UPDATED 10/26 Sleep quality is one of the most important yet most ignored life factors.

Activity level, hydration, sleep quality and certain foods can have a great impact on ailments during this time. For some women, TRIGGER FOODS just before and during their period and during ovulation have a much stronger impact...it's important to eliminate your triggers around these times. Bowel movement There's a whole science around bowel movements...that's how important they are to your health. They're critical to excreting harmful toxins and chemicals from your body. 1 to 3 movements a day is considered "normal". Hydrating, getting lots of fiber rich foods everyday (that are not triggers for you) and lowering your stress levels help keep you "regular". Yoga/Stretching UPDATED 10/26 Stretching is very important for PHYSICAL and MENTAL health. It relaxes you, increases circulation and helps maintain range of motion in the joints. A practice of 4 to 5 times a week can act as a protective shield against the ravages of stress hormones so you feel and look younger. Consult your health professional about a low impact stretching or yoga routine you can do everyday. Water intake UPDATED 10/26 Three to five days without water and you DIE. PURE water is important to EVERY function and structure in your body...from regulating body temperature, to mood, to brain function to lubricating your joints to keep them pain free. It also works to reduce inflammation throughout the body by flushing out irritants and harmful toxins. As a general rule, lighter yellow urine is a sign of proper hydration and darker urine is a sign of dehydration. Activity Level UPDATED 10/26 try 2: Activity is important to your PHYSICAL and MENTAL health. Regular activity reduces the risk of many "diseases" while staving off depression and anxiety. Activity IS a "stress" on the body, so keep balanced with hydration and healthy nutrient rich foods. Strive to get the equivalent of 10,000 to 15,000 steps a day but consult your healthcare professional before you change your daily activity routine.
