Did you know that the days during your menstrual period are actually a time for you to become more beautiful? During this time, it is easier to achieve things like breast enhancement, fat burning, improved memory, and detoxification, which are usually difficult to accomplish.
5 easy effects to achieve during your menstrual period
1. Detoxification
From the first day of your period, your body secretes enzymes that are smaller than cell units to detoxify your body and change the acidity of your blood to a weak alkaline state. These enzymes can break down toxins in your body and help with effective detoxification.
Medical experts also say that during your period, your body's sensitivity is 15% higher than usual. By gently stimulating certain acupuncture points, you can stimulate your body's metabolism and promote the elimination of toxins. However, it is important to note that you should gently press the acupuncture points instead of massaging them forcefully.
2. Fat burning
Hormonal fluctuations in your body have a significant impact on fat burning. The last two days of your period and the first week after your period are known as the "fat burning period" because your body's ability to break down fat is 20% higher than usual during this time. It is recommended that you burn body fat through appropriate exercise during this period, especially the fat accumulated in your abdomen. Burning fat is more important for your health than losing weight.
However, be careful not to try various weight loss pills to maintain your body shape. Your immune system is weaker during your period, and the hormonal balance can easily be disrupted by the chemicals in weight loss pills, which can be detrimental to your body shape and even cause menstrual disorders.
3. Breast enhancement
The first three days of your period are the best time for breast enhancement because during these three days, the hormones responsible for breast fullness are secreted in equal amounts for 24 hours. This can stimulate the accumulation of breast fat. If you eat more carrots, potatoes, soybeans, and nuts during these three days, the effect of breast enhancement will be more than 30% better than usual.
Papaya is widely recognized as the best food for breast enhancement, but medical experts also emphasize that the body can only absorb the breast-enhancing enzymes and papain under the help of lactobacillus. So, if you want to have fuller breasts, you can try making a cup of papaya yogurt at home.
In addition, calcium in food is also important. It is recommended to choose low-dose calcium tablets and take them multiple times for better absorption compared to taking a high-dose calcium tablet all at once.
4. Improved memory
During the synthesis of estrogen, women need a special aromatic enzyme that stimulates the cells in the cerebral cortex responsible for memory through neural conduction. The peak secretion period of the aromatic enzyme is the last 1-2 days of your period. If you want to improve your memory, you can try memorizing English words or Tang and Song dynasty poems during the end of your period for mental exercise.
You can also chew gum while doing the exercises because chewing stimulates the hippocampus, the memory center of the brain. More importantly, chewing gum can promote saliva secretion, and the salivary enzyme works with the aromatic enzyme, making the activity of the cells in the cerebral cortex 14% higher than usual. This can improve your memory in the short term.
5. Discovering minor health issues
American medical experts call the menstrual period the "physiological mirror". Your immune system is weakest during this time, and minor health issues that are usually hidden can easily arise. But this is not necessarily a bad thing! Because you can discover those health warnings that are not easily apparent in your daily life, and the sooner you find them, the sooner you can improve them.
Issue 1: Eye bags and dark circles
Why do you still have eye bags and dark circles even though you sleep for 8 hours? According to Japanese health experts, this means that your blood circulation is not smooth and your blood is too viscous, which may be related to excessive consumption of meat. It is recommended to balance your diet, reduce meat intake, and increase the consumption of dairy products and soy products in your diet.
Issue 2: Bleeding gums
Why do your gums bleed easily during your period? This is related to unhealthy gums and is a precursor to gum inflammation. It is recommended to visit a dental clinic for teeth cleaning after your period, thoroughly remove tartar that causes inflammation, brush your teeth carefully, and rinse with a saltwater solution. In addition, a large amount of calcium and iron ions are lost with menstrual blood, which is also a cause of bleeding gums during your period. It is recommended to supplement calcium daily and take in sufficient vitamin D.
Issue 3: Hair breakage
If your hair becomes particularly weak and prone to breakage during your period, you may be on the verge of anemia! During your period, your hair lacks the supply of amino acids and the content of keratin protein decreases, resulting in "temporary physiological anemia", which leads to hair breakage. Eating more foods rich in minerals and iron, such as spinach, can improve the hidden anemia in your body.
