As women, our bodies endure a lot. From cramps to bloating, fatigue, mood swings, and more, this can be a tough period to get through. Even worse is that it happens each month, making it feel as though there’s no end in sight.
To make you feel better you can try some of these self-care ideas:
Make Sure You’re Well Rested
Getting enough sleep during your period and your premenstrual period may leave you feeling more energized and help stabilize your hormones.
To create an environment that encourages you to stay well-rested, make sure your room is at a comfortable temperature before you want to fall asleep, and try to set a schedule where you’re waking up and going to sleep at the same time each day.
Stay Active
A little bit of exercise can go a long way to ease some of your PMS and period symptoms.
A yoga class might ease stress, bloating, and cramps, while a walk or run may encourage your body to release mood-boosting endorphins. Keep an eye on your energy levels and choose a workout that feels good, keeping in mind that just because you have your period doesn’t mean you need to shy away from high-intensity workouts at all times.
In fact, at the start of your period, you may have more energy and strength than usual, because of a drop in estrogen and progesterone levels.
Take a Bath
Heat, whether from a heating pad, warm bath, or hot shower, is one of the best ways to ease tension and reduce pain associated with cramps or muscle soreness.
Plus, it may help you feel more relaxed and comfortable in general.
Eating healthy
It’s pretty common to crave carbs and sugary foods as your period nears, but these can cause your energy levels to crash while also contributing to mood swings, bloating, and water retention.
Instead of reaching for cookies, bagels, and other empty carbohydrates, focus on protein and healthy fats to keep your blood sugar levels stable and decrease inflammation, fiber to encourage healthy digestion and reduce bloating, and plenty of water, which can help with digestion, hormone regulation, and hydration.
