Does your metabolism speed up during menstruation?

For premenopausal women, under normal circumstances, they have menstruation once a month. With the arrival of menstruation, the human body will undergo some changes, which are different from normal times. Among them, menstruation will affect the body's metabolic rate. So during menstruation, will the basal metabolic rate be faster or slower? Let's take a closer look.

First of all, you need to understand that the normal menstrual period lasts seven days. During these seven days, the luteinizing hormone and estrogen secreted by the human body will gradually decrease. People will not be in high spirits and will feel listless when doing anything. Water may also remain in the body, causing edema. Therefore, during the seven days of the menstrual period, a person's basal metabolism is not only not likely to speed up, but will gradually slow down. It should be noted that during the menstrual period, the body's metabolism becomes slower and people become more sensitive, so you must keep your body warm and eat more nutritious foods, which can help increase the metabolic rate during menstruation.

The period when the body's basal metabolic rate is fastest is from the seventh to the fourteenth day after the menstrual period. During this period, the human body's basal metabolic rate will gradually accelerate, and people will become more energetic and more charming. Therefore, during this time frame, for female friends who want to lose weight, it is also the best period to lose weight. During this period, the body's metabolic rate becomes faster and faster, and if you can do some exercises and control your diet, you can have a certain weight loss effect.

When women have their period, their bodies undergo some changes and their metabolic rate gradually decreases. After menstruation is over, the basal metabolic rate will slowly increase. So this is a very normal process, and female friends don’t have to worry too much. It should be noted that during menstruation, you should maintain a happy mood, do a good job of keeping the body warm, eat more high-protein foods and high-nutrition foods, and avoid eating raw, cold, and spicy foods.
