You Have Cycle Swings
Congratulations! You have a fairly healthy menstrual cycle!
However, you may find that your cycle changes from month to month, depending upon your diet, stress, travel, and self-care.
The signs and symptoms of our monthly period can tell us a lot about our overall health and lifestyle choices.
Our daily habits and choices with nutrition, sleep, hydration, and exercise all impact greatly how we experience our monthly menstruation.
It's not just the choices we make during our period, but every day of the month that affect how we feel during and around the time of menstruation.
Through making healthy choices to prioritize nourishing your body well, getting a good amount of sleep, drinking lots of water, and getting regular exercise, you can help your body and hormones to have the most optimal experience of menstruation.
Keep focusing on the daily wellness habits of eating a wide variety of nutritious foods, getting to sleep at a regular time, minimizing stress, and staying active to help improve your cycles even more.
Top Tips for Improving Your Cycles:
Eat a wide variety of fresh fruits and colorful vegetables
Eat healthy fats from avocados, coconut oil, wild sardines, salmon, and flax seeds
Eliminate caffeine, alcohol, trans fats, sugar, and processed foods from the diet
Exercise moderately 3 to 5 times a week (walking, swimming and dancing are great choices!)
Get 7 to 9 hours of sleep each night & go to bed at a regular time
Prioritize activities that help decrease stress, such as a hobby, arts and crafts, journaling, taking warm baths, coloring, or reading a novel
