Today, I’m going to show you how to relieve period cramps fast, and for good. There are two types of period cramps: the primary type is labeled idiopathic, and secondary cramps that are caused by fibroids, ovarian cysts, or endometriosis.
Many women take NSAIDs, birth control pills, and Depo shots for period pain relief. The medical community generally discourages the use of natural remedies for menstrual cramps, but does not discourage the use of medication. Research has shown the effectiveness of vitamin B1 and vitamin E.
Upon searching for the root cause, I stumbled upon the following clues:
• Painful cramps are caused by pain chemicals called prostaglandins.
• Vasopressin, which causes contractions and decreased blood flow, is elevated when you have menstrual cramps.
• Painful period cramps are associated with high parathyroid hormone levels.
• Women with painful menstrual cramps also have much higher inflammation in the uterus, often related to NF-KB.
• Black women have a 33% higher likelihood of getting severe period cramps than white women.
• Menstrual cramps are sometimes treated with calcium channel blockers.
This led to the conclusion that the root cause of menstrual cramps is a severe vitamin D3 deficiency! Try the following natural remedies for period pain and say goodbye to menstrual cramps for good:
1. Take 20,000 IU of vitamin D3 daily
2. Take 400-600 mg of magnesium glycinate
3. Follow a low-carb diet
4. Intermittent fasting
5. Cod liver oil for pain relief
6. Vitamin E
7. Vitamin B1
8. Increase iron with red meat
9. Zinc for vitamin D3 absorption
10. Exercise
11. Fenugreek
12. Heating pad
13. Ginger

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
