Should you eat ginger in your luteal phase?
Ginger is still a nutritious choice in your luteal phase. It shines most in the menstrual phase (because it is naturally anti-inflammatory and can ease period cramps and nausea), but progesterone rises then falls. Energy tapers, cravings and bloating can appear, and slower strength work plus magnesium-rich food help.
Verdict
Ginger tea is a simple, warming way to soothe cramp days.
