Many girls have noticed a phenomenon that during their menstrual period, it is often the moment when we lose weight. When we weigh ourselves, we may find that we have gained weight again, and sometimes we inexplicably crave small snacks such as sweets. Why is this?
1. Eating sweet foods during menstruation is the result of hormonal changes caused by physiological changes in the body. During menstruation, the levels of progesterone and hormones in women's bodies decrease, and the decrease in hormones stimulates an increase in appetite, making the body more eager to eat. Sweet foods have relatively high calories, which can meet the body's needs, so it is normal to love sweet foods during menstruation.
2. Eating sweets can make one feel happy. Girls should be aware that during their menstrual period, their mood will inexplicably become low, and they may even become sentimental and sometimes wonder if they have depression. Eating sweets can have a relieving effect on low mood at this time, making the mood sunny. Therefore, during menstruation, one may unconsciously crave sweet foods.
However, although it is possible to eat some sweets during menstruation, the calorie and sugar content of sweets are relatively high. Eating too much not only causes obesity, but also harms one's health.
