Eating junk food and having celiac disease may lead to heavier periods. Flax seeds may affect menstrual cycles too.
Some foods and conditions can affect menstrual bleeding. Junk food, like fast food and sugary snacks, may lead to heavier periods. This could be due to poor nutrition and high-fat content, which can impact hormones and menstrual cycles.
Celiac disease, a condition where the body can't handle gluten, can also cause heavy periods. When people with celiac disease eat gluten, it can lead to problems like heavy bleeding during periods.
On the other hand, flax seeds may change the menstrual cycle. They have substances that can affect hormones, which could change how long or heavy a period is.
If you're worried about heavy periods, consider looking at your diet and talking to a healthcare provider. They can help figure out if food or a condition like celiac disease is involved.
