I've never heard that before.
I always eat the same way I usually do.

Family myths... every family has their own.
Eat and drink what you regularly would. Some women while on their periods crave certain foods, mostly chocolate or sweets.
Although these things may not be so great for your hips, they will not harm your cycle.
Some changes in diet can cause your cycle to change, but this is completely normal.
Example, if you are dieting for a few months and then go back to eating regularly, your period might come sooner or later. This is only because your body is going through changes, it isn't anything to worry about.
If you notice changes in your cycle at anytime, please speak to your doctor.

You do not need to change your eating habits at all when you're on your period. However, if you eat lots of junk food, sweets, and grease, I would suggest changing your eating habits anyway because you'd be healthier! Cold, hot, whatever...you can eat it anytime, whether on your period or not. You might notice that you crave certain things more than others when you're on your period, like chocolate for example, but you are free to eat whatever you want.

lol, sweetie you can eat anything you want depends on your body. but it's always good not to eat hot, dry, or sour food because it will make you have more on your period. and heck, drink what ever kind of water, because either way, it's good for you. just eat healthy, and stuffs tha doesn't make you feel to hot and weak. hope this helps.

Ive never heard of anything like that...I just eat the same stuff I always eat..and my periods are just fine and Im healthy.
If you have cramps though then its good to eat dairy products and not have caffeine.

You may eat anything you like and it won't affect your cycle.
I would recommend that you stay as much as possible away from sugary things and too much wheat because of the bloating and strain it puts on the digestive system
all best

Eat whatever you want. Being on your period is normal and not a disease. I grewup in a family that had a lot of silly superstition (i.e don't wash your hair, don't open a bottle of vinager you'll make it go bad).

What? I've never heard that. I eat whatever I desire. I think some foods can make cramping worse...but I've never heard of anything messing up cycles.

You can eat what you normally eat! I have never heard of any of that, it sounds very weird. But if you dont want to bloat try not eating as much salty foods.

This is a brand new on me, you can eat what ever you want, if in doubt call your doctor and ask them or a friends mom, we are older and wiser, so go eat some ice cream and enjoy it!!!
