It is now the “san fu days” of summer and a hot season, also the golden period for weight loss. Many female friends start their weight loss journey in summer and are aware that the 7 days after menstruation are a good time for it. In fact, the menstruation period is also a good time for shedding excess weight as long as we avoid these 4 things. Achieving double the results with half the effort is possible during this time, but women during their period should be cautious as their bodies are more vulnerable to gynecological issues. Weight loss should be moderate and these 4 things should be avoided.
Many women opt for weight loss pills during their weight loss journey, but these pills can harm women’s bodies. Taking weight loss pills during menstruation can amplify this harm because the body’s metabolism is heightened during this time. The side effects of weight loss pills are increased during menstruation, posing severe risks to women’s health, potentially leading to organ failure. Therefore, it is best to avoid using weight loss pills during this time.
Exercise is a common choice for weight loss among women, but vigorous exercise is not suitable during menstruation. Moderate exercise is recommended as excessive exercise can damage the uterus, increase menstrual blood flow, and cause menstrual irregularities, affecting both the uterus and ovaries. For the sake of health, avoid intense exercise during menstruation.
There is a misconception among women that they won’t gain weight from eating sweets during menstruation. However, consuming sweets during menstruation can lead to weight gain. Although metabolism is slightly faster during this time, excessive sweet consumption can result in fat accumulation. Therefore, if you desire sweets during menstruation, consume them in moderation.
We know that certain teas, like pu’er tea and green tea, aid in digestion and fat reduction. Many women include tea in their daily routine, especially after meals. However, it is advisable to avoid tea during menstruation to prevent worsening of cold symptoms in women and the onset of menstrual cramps. If tea is preferred for weight loss, it is better to wait until after menstruation.
