecting your energy levels and mood. This is normal! We want our hormones to vary, just in the proper levels. Follicular Phase: Estrogen is on the rise! Your energy levels are rising, so you want to eat protein to sustain your body and match the increased energy levels. Ovulatory Phase: Estrogen and Testosterone peak. You’re feeling energized, strong, beautiful, social, and confident. Luteal Phase: Estrogen begins to decline after ovulation. Progesterone builds up in the first part of the luteal phase, then if you are not pregnant it will decline again, until it hits its lowest levels going into menstrual. Menstrual Phase: Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone are all at their lowest levels. Energy levels are low, but mood is stable. This is a good time to be introspective and analytical, but also to relax and unwind. #cyclesyncing #cyclesyncingrecipes #healthybreakfast #pcosdiet
