What should I eat during my period?

Egg: Very rich in proteins, it allows you to better manage your day. Very generous in vitamins and trace elements, provides choline (a substance that helps to eliminate fats present in the liver. You can consume 03 per week, however people with high cholesterol levels should refrain from consuming it.
Banana: It is a real booster for the production of good mood neurotransmitters. Banana is also known to considerably reduce muscle contractions thanks to its high potassium content.

Heavy or painful periods: Is this normal?Menstruation is a blood flow that the woman's body rejects each month because the egg has not been fertilised. Here, the thickened inner layer of the uterus filled with blood vessels, which is basically supposed to wait for some kind of ovulation, breaks down through bleeding. It takes place every month, and once ovulation has passed, this bleeding, which normally lasts between 2 and 8 days, must pass. During menstruation, a woman bleeds 40 to 80 ml of blood, which corresponds to 8 to 10 teaspoons. It should be noted that this period is experienced differently by each woman because some have painful, heavy periods and others have premenstrual syndromes. The average age at which a woman's period stops is around 50 years old, but it is possible to have cases where women aged 40 to 45 are affected due to genetics and other external factors that may arise. If the periods are very heavy and last for more than a week, it is urgent to make an appointment with a specialist. When this situation of abundance in menstruation occurs it is called menorrhagia. Painful periods do not always indicate a problem, but the heavy flow of bleeding. To alleviate this problem of pain, our vetiver tea is what you need for a healthy and serene period. If you have heavy periods our menstrual panties from Mon Jardin Secret will prevent you from leaking. In addition to being comfortable and aesthetic, it is also very hygienic.
-
Can you get pregnant during your period?
Although amazing and borderline surprising, it is possible to get pregnant during your period. The probability of being pregnant is very low indeed. It is possible in people who have a very short cycle of 21 days, and in these cases ovulation comes a little earlier. In view of the time taken by the spermatozoon in the vagina, which ranges from two to five days, it is therefore obvious that fertilisation will occur if there was no protection during sexual intercourse.
-
Period blood: dark or ordinary?Lymph, water, red blood cells, and endometrial cells (lining of the uterus) are the components of menstrual blood. The blood can sometimes be brown (ordinary) or dark, depending on how long it takes to leave the uterus. At the end of the cycle the blood tends to be brown because it takes longer to leave the uterus and when the blood stays in the body too long it takes on darker colours.
-
How many times in a lifetime does a woman get her period?
If we go on the basis of simple calculation, we will talk about more than 2000 days spent to have her period, that is to say on average 450 menstrual cycles from puberty to menopause.
With regard to the number which is not negligible, it would be prudent to make the good choice of her period panties which combines at the same time comfort, serenity, economy and effectiveness.
