Don’t exercise during periods
According to experts, there is no scientific reason behind this, but exercising during periods can provide relief from pain, bloating, depression and irritability. However, high-intensity workouts should not be done during this time. Whether you want to exercise during this time or not depends on your comfort. If you are feeling weaker and tired then you can avoid it.
Pregnant women should double the diet
It is mostly advised to pregnant women that they should double their diet and now they should take a diet for two people. According to experts, this is not true. The nutrition of the baby indeed depends on the diet of the pregnant woman, but it does not mean that you have to double your diet. The amount of food pregnant women should eat in the second and third trimesters depend on their weight and the nutritional needs of the body.
Can't get pregnant from intercourse during periods
It is also said that if women are on periods and during this time they are having physical relations then they cannot become pregnant. Although the chances of getting pregnant are less by having physical relations during periods, you can get pregnant even during this time. If your periods are irregular, your blood flow is longer or your period cycle is shorter, then this affects your fertility window.
