Some women's period are regular, like clockwork, but this is not always the case with. Some experience physical and emotional symptoms before and during the menstruation, from the unbelievable cravings for food you don't even know existed, the unsatiable libido, the unreasonable mood swings, all of this are major disruptions to a women's life.
In line with that thought, taking note of period shifts and changes in the length, frequency and amount of flow would help in major ways.
Remember these 10 things to avoid for a smooth-flowing red day:
1. Cook
The kitchen is quite a dangerous place for a bleeding woman who's prone to tendencies of emotional attacks. With a knife in hand and the bothersome anxieties and frustrations brought by the hormonal imbalance, who knows who could get hurt?
2. Mobile Phones
Admit it or not, being on that time of the month makes you emotionally unstable. One minute you just want to play candy crush, the next you're either too depressed as you pour your heart out to exes. The possibilities are endless, try to play on the safe side and move away from those mobile phones.
3. Exercise
Again, red days make you unstable, chances of feeling disgustingly bloated are very high. However you do not need to succumb to this insecurities brought about by the hormones. Exercising is good as they release endorphin's which will help make you feel good.
The thing about watching these films while on period is that it may trigger emotions that is not healthy for you. The thought of realizing that your life is not fairytale-like or even just as exciting is depressing, you don't need that.
5. Indulging in Chocolates
Cliches tell you it works, it does however this is usually blown out of proportion. Eating chocolates, maybe a few candy bars will help but going crazy will just make you feel worse after the sugar crash.
6. Start Arguments
Starting arguments while on period could be messy. Be very well aware that the hormones make you unreasonable and often times make you say things you don't mean, you're going to regret it at the end, try not to start things you know you'll end up regretting.
7. Get Out of Bed
The menstrual cramps, the horrible feeling, the sudden emotional outbursts, would want to deal with that. Try to sleep it away and let it all pass, other women will understand. You could be productive some other days. Re-emerge the day after and slay like the queen bee you truly are.
8. Shower
Standing up straight on the cold shower especially on the first day is pure agony, sitting in a warm bath might be a better option.
9. Do Housework
Everyone understands the struggle you're facing, set aside the urge to be productive. No one expects you to be a hundred percent on these days. Crawl back to bed, try watching a few movies or read a book.
10. Running
Running while on menstrual period may be the worst idea yet. Just don't do it. Just don't.
