3. BioflavonoidsBioflavonoids besides is essential in improving the function of digestive system in absorbing vital nutrients, it also helps to reduce tension of the nervous system that causes over active of the body muscles including the uterine muscles, thereby, lessening the risk of menstrual pain.

4. Vitamin B5Vitamin B5 beside is vital for production of sex hormone including estrogen, progesterone and testosterone,it also helps to bind levels of bad estrogen that cause endometriosis and endometrial symptoms. Since broccoli helps to improve the levels of testosterone, it increases the sexual desire for some women with endometriosis.

5. Folic acidFolic acid in brocolli is essential for the formation of red and white cells. Deficiency of folic acid causes anemia and weakening immune system.

4. Vitamin CBeside helping to strengthen the small veins in the abdomen, it also increase the production of blood platelets that helps to reduce menstrual bleeding.

5. Circulation SystemGreen pepper is said to enhance the blood circulation by making the blood thinner and strengthening the arterial wall, thereby helping to increase blood flow to the abdominal region resulting in lessening the period pain caused by blood stagnation.

6. PotassiumPotassium in green pepper besides helping our body in transmission of electrochemical impulses, it also helps to regulation muscle function including the uterine muscle resulting in lessening the risk of over active muscle in the abdominal region.

G. Olive Oil
1. Circulation system
Olive oil contains high amount of fatty acids that helps to inhibit the levels of bad cholesterol in the blood stream resulting in increasing the blood circulation in the body including the abdomen that lessons the risk of over active uterine muscle and menstrual pain.
