Your menstrual cycle is a natural and integral part of reproductive health, yet it often brings with it a range of physical and emotional challenges. So, taking care of yourself during this time is pretty important. SOFY shares a few easy tips to stay healthy and happy during periods.
Stay Hydrated
Dehydration can worsen period symptoms like cramps and headaches. Drink at least 8 glasses of water daily during your period. Coconut water, fruit-infused water, smoothies, and herbal teas also help with hydration. Carry a water bottle to remind yourself to keep sipping through the day.
Get Adequate Rest
Fatigue before or during your period is common. Sleep at least for 7-8 hours per night. Take short naps during the day for an energy boost. Go to bed early during the premenstrual week to avoid aggravated symptoms from lack of sleep.
Eat Right Most Of The Time
Even though it’s totally cool to indulge your period cravings once in a while, having a nutritious and balanced diet reduces period discomfort. Choose foods rich in vitamins and minerals, like leafy greens, fruits, eggs, yogurt, salmon, nuts, and seeds. Avoid inflammatory foods like refined sugar, alcohol, caffeine, processed snacks, and red meat. Staying nourished keeps your energy up and symptoms at bay.
Engage In Light Exercise
Moderate exercises like walking, swimming, or yoga can help relieve cramps. Light movement boosts feel-good endorphins, too. However, don’t overexert yourself. Know your limits and take ample recovery time between workout days. Even simple stretches at home can provide relief.
Pamper Yourself
Self-love during periods is a must. Take relaxing warm baths with Epsom salt, give yourself a calming facial massage, or pamper your skin with moisturizer. Listen to mellow music, journal your thoughts and emotions, or meditate. Set aside me-time for your favorite hobby.
Change Your Pad Frequently
Changing your pad every 4 – 6 hours or more often if needed keeps the risk of infection at bay.
Lastly- Choose the Right Sanitary Pads
