7. Don’t Be Sedentary
Even though all you feel like doing is curling up into a ball and staying in bed in your jammies all day long, do not do it. Staying sedentary will direct your focus to your period pain, which can make them feel a lot worse. In fact, resting is not the way to fix the problem – exercising is! Exercising can not only relieve menstrual cramps but even make you feel better overall. Aerobics is the best exercise!
8. Don’t Plan Appointments On Your Periods
As mentioned before, due to the low levels of estrogen in your body during your periods, your sensitivity to pain increases significantly. So, it’s best you don’t schedule any sort of appointments that have the potential to cause pain (such as waxing, threading, dental appointments, etc) at this time. Save them for a later date.
