Lifestyle changes for less flow of periods

We have seen in our practice that lifestyle modifications can be an effective way to correct hormonal imbalances, as they can help support the production and regulation of hormones in the body. 

1. Diet: Eating a diet that is high in fiber and low in processed foods and sugar can help regulate insulin levels, which can in turn help regulate other hormones such as estrogen and testosterone. In short, work on your insulin resistance.

2. Sleep: getting adequate sleep (7-9 hours) is essential for regulating hormones, as the body’s production of certain hormones is linked to the sleep-wake cycle. Make sure to stick to a routine and have same going to bed and wake up time.

3. Exercise: Regular exercise has also been shown to improve hormone balance by reducing stress and inflammation in the body, which can help regulate cortisol levels (stress hormones) and improve insulin sensitivity. 150 min a week is ideally recommended.

4. Stress management: stress is inevitable, but it is possible to manage stress. Practice yoga, meditation, and deep breathing exercises that can also help reduce stress levels, which can have a positive impact on hormone balance.
