During menstruation, women can engage in aerobic exercises for weight loss, such as jogging or brisk walking, and may also perform radio calisthenics or yoga—both of which help promote fat metabolism and thus support weight management. Additionally, dietary control is essential: maintain regular, balanced meals three times daily and avoid overeating or binge eating. As the body tends to be more vulnerable during menstruation, women should also take appropriate local hygiene measures to prevent gynecological infections.
