Benefits
Pumpkin is excellent for your luteal phase as it is packed full of antioxidants and vitamins. It has essential vitamins like C, A, iron, and folate. Antioxidants help detox the liver and remove any excess estrogen from the body that can lead to cramps.
Dates are also an excellent source of fiber, B vitamins, and antioxidants. B vitamins are essential during your luteal phase to help promote red blood cells and keep iron levels high going into menstruation.
