How To Manage Your Health, & Menstrual Cycle, All Month Long

Looking after your menstrual health is important – every day of the month.

It’s as important as managing your general health, keeping your hormones in check, and ensuring you’re living your best life everyday. But sometimes, we need a little extra help.

Cleanmarine PeriodPlan is the ultimate supplement to support the balance of hormones, every day, every cycle.

Take a look at some of the simple ways you can tweak your lifestyle, and put your health – and your menstrual health – first.

1. Eat well

Your meal choices are incredibly important when it comes to your health. If you’re not nourishing your body with a good amount of protein, fruit, veg, fibre, and fats, you may feel run down… something you really don’t want when you’re on your period.

Try to limit the amount of sugar and salt you eat, and make sure you’re eating three balanced meals per day. Your body will thank you for it!

2. Prioritise sleep

Most of us aren’t getting enough sleep, and that’s affecting our health. According to the Mayo Clinic, adults should be getting at least seven hours of sleep per night, to ensure optimum brain function, body performance, and mood regulation.

Not getting enough sleep can increase your risk of heart disease, depression, and high blood pressure related disorders.

3. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate!

How much water did you drink today? Was it enough? Adults should be drinking around two litres of water each day – and more if you’re working out, living in a hot climate, or pregnant.

Drinking water brings nutrients to cells, gets rid of waste, protects the joints and the organs, and maintains body temperature. If you’re struggling to get your two litres, why not invest in a nice water bottle or a stainless steel cup?

4. Get moving

Going to the gym, or heading out on a 5k, can sometimes feel daunting. But exercise can be whatever you want it to be – find some movement that works for you, and keep on top of your health.

Regular movement strengthens the muscles and the bones, reduces the risk of disease, helps maintain weight, strengthens the heart, improves circulation, and can even lower blood pressure.

Some people report exercise even helps with period cramps – win win!

5. Limit alcohol

These days, more and more people are choosing the sober lifestyle – but if you’re not ready to ditch the drink just yet, don’t worry. Limiting the amount of alcohol you drink (and not going wild every weekend), can still help maintain good health.

Adult women are advised to limit their alcohol intake to 14 units per week (or one drink, per day). Excessive drinking can lead to liver disease, heart disease, increased blood pressure, and more.

6. Introduce a supplement

Our bodies are amazing, but sometimes they need a little extra help. Cleanmarine’s PeriodPlan helps regulate your Omega 3 DHA levels. The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 250mg DHA.

PeriodPlan also contains Vitamin B6, which contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity and normal psychological function.

Vitamin B2 contributes to the maintenance of normal skin, while both Vitamin B2 and B6 contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, and to normal energy-yielding metabolism.

Sounds good to us!
