 Welcome back to my channel guys. It's your girl Coco styles and on this channel. We talk about beauty fashion and lifestyle But in today's video, I'm gonna give you guys five tips on how to Get rid of cramps and guys. I'm gonna give you a little backstory on my cycle and how that whole thing was happening for me, but first I am a vegan. So I do not eat any meat any cheese Any dairy for whatever reason people still ask me those questions, but I don't eat any of that stuff So I was an alkaline vegan, which I am probably like 95% alkaline now because I have incorporated some other vegetables and stuff that's not alkaline, but That's neither here nor there. However some years back, you know, I decided to go vegan and Just you know change my lifestyle, whatever because it is a lifestyle, but I noticed that my menstrual cycle was changing and I don't know if it was because The foods that I was in taking because I don't buy regular rice Sometimes I would eat it if I go out, but 98% of the time I am eating wild rice. So Last week, maybe maybe a couple of weeks ago I decided to do a raw vegan diet I did document it guys and I did lose like five pounds and like a half an inch. I think on my waist, but For a couple of years I've been trying to document my cycle and how My cramps were like the flow and stuff like that But I decided to do this video because this last time that I you know, did have my my cycle I had zero cramps guys And I would say I would like to give credit to doing the raw vegan the week before but I do know that Being a vegan does help well What I would say cutting out carbs and sugars and anything like that and fried foods and stuff but this time I had zero cramps now I Have some notes in for you guys because one of the things on my list that I want to tell you guys is a herb that I've been drinking for a couple of years now and I don't drink it every day I just drink it the week before my cycle and the week of my cycle So I'll try to start in taking it a couple of times a week before and then the week of it I usually drink it two times a day. Maybe just to make sure that I'm good But I'm just gonna get started guys. So I My cramps used to be so bad to the point where I would just Log off from work and not even care about even getting fired because it was just that bad I'm talking about like the chills and stuff and you know, just just just horrible Okay, and I know some of you ladies out here are experiencing these same things but I'm gonna tell you what I did and I would recommend anybody at least try it out because I do not like pills So if I can try anything that's natural to avoid me taking a pill I'm gonna try that first. So I'm just gonna get right into it really quick guys And like I said, I am looking down here because I wanted to make sure that I grabbed everything for you so Like I said, the story behind me is just that it was just it wasn't cramps every day It was probably like that third day and it just would take me out for the count. So again, I am vegan So I did do some things differently the last week the week the last time the week before my cycle started so First thing I would say is number one is to eat clean and what I mean by eat clean is no fried foods No starches no sugar try to eat raw if you can and I'm only saying raw because like I said this last time I didn't even realize that it was on to be honest So stay away from sugar stay away from fried foods if you can Try your best to eat raw is only through your cycle You know what I would say the week before your cycle Because that's how I did it. So the week before your cycle try your best to eat as clean as you possibly can Don't drink any liquor. Don't do any of that stuff And see if you notice a difference in your cycle when you are on it You know the following week or whatever, but just kind of keep track of it and Eat the cleanest as you can the week before and I'm telling you guys you will definitely See a difference in even your flow of stuff. So that's number one is to eat clean try to eat clean take out everything that is no bueno for you and You know go from there. So if you have to Write it down today. I'm gonna do this or write down prepare what you're gonna eat for the week I Would say do that because that did help me too because it's hard You know, you don't realize how much like hot food until you can't have hot food So I would say kind of write that stuff down what you want to eat if you guys want me to because I did document my thing I'm probably gonna load a video sooner or later on the things that I did eat but eat clean and Just take out all fried foods breads and rice take all that out the week before guys So that's tip number one tip number two is the herb that I was telling you start incorporating some herbs stinging nettle That's the name of the herb guys this herb listen to me this herb is like Magic for me. So I recommend you guys trying it out. Try it out. Just try it out You need you only need a little bit and get you like a nice teapot Or something where you can fuse like the herbs and stuff in it and drink it throughout the week before You know a couple of days out the week, but the week of like I said, I would recommend you guys Drinking it two to three times a day You don't have to do it through your entire cycle because you'll notice that you're not having any cramps So that's tip number two drinking herbs in this particular herb is called stinging nettle And I will link I would try to link some There's some Instagram pages that you know people saw hers, but you could actually find it online on your local herb store I recommend that too because you could actually go in there and pick out all the herbs that you need So that's tip number two tip number three is to Incorporate another herb called I always pronounce it wrong Sausage of perilla you have the Jamaican kind and you have the Mexican kind I haven't seen other ones out there, but those are the two that I normally get now those are really high in iron and I recommend also in taking that too when you are on your on your cycle because you're actually losing blood And you want to get that iron back in and it's a natural way not an iron pill just a tea Drink a tea in guys. I'm telling you you will be golden. I'm telling you guys so that's number three So that's two teas. I'm gonna link everything below for you guys so you can get the spelling correct So pick up those two herbs and keep them in your home. I keep them on rotation here because one I Cycle I mean I have a cycle every month, right? So that's something that I want to keep and I don't want to like run out of it since I know it works for me so that's number three Tip number four is a heating pad Now tips one two and three Should work. I'm telling you it should work. It should work. It should work. Okay, if that does not work For you tip number four would be is to get a heating pad so Prior to me even Knowing about this herb. I used to just use a heating pad and for whatever reason it helped But I was still in pain I would fall asleep with it on my stomach and it was just one dangerous because it's like plugged in To you know, it just wasn't Something that I can I couldn't leave it on my stomach all day You can't go to work with a heating pad on your stomach You can't walk around your house with a heating pad on so but I do think that it does help with relieving Some of the cramps in your stomach So I would say keep that on standby If you really really need it, so that's number four is to have a heating pad on Standby we need one anyway because it does help with like your shoulders being tight and stuff like that so that's tip number four and tip number five will be a hot shower and It's the same thing like the heating pad Getting shower let the warm water just hit your stomach I don't know what it does But it's loosening up something inside in my opinion because I always feel better after But again tips one two and three I am almost a hundred percent sure that it's going to help you now Tip number one was eating clean right but preferably eating raw It's not easy That's why I said to plant it out and see exactly what you are gonna eat because it's easy to kind of like backslide Especially if you are not the healthiest eater anyway, if you are vegan now, you'll be fine Well, let me not say that you'll be okay because you're still gonna miss that hot food But you still will feel it'll be a lot easier for you to just completely go raw post to a person who's Not vegan at all because they have to cut out me then you have to now cut out hot food.
