In the 28-day physiological cycle, it can be divided into four stages:
1. During the follicular phase (day 1 ~ 12), follicles begin to grow in the ovary, and the ovary secretes hormones to help the endometrium grow.
2. During ovulation (13 ~ 14 days), when the follicle matures, the egg is discharged and sent from the ovary to the uterus through the fallopian tube.
3. Luteal phase (15 ~ 28 days), after ovulation, if the egg stays in the fallopian tube and the egg is not fertilized, the endometrium will stop growing.
4. During the menstrual period, if the endometrium cannot continue to grow, it will gradually fall off, and blood and damaged mucosa will be discharged from the uterus through the vagina. This is menstrual blood, and another cycle in the body is about to begin.
Is it easy to lose weight during the physiological period?
The so-called physiological period of weight loss is to divide weight loss into four stages by physiological cycle, that is, after menstruation 1 ~ 7 days is called weight loss welfare period, after menstruation 7 ~ 14 days is called weight loss overspeed period, after menstruation 14 ~ 2 1 day is called weight loss platform period, and after menstruation 2/kloc-0. In these four stages, according to the body's functional state and diet, in order to achieve the purpose of losing weight. Especially during the period of slimming and welfare, you can slow down your diet plan and supplement foods rich in iron and fiber, such as spinach, kelp, fish and grapes. And with moderate exercise. The "overspeed period" and "plateau period" after the physiological period are the most suitable time to lose weight; As for the "buffer period" before the arrival of the physiological period, you can increase the amount of exercise to prepare for the next physiological period. During the physiological period, the amount of menstruation discharged each time is about 80CC. However, during the menstrual period, many women often use physical weakness as an excuse to supplement their physical strength, comforting themselves that they are not afraid of getting fat after eating, which automatically becomes a "chocolate promotion period".
Is it fat or water?
Is it correct to use the physiological cycle to lose weight? Sun, a doctor in Chinese medicine hospital, said: "The first question is whether the physiological cycle is regular." If you want to say that the physiological cycle can lose weight, it should be water. Why? Luo Guofeng, dean of Yaotiao Clinic, explained that during ovulation 14, due to estrogen entering luteal phase, luteal phase was secreted, resulting in water retention, so edema appeared. So during the physiological period, some people gain about 1 ~ 3 kg.
In addition, doctors often warn women that breast self-examination must be carried out after the physiological period, on the grounds that after the physiological period, the examination will be more accurate until the water is removed. "So strictly speaking, losing weight during the physiological period is to lose water instead of fat!" Luo Guofeng said.
However, it is feasible to give a moderate diet. Sun pointed out that during the physiological period, you can eat Chuanxiong because of insufficient qi and blood. After menstruation, menstrual blood can be discharged smoothly, and you can eat some foods that promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, such as angelica, safflower, Cyperus tuber and motherwort. In estrus (7 ~ 13 days) called follicular development in western medicine, the retention of sodium and water will be promoted due to the effect of estrogen. In order to tonify qi and blood and promote diuresis, you can eat Radix Rehmanniae Preparata, Polygoni Multiflori Radix, Radix Aconiti Lateralis Preparata, minced meat, Fructus Ligustri Lucidi and Ecliptae Herba. "However, it is too much trouble for ordinary people to really implement the physiological period weight loss method." Sun said:
Experts say that losing weight means losing old fat. If you want to lose fat, eating less and exercising more is the best policy.
