4 key points for women's special period care

20%-30% of gynecological patients suffer from hormonal imbalance. Women's endocrine system is "influenced" throughout their entire lives, so adjusting their normal secretions is almost a lifelong "job".

Exercise can promote better secretion of female hormones

"Compared with women who sit still for a long time, women who exercise regularly tend to have higher levels of hormone secretion in their bodies. Specifically, their menstruation is more regular, their skin color and hair are more lustrous, and their overall needs for food and sexual desire may be higher." Chen Zhiliao introduced that if female hormones can be secreted well, it will be of great benefit to improving women's quality of life, and one of the "contributors" is exercise. It is reported that a scientific research result in the United States has confirmed that exercise can indeed regulate and improve the secretion level of estrogen.

4 key points for women's special period care Menstrual period (from the beginning to the end of menstruation) Female body characteristics

This stage is when the estrogen level in women's bodies is low, and the external manifestations are low mood, poor spirits, and weak physical fitness.

Exercise guidance: It is better to be still than to move, and to be slow than to be fast. Women's bad mood during this period has a physiological "material basis", and they can relax through small-scale exercise. If you still need to exercise during this stage, it is best to choose gentle, slow, low-intensity activities such as yoga, walking, and Tai Chi, and avoid highly confrontational sports and time-consuming, high-intensity training.

Four key points for women's special period care Follicular phase (from the end of menstruation to about ten days later) Female body characteristics

This stage is called the "follicular phase". The estrogen level in women will slowly rise and recover, so the absorption and digestion of nutrients in the body are at a high level, so it is more suitable for higher-intensity exercise training.

Exercise guidance: Experts say that if women have hobbies such as playing tennis, cycling, long-distance running, swimming, or need to achieve goals such as weight loss, they can choose to focus on intensive training during this time period. This stage is the "golden period" for consuming human calories every month, and it is also the stage with the best fitness results.

4 key points for women's special period care Ovulation period (14 days before menstruation to the day of menstruation) Female body characteristics

During this stage, the estrogen level in women gradually rises to its peak, and then gradually falls back in the late ovulation period, just before the onset of menstruation. Therefore, you can continue to perform high-intensity exercise in the early stage of ovulation, and gradually reduce the intensity and shorten the exercise time in the later stage.

Exercise guidance: Experts believe that high-intensity fitness programs can still be implemented in the early stage of this stage, and you can switch to gentle exercise types in the days approaching the menstrual period, such as morning exercises, jogging, etc. If you still insist on strong physical training after ovulation, women may experience weight gain and edema.
