Should you eat citrus fruit in your ovulatory phase?
Citrus fruit is still a nutritious choice in your ovulatory phase. It shines most in the menstrual phase (because vitamin C boosts iron absorption from your meals during your period), but estrogen and testosterone peak around ovulation. Confidence, libido, and verbal energy are highest, and skin often looks its best.
Verdict
Squeeze lemon over leafy greens to get more iron from each bite.
