Menstruation is a physiological phenomenon in which the endometrium of mature women cyclically sheds itself. The shedding of the endometrium will naturally cause trauma and bleeding, so the female body is in a relatively fragile state. During this period, there are certain taboos in diet and daily life, such as not eating raw or cold fruits, not drinking strong tea, not taking sitting baths, not wearing tight clothes, and not excessively beating the back. Naturally, it is not advisable to engage in strenuous exercise.

During the menstrual period, due to blood loss and water accumulation in the body, women will look plump and seem to have gained a lot of weight, and no matter how much they diet, it will be of no use. In this case, there is no need to lose weight, things will get better naturally after your menstrual period is over.

Experts have found that a woman’s appetite will increase by “20%-25%” when her menstrual period is approaching. Many women have this feeling: during the days when their period is about to come, they always want to eat sweets, have a strong appetite, and feel irritable and restless. These are related to the secretion of hormones in the body. Eating sweets can soothe irritable emotions to a certain extent. Don't feel guilty about eating more during this period. Just choose some foods that don't include fried foods, puffed foods, or midnight snacks.

During menstruation, you should supplement some foods that are beneficial to the "flow of menstruation", such as mutton, chicken, red dates, tofu skin, apples, milk, brown sugar, motherwort, angelica, longan, etc. to warm the body. You can also eat more high-protein foods such as beans and fish to replenish the nutrients lost during menstruation. At the same time, avoid eating foods that are too hot, too cold, or spicy, and avoid drinking stimulating beverages such as caffeinated beverages.

During menstruation, the body is relatively weak and it is not advisable to diet to lose weight.

The diet one week before the menstrual period should be light, easily digestible, and nutritious. Increase the intake of green leafy vegetables and fruits. Also, drink plenty of water to keep bowel movements smooth and reduce pelvic congestion.

What exercises can you do during your period?

During the entire menstrual period, the amount of exercise should be appropriately reduced, and the exercise time and frequency should be reduced. Originally, you should exercise four times a week, but 1-2 times during menstruation is enough.

During the 1-3 days of your period, do some gentle stretching exercises, such as meditative yoga, elementary body gymnastics, or just some simple stretching movements. These light exercises can help blood flow smoothly in the body and relieve stress. It is particularly important to avoid putting pressure on the abdominal cavity and raising the legs too high. If you feel tired or notice a sudden increase or decrease in bleeding, stop exercising immediately. On the 4th to 5th day of the menstrual period, the body begins to recover and you can start doing aerobic exercises such as slow walking and jogging.

After understanding the best way to lose weight during menstruation, women can follow the above method when losing weight during menstruation. However, if women feel very uncomfortable during menstruation, they should not continue to lose weight. This can easily cause damage to their health. Women should also pay attention to this.
