Do I need to eat healthy food

Yes, eating healthy food is super important, especially when you're growing up and having periods, because it gives your body the energy and nutrients it needs to do everything, even during your period.

Think of food as fuel for your growing body. When you're going through puberty, your body is working overtime, and literally building new parts and changing every day, so it needs good stuff to run on. And when you have your period, you're losing iron because of the bleeding, and healthy foods help you get that back.

Eating healthy can also make a difference in how you feel during your period. Things like getting enough iron helps with energy, and some leafy greens and fruits can even help with cramps, so it's a win-win.
