YOUR BOD | PERIODS, PERIOD | Q&A

Knock out those period blues before they get to you


 
We all know the feeling, chicas.  That nagging pile of unfortunate alerts that let you know your monthly visit is on it's way.  Lucky for you, we've got the inside deets on how to beat those pesky symptoms before they even hit ya!

Beat the bloat
Stray away from your salty favorites for a little while.  Why?  Your bod is going to puff just a bit either way, so don't make it worse by packing in some extra batches of sodium.

More moo juice, please
They say calcium can toss a serious hit to those cramps, and babes, dairy is your best bet to do so. Aim for a couple hundred milligrams of calcium twice a day to cut down cramps by almost half!

Say Ohm
It's pretty self-explanatory when you think about it.  Your flow comes along with some pretty messy bouts of mood swings.  What better way to calm your triggers than indulging in some yoga time.

Tub time
Chances are it's probably been a long while since you've taken a nice long bubble bath.  Take this opportunity to slip on in.  The warm water will help keep everything moving along inside to ease your pain.
 
For crazy cramps, check out these tried 'n' true tips. What's your cure for the period blues? Blog it out, babes.

i usually rest when i'm cramping up or feel really sore down there. but, if it's my mood that needs improvment, i like to excerise a bit outside with my sister Smile

I wish periods didn't exist. But on the other hand, we have something that we can roll our eyes about when the boys are immature about periods! Go periods and maturity!
p.s. check out my profile~!
