Physical Exercises During Period

Staying active during your period can significantly help in managing symptoms and improving overall well-being. For Indian women, who may face cultural restrictions during menstruation, it’s important to understand that exercise is beneficial, not harmful. Gentle yoga poses like Balasana (Child’s Pose) or Marjaryasana-Bitilasana (Cat-Cow Pose) can help relieve cramps and back pain. A brisk walk or light jog can boost mood and energy levels. Swimming is also an excellent option for relieving cramps, though it requires using a tampon or menstrual cup.
When it comes to diet during menstruation, focus on iron-rich foods to replenish what’s lost during menstruation. This is particularly important for Indian women, as iron-deficiency anemia is common in our country. Include foods like spinach, lentils, and jaggery in your diet. Stay hydrated with water and herbal teas. Complex carbohydrates like whole grains provide sustained energy. It’s advisable to limit salt, caffeine, and alcohol intake to reduce bloating. Remember, listening to your body and giving it the rest it needs is just as important as staying active.
