Is it ok to drink coke/ chai and similar stuff in period?
Re: ???/??
It's recommended to avoid caffeine during periods.
Re: ???/??
Why though?
Re: ???/??
^^ Thats right
If you are experiencing strong effects of PMS like mood swings, tender breasts etc, caffeine will definetly aggravate the situation. If you are generally OK with PMS, then I guess you may not notice much effects of consuming caffeine....but it still does negatively effect your body especially at the time you are menstruating
- Edit* thats right was to sahar
Re: ???/??
oh :o thanks for the info..
Re: ???/??
Welcome :)
But even in general its best to eliminate or completlely limit caffeine consumption especially for women. It causes loss of bone density, the effects of which can be felt much later.

Hello tea addict…I am (was) the same…till I got a bout of gastric flu last month. I was off tea (and food in general) for 3-4 days. I took advantage of that fact and when I became normal, I just have one cup of tea in the morning. I love having honey and lemon with hot water. It gives me a little kick. But yeah that tea in the morning is what gets me going. I am doing well so far!
You might find something good here

hm this is interesting...what if kaffine has no effect on u anyways? like, soda has no effect on me, it doesnt perk me up or make me more alert/crash or anything....is it cz im too used to it now? but it hink ill deff try cutting down during periods only to see if there's much change....
No no i am not a tea addict but like you, i have to drink at least one cup a day - at times two..but that one cup is a mug actually… If i dont drink tea its all good but its just that i feel kay something is missing for my taste buds.
coke i used to drink a lot i guess thats why i was less active before and slept a lot and now i have normal timings…
but i think regardless of anything else i feel irritated and angry when my period is about to start otherwise its all good…
I want all the fat flush ones hehe..

One of my friends was like we shouldn't take bath either :s what stupid stuff people have in their minds...like don't people wash their private areas in those days...its the same thing you're just cleaning the whole body instead...
Re: ???/??
^^I've seen people who do that too...Even when it's scorching outside and they are sweating and stinking but won't take bath. I'm like WTH really? Because during that time, one is supposed to be extra cautious about cleanliness and hygiene. It's just a very old and silly myth that it makes you bleed profusely or your bleeding will stop forever if you take bath during the time. GroSS!

put very to the gross part.
