✨ What is the Menstrual Cycle? The menstrual cycle is more than just your period! It's a monthly process that prepares your body for pregnancy. Understanding each phase can help you manage symptoms and take charge of your health. 🌸 Phases of the Menstrual Cycle: Menstrual Phase (Day 1-5): This is when your period occurs. It's normal to feel tired or experience cramps. Rest and self-care are essential during this time. Follicular Phase (Day 1-13): Your body starts preparing for ovulation. You might feel more energized and positive—perfect for starting new projects or exercising! Ovulation (Day 14): The egg is released, and this is your most fertile period. Some women experience mild discomfort or a slight increase in body temperature. Luteal Phase (Day 15-28): Hormones like progesterone increase, which can lead to PMS symptoms like bloating or mood swings. Maintaining a balanced diet and regular exercise can help ease these symptoms. 💪 Healthy Practices: Nutrition: Eat foods rich in iron and vitamins to replenish your energy. Leafy greens, nuts, and fruits are great options! Exercise: Light to moderate exercise can help reduce cramps and boost your mood. Hydration: Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and reduce bloating. 🛑 Busting Myths: "Periods are dirty": Menstruation is a natural and healthy process. There’s nothing unclean about it! "You can’t exercise during your period": Light exercise can actually help alleviate cramps and improve your mood. 💬 Let’s Talk About It!
