Today we are going to discuss a nutrition and fitness lifestyle that is trending among Millennials and Gen-Z-ers; it is called Cycle Syncing. “Cycle” as in menstrual cycles. As most of us know, menstruation is a monthly cycle in the female body that is driven by hormonal fluctuations. But did you know that menstruation is more than just the days of bleeding? The bleeding part is just one of 4 phases which occur during a month. Girls should start having cycles at the beginning of puberty, and will continue having them every month until menopause, (woo hoo, lucky us) unless there is an outstanding circumstance such as pregnancy, medical condition, meds/contraceptives or undernutrition. With the monthly hormonal fluctuations comes changes in mood, energy levels, appetite, skin, and body water retention, and more. Could Cycle Syncing be the answer to alleviating these symptoms? Let’s take a closer look.
