Indulgence during menstruation allows women to enjoy happiness

Want to have a sweet meal but worried about gaining weight? This wish can be realized during menstruation! Menstruation is a "weight loss benefit period" and also a "hormone adjustment period". During this special period, you must not miss these 7 good things!

Indulgence during special times

The first thing you can enjoy: Indulge in sweets

Ice cream, donuts, fruit candy... During your menstrual period, these "weight loss killers" can be given the green light! On the first day of menstruation, the body's sugar metabolism rate is 16% higher than usual. On the second and third days, the sugar metabolism rate can be increased by another 10% on the original basis! More importantly, after dinner, your metabolism rate will slow down, but during menstruation, the fat burning rate at night is no slower than that during the day!

If you have always wanted to eat popcorn while watching a late-night movie, then the best time to do so is during your menstrual period! Of course, starting from the fourth day of your menstrual period, your body’s sugar metabolism rate will gradually return to normal, so you must be careful with your diet at that time!

The second thing you can enjoy: Make a hydrating mask

During menstruation, hormone levels in your body rise rapidly, your skin becomes delicate and smooth, and your pores shrink or even disappear. If you can replenish your skin with sufficient moisture during the period of hormonal rise, the water molecules will stay in the dermis for a much longer time than usual. After your period is over, you will still look as fresh and beautiful as ever!

In addition, studies have found that during menstruation, women's skin has a stronger ability to absorb fruit acid. If you can eat more fruits at this time, or use apples, lemons and other fruits with sunscreen function to make homemade masks, you don't have to worry about getting tanned in the summer!

The third thing you can enjoy: Drink carbonated drinks

Due to the effect of bubbles, drinking carbonated drinks can increase your inner happiness index by 18%! But the disadvantages of carbonated drinks are obvious. A large amount of sugar will make your body fat, and the special ingredients in them will also take away calcium from the bones... But the good news is that during menstruation, your bones will produce a self-defense reaction to prevent the blood flowing out of the body from "stealing" the iron in the bones.

This self-defense reaction will also protect the loss of calcium. If you drink some carbonated beverages at this time, you don’t have to worry about calcium deficiency! And the sugar metabolism process during menstruation will not make you gain weight by drinking carbonated beverages. It should be noted that you should never drink iced drinks because the excessively cold temperature will cause your body to catch a cold and cause dysmenorrhea. Carbonated drinks at room temperature are the best choice!

The fourth thing you can enjoy: read a good book

Medical research by WHO (World Health Organization) found that during the menstrual period, your memory improves significantly and your critical thinking ability is stronger than usual! More importantly, although you are sensitive and impulsive during the menstrual period, you are also more likely to resonate with words. I suggest you take advantage of this rare opportunity to read a good book. You will find that your reading efficiency will be much higher than usual!

The fifth thing you can enjoy: a nice massage

Traditionally, it is believed that you cannot enjoy a massage during your menstrual period because the force of the masseur's fingertips will put pressure on your body and affect blood flow. Medical experts from New York University in the United States pointed out that this is one of the academic misunderstandings in women's health. Gentle soothing massage will not affect your blood flow, but can also relax muscles and reduce menstrual pain.

As long as you don't let the masseuse apply excessive pressure on your lower back or around your uterus, you won't have to worry about any health problems. Since fat burning is faster during menstruation, moderate massage can also have a slimming effect. The better news is that due to hormonal reasons, you will feel your breasts "swell" a little during menstruation. If you let a masseur massage your breasts with essential oils, it can also reshape your breasts and upgrade your bra!

The sixth thing you can enjoy: Get 9 hours of sleep every day

American medical experts point out that for busy white-collar women, the best sleep time is 9 hours and 15 minutes! Since it is difficult to sleep that long during normal times, you might as well enjoy it during menstruation! During menstruation, due to the rise in hormone levels, your skin reaches its best condition. If you get enough sleep, then smooth skin, curved curves, and strong femininity can be maintained for a whole month!

Or drink a cup of warm sweet soy milk, which will not only not add extra calories, but also fully relax your stomach and brain, allowing you to sleep contentedly until dawn!

The seventh thing you can enjoy: do a foot spa

The feet are the only "channel" connecting the human body to the earth. During the menstrual period, the cells and tissues in the body are in an open state. Doing a foot SPA at this time can help you excrete toxins from the body faster.

Medical research at New York University in the United States found that doing a foot spa on the first day of menstruation can increase the detoxification rate by 9%-15% and effectively reduce menstrual pain!
