You know what absolutely sucks? Having our bodies just decide to punish us, because we choose not to be impregnated every month. 

Period cramps are the worse. They visit every 30 days and literally suck the life out of you. 

Constantly on the internet for the most effective ways to deal with it, a method which has proven effective, are the beverages we take in, during this specific time. 

That being said, we did some research and discovered the 5 drinks to consume when on your period, which we're certain you didn't know about. 

#1 Coffee Substitutes

Dehydration, sleep disruption, indigestion and affecting one's mood, caffeine probably isn't the best option to go with, when you're on your cycle. Instead, you should opt for caffeine substitutes like, Bambu, Cafix, or a balanced mineral drink. 

#2 Pineapple Juice

Pineapple juice has enzymes in it, that helps ease period cramps. Besides that, it also aids with blood flow and smoothens the process of menstruation. 

#3 Hot Chocolate 

A favourite even when we're not on our periods, hot chocolate is also another option to have! It reduces pain, boots your mood, decreases stress levels and even helps with skin complexion. 

#4 Watermelon and Cucumber Juice

Number 4 on our list is watermelon juice with cucumber. Women tend to get bloated when they are on their period, and like a miracle cure, this beverage option, gets your tummy back to shape in no time. 

#5 Fennel Tea

Last but not least, fennel tea. Also helping with bloating and pain, it reduces the discomfort women feel during their cycles and have been proven to be a great option to take in when menstruating.
