Should you eat spinach in your ovulatory phase?

Spinach is still a nutritious choice in your ovulatory phase. It shines most in the menstrual phase (because its iron helps replace what you lose during your period and supports energy), but estrogen and testosterone peak around ovulation. Confidence, libido, and verbal energy are highest, and skin often looks its best.

Verdict

Pair it with vitamin C, like lemon or peppers, to absorb the iron better.
