Nutrition, Diet and Health Tips

Ladies, our hormones are on a rollercoaster every month, shifting through four distinct phases of our cycle. Each phase comes with its own energy levels, moods, and—let’s be honest—some surprises are not the coolest!

• Week 1 (Post-Menses): We feel like superheroes! Energy is high, workouts feel effortless, and we can conquer the world—maybe even run a marathon (okay, maybe just a sprint, lol).
• Ovulation (Mid-Cycle): Your body is biologically programmed to make you more attractive, confident, and on the hunt for fertilization. If you know, you know!
• The Last Week Before Menses: This is where the body starts whispering (or sometimes yelling) about what it didn’t get—hello, PMS! That chin pimple, dry skin, mood swings, fatigue, and cravings (thankfully, I dodged that bullet).
• Menses: For some, it’s smooth sailing; for others, it’s cramps, bloating, and the urge to stay under a blanket all day. If your period is painful or irregular, that’s your body sending a clear signal—it’s time to talk to a dietitian (me!) about balancing your hormones naturally.

Why Walking is a Game-Changer Before Your Period

By the last week before your period, energy levels dip, and your usual workout routine might feel like a punishment. But here’s why walking should be your best friend:

1️⃣ Gentle Movement Without the Burnout – Your body is already working overtime preparing for menstruation. Walking—whether slow or brisk—keeps your heart moving and your body engaged without feeling like a chore.

2️⃣ A Natural Mood Booster (Hello, Vitamin D!) – If you’re in Kenya (or anywhere with good sun), a morning or evening walk can boost your vitamin D levels, which directly supports mood regulation, hormone balance, and overall well-being.

3️⃣ Stress Management & Emotional Reset – If your moods tend to skyrocket during this phase (guilty as charged), walking helps you manage stress before you snap at people you actually like.

4️⃣ Reconnecting with Nature – Walk in areas with greenery, take in the fresh air, and let nature work its therapeutic magic. Also, let’s be mindful of protecting our environment—it does so much for us!

5️⃣ A Powerful Way to Start or End Your Day – Whether it’s an intentional morning reset or an evening wind-down, walking gives you that much-needed time to pause, reflect, and recharge.
