Stimulants are not the last to disrupt our sleep but they also have an impact on... our menstrual well-being 💥 Everything is linked.

Yes, caffeine and hormones don't really go well together.

☕️ Caffeine accentuates premenstrual syndrome. During your period, hormones are low and the body needs to slow down. There is no need to add pro-inflammatory foods like refined sugar, caffeine or even alcohol.

🔥 Caffeine stimulates the production of cortisol, leading to an almost constant state of stress (with consequences on the skin...).

🍦 Caffeine causes cravings. Between excitement and exhaustion, the body reacts in the form of sugar cravings, the enemy of our hormones (hello vicious circle).

😣 In case of inflammation, coffee can intensify certain digestive disorders.

👎 Caffeine makes period pain worse by disrupting the body's balance (cramps, irritability and difficulty falling asleep)

So if you are not ready to give up coffee completely, it can be beneficial for your body to take breaks from time to time with chicory (which will give you extra fiber 🌿) and to observe the effects ! ✨
