We recommend a healthy diet and self-care based on your natural hormone rhythm and your physical and
mental condition.
Women have an optimal phase for fitness and dieting and a phase where the body needs more rest due to
the balance of hormones. The graph below shows the menstrual cycle and changes to the balance of
hormones. From the latter part of the menstrual cycle to the preovulatory phase, the amount of estrogen
increases making the body stronger and more energetic, making it the optimal time for exercising. This
phase is known as the “effective diet period”. Conversely, when the levels of progesterone increase after
ovulation, the mind and body may tend to become slightly unbalanced. This phase is not so optimal for
exercise, and is known as the “relaxation period”.
Ignoring this hormonal rhythm and undertaking excess exercise can cause the body to become too thin. In
recent years, young women tend to overdo dieting or eat an unbalanced diet. As a result, problems such as
reduced hormonal effects, reduced bone mass or unstable, slowing of or stoppage of the menstrual cycle,
which in some cases prevent essential female bodily functions of pregnancy and childbirth from working. It
is therefore essential to understand your body’s natural rhythm, and ensure that no unnecessary stress is
placed on the body in order to make a healthy body.exercise, and is known as the “relaxation period”.
