The benefits of fasting during menstruation

The menstrual period is the stage when the female body is adjusting and circulating blood. At this time, the shedding of the endometrium will cause the cervix to open slightly, and the pelvic cavity is also in a stage of congestion. The defense ability of the reproductive system is very poor. During this period, you must be careful not to eat cold food, and try not to do high-intensity exercise. Fasting during menstruation is possible, but you must use the correct method.

Can women practice fasting during holidays?

Since women usually practice fasting for weight loss and detoxification, it is a headache for women who are fasting to have their period. This is because women who practice fasting have usually gone through puberty. If they are fasting during their menstrual period, they should maintain a good mood and go with the flow.

Although no food is consumed during the fasting period, there is still energy flowing, which will increase the circulation of qi and blood in the body, causing excessive menstrual bleeding in some female friends. At this time, you should be careful not to do strenuous exercise, and try to think as little as possible, do a good job of meditation and adjust the energy, so that no adverse reactions will occur during the fasting period. If the methods and measures are not correct and the energy flow cannot be well controlled, adverse reactions will occur. You should also pay attention to adjusting the temperature, get enough rest, especially maintain a good mood, avoid depression, and absorb good energy according to the methods taught by the Bigu teacher to keep your body balanced.

Another thing to note is that during menstruation, due to the shedding of the endometrium, the cervix opens slightly, and the pelvic cavity becomes congested, which causes the local defense function of the reproductive organs to decrease. If you do not pay attention to hygiene, bacteria can easily invade the reproductive organs. Therefore, women should refrain from sexual intercourse during the holidays, insist on washing the vulva with clean water every day, and take a bath as much as possible to keep the vulva clean at all times.

In addition, you should pay attention to rest during your menstrual period and get enough sleep to increase your physical strength. Avoid strenuous physical exercise and heavy physical labor. You can participate in some relaxing exercises, such as fasting exercises, walking, etc.

Therefore, as long as the above health principles are followed, women can practice fasting during holidays. If you have no experience in fasting for health, it is best to do it under the guidance of a professional teacher to avoid other health problems unrelated to this topic.
