Your skin will thank you.
And if that wasn't enough, it's not uncommon for skin to feel more oily during this phase, too. As registered dietitian-nutritionist and fertility experttells mindbodygreen,"During this phase, it is true that sebum production can ramp up, thanks to an increase in progesterone. This change can lead to people appearing more 'oily.'"
And according to her, while there are certain healthy"oily" foods that can actually help during your luteal phase, you'll want to avoid the processed stuff."Deep fried foods, which tend to be oily, can be limited during this phase to support hormonal health," Manaker explains. Cabeca echoes this point, previously writing that blood-sugar balance is especially important during this phase."To keep your blood sugar balanced, you'll want to be careful taking in any additional glucose or carbohydrates until the last few days of your cycle—i.e., before your period starts," she says.
Manaker agrees, telling mindbodygreen that while they might be"oily," low-mercury fish provide important nutrients, like omega-3 fatty acids that may help with menstrual cramps, manage chronic inflammation, and help manage mood."Oily fish is also a source of vitamin B6, which is an important nutrient to consume during the luteal phase," she adds.
Avoiding high-carbohydrate foods and simple sugars, since your blood glucose will already be higher, is key here, according to Cabeca, as is keeping cortisol under control, too.
