The menstrual cycle has changed throughout the history of mankind, just like how humans have been changing. The results from various scientific researches have revealed 9 Things you should never do on your most sensitive day of the month:
1. Avoid shaving
According to Health.com estrogen levels drop dramatically during your period. Having such a low estrogen count makes all of your physical pain hurt much more due to your body becoming so sensitive.
2. Avoid sad or romantic movies
Surely it is no surprise to learn that your emotions are so different while on your period. At times you may not even recognize your emotional self. The hormone levels are so out of balance that as your body tries to adapt, your mind does not know how to react. Romantic movies are a recipe for disaster. Avoid watching these types of films, as they can heighten your sensitivity. Instead use this time to catch up on the newest humor films.
3. Avoid using less protection at night time (assuming you’ll have a lighter flow)
It’s easy to assume, wrongly, that your night flow is low. When lying down, the lack of gravity creates this delusion, but if you’re not careful you can end up in an accident (and it will not be pleasant).Take extra precaution when you head to bed for the night, just in case.
4. DO be physically active
According to Women’s Health, you should increase your physical activity during these days. The physical activity helps with cramps, anxiety and your roller coaster emotions.
5. Avoid consuming dairy products
Although calcium is good during your menstrual period, dairy is not. Products such as milk, yogurt and cheese contain an acid called arachidonic acid; this acid can cause more cramping in the lower abdomen.
