Remember, do you always go to a certain time every month, and your mood will get worse in vain and your food intake will increase dramatically? This is the estrogen in your body. The secretion of estrogen not only affects women's mood all the time, but also has a considerable impact on the effect of exercise and fitness.
Quite simply, when you are healthy, the plan to lose weight is more likely to succeed, and vice versa. Therefore, slimming experts suggest that adjusting the fitness plan according to the estrogen secretion in four different stages of the physiological cycle can not only effectively accelerate the weight loss process, but also train the normal secretion of hormones in the body.

You may have physical pain and often feel bad. Coupled with the reduction of hormone secretion, the skin will become extremely dry and the pores will become coarse. This change usually disappears naturally on the fourth or fifth day after menstruation begins.

Physiological manifestations: Generally, women ovulate on the first 14 day of menstruation. After reaching the peak, estrogen secretion began to decrease, while progesterone secretion began to increase.
