Maintaining health and comfort throughout your menstrual cycle begins with proper hygiene and self-care practices. It’s important to change sanitary items frequently—about every 4 to 6 hours—to avoid infections.
Consume well-balanced meals that include plenty of iron, along with fresh fruits and vegetables, to restore depleted nutrients and increase your energy levels. Ensure you stay properly hydrated and reduce intake of caffeine or high-sodium foods as they may exacerbate bloating.
Gentle activities such as walking or practicing yoga may help alleviate cramps and boost your mood. Ensure you get adequate rest and reduce stress with various relaxation methods.
Should the discomfort be intense, consider using non-prescription analgesics or applying a heated pad for relief.
Above all, pay attention to your body—as each menstrual cycle varies, prioritizing your comfort is key.
