It is recommended to increase the intake of foods rich in magnesium, vitamin B6 and omega-3 fatty acids, such as green leafy vegetables, nuts, fish, etc. Avoid consuming too much caffeine and alcohol as they may worsen menstrual cramps.

You can try some relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing, meditation, listening to music, etc., to relieve tension and anxiety.
