Ginger tea is known to be especially helpful in relieving painful menstrual cramps. Ginger also reduces bloating and gives a feeling of warmth which in turn uplifts mood.

Ginger tea also helps regulate menstrual flow. It reduces the production of prostaglandins which further help relieve common symptoms associated with PMS such as mood swings, cramps, and headaches.

In a previous Instagram post, Sonam also shared some details about the PCOS diet she follows. She revealed that she had stopped eating sugar. “Sugar is something that makes you feel good and then you break down. I have completely given up on sugar… I can’t tell you how much my life has changed since I gave up on it (refined sugar), ”she said.

Her diet, curated by nutritionist Lily Kimble, also includes “fun smoothies” to incorporate essential foods. “Take low GI carbs (which don’t increase your insulin) like strawberries, melons, berries and any not-so-sweet fruit, not white foods. For me, what really works is that I eat a lot of dals, legumes, red rice which doesn’t improve my insulin too much and burns slowly, ”she said.

Additionally, regular walking also helped Sonam control her digestive health and body weight, she shared.
