Can I run to lose weight during my period?

Women who love beauty all want to have a slim figure with good curves. Therefore, people often choose various weight loss methods, and menstruation is a good time to lose weight. However, you need to choose the right method to lose weight. Running is a form of exercise-based weight loss method, which usually has slow effects and requires long-term persistence. Moreover, running will be affected by the weather, so this method is not very effective in losing weight. But can I run to lose weight during my period?

(1) If you are menstruating, it is best not to run, because during menstruation, there are many ruptures in the endometrium. After exercise, blood circulation speeds up, which will increase the amount of menstruation. Therefore, it is definitely not suitable to exercise during menstruation.

(2) Girls should avoid high-intensity and high-volume exercise during their menstrual period. Exercises that should be avoided during menstruation: long-distance fast running, jumping, boxing exercises, skipping rope, swimming, sit-ups, and sprinting. Also, avoid wearing tight clothes when running. Strenuous exercise during menstruation will inhibit the function of the hypothalamus and cause endocrine system dysfunction, thereby interfering with the formation and cycle of normal menstruation. If you are a healthy woman who has the habit of running, then running with an appropriate amount of exercise during menstruation will not have any side effects. On the contrary, it will help balance the nervous system, promote blood circulation, help the abdominal and pelvic muscles contract and relax, facilitate smoother menstrual blood discharge, and can also play a certain role in relieving dysmenorrhea.

(3) Menstrual period is a natural process of hormone secretion. Many women experience premenstrual symptoms such as dizziness, headache, abdominal pain, and irritability due to the influence of progesterone and estrogen secretion during menstruation. However, not every girl will experience similar symptoms. Therefore, there is no definite answer. It still depends on the individual's physical condition. If your body can bear it, there is no problem in running, but the estrogen and progesterone levels during this period are very low, so fast or long-distance running is not suitable; if your body is really unwell and even standing is difficult, of course you can't force it, and the right thing to do is to have a good rest. Ultra-slow jogging is beneficial to blood circulation. Before menstruation, many girls will experience edema, chest swelling, etc. At this time, they can do light activities such as ultra-slow jogging to make the body warm, which is beneficial to blood circulation. During menstruation, unless you are very uncomfortable and need to rest in bed, you can use the method of ultra-slow jogging to help discharge menstrual blood, but it is best to avoid the day of peak bleeding and avoid strenuous exercise. On the seventh day after the good friend, the body gradually recovers, the metabolism is the strongest, and the mental state is the best. At this time, you can run as much as you want and the weight loss effect is very good.
