Should you eat salmon in your ovulatory phase?

Salmon is still a nutritious choice in your ovulatory phase. It shines most in the luteal phase (because omega-3 fats are anti-inflammatory and can soften PMS symptoms), but estrogen and testosterone peak around ovulation. Confidence, libido, and verbal energy are highest, and skin often looks its best.

Verdict

Two servings a week supports mood and helps with period-related inflammation.
