Can you lose weight during menstruation?
When you come to menstruation, you are weak. Don't go on a diet to lose weight. The diet one week before the onset should be light, digestible and nutritious, increase green leafy vegetables and fruits, drink plenty of water, keep the stool unobstructed and reduce pelvic congestion. During menstruation, you should supplement some foods that are beneficial to "water travel", such as mutton, chicken, red dates, bean curd skin, apples, milk, brown sugar, motherwort, angelica, longan and so on. , used to keep warm. You can also eat more high-protein foods such as beans and fish to supplement the nutrients lost during menstruation. At the same time, avoid eating foods that are too hot, too cold and spicy, and avoid drinking stimulating drinks such as caffeine. What sports should be avoided during menstruation, such as long-distance running, kicking, skipping (skipping to lose weight), high jump, long jump and so on. Especially those that can increase abdominal pressure, such as sit-ups, weightlifting, dumbbells and so on. If the abdominal pressure suddenly rises, it will not only easily lead to the change of bleeding volume, but also induce or aggravate the general discomfort during menstruation, and even cause dysmenorrhea, menstrual disorder and gynecological infection. During menstruation, strenuous exercise may also lead to menstrual blood flowing back from uterine cavity to pelvic cavity, resulting in endometriosis, dysmenorrhea and even infertility over time. In addition, because the uterine mouth is slightly open during menstruation, bacteria can easily invade the uterine cavity, increase the chance of infection and cause various gynecological inflammations, so it is not suitable for swimming during menstruation. What exercise can you do during menstruation? During the menstrual period 1-3 days, do some gentle stretching exercises, such as meditation yoga, primary weight-loss exercises, or just some simple stretching exercises. These light exercises can help the body circulate smoothly and relieve stress. In particular, it is necessary to avoid putting pressure on the abdominal cavity and raising the position of the legs too high. If you feel tired or find a sudden increase or decrease in blood loss, you need to stop exercising immediately. On the 4th-5th day of menstruation, the body begins to recover. At this time, aerobic exercise such as walking and jogging can be started. The whole menstrual period should appropriately reduce the amount of exercise and reduce the time and frequency of exercise. I used to exercise four times a week, and exercise during my period 1-2 times. Be sure to pay attention
