Tips from MiYé x Smoon

Staying fit during your period can be a challenge for many of us. Between aches and pains, fatigue and mood swings, how can we find the motivation and energy to maintain a sports and well-being routine?

Fortunately, there are solutions to make this period more bearable and beneficial. Sport, combined with specific products like those offered by Miyé, can be the winning combination. Let’s find out how.

Physical activity during menstruation: An ally against pain

Many women tend to avoid exercising during their period because of discomfort or pain, and just want to stay in bed. Yet physical activity can be an excellent remedy for menstrual cramps. Moderate-intensity activities such as walking, yoga or swimming can help relax uterine muscles, helping to reduce pain.

For optimal comfort during your workout, consider incorporating Smoon menstrual underwear and garments into your outfit:

Selene menstrual briefs – medium flow
Menstrual shorts – Demeter
Menstrual Cyclist – Asteria
Menstrual leggings – Hersé

These products provide reliable protection, so you can enjoy your activity with confidence, without worrying about leaks.

But can you do sit-ups during your period? The answer depends on each woman.

For some, this activity may exacerbate discomfort, while for others, it has no impact. It’s essential to listen to your body.

A balanced diet for optimal menstrual comfort

A balanced diet plays a crucial role in maintaining menstrual comfort. Be sure to include foods rich in essential nutrients such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins in your diet.

Managing stress for a harmonious menstrual cycle

Stress management is essential to feeling well, especially during the menstrual period. Stress can exacerbate common painful period symptoms such as abdominal pain, mood swings and intimate discomfort.

Yet taking steps to actively manage stress can help alleviate these symptoms. Techniques such as meditation, deep breathing and yoga can help calm the mind and body.

In addition, moments dedicated to oneself, such as taking a warm bath or reading a book, can also help reduce stress. The use of products such as Miyé’s ESSENTIELS SÉRÉNITÉ and EQUILIBRE FEMININ food supplements can also provide a sense of calm.

The importance of sleep for menstrual comfort

Sleep plays a crucial role in overall well-being, especially during the menstrual cycle. Quality sleep can help alleviate fatigue, moodiness and even cramps.

Listen to your body: If you feel the need to sleep a little more during your period, do so. The body works harder during this period and may need extra rest.
Create a conducive environment: Make sure your bedroom is cool, dark and quiet. Products like ESSENTIELS SÉRÉNITÉ can also help you relax before bedtime.
Manage discomfort: If menstrual pain is preventing you from sleeping, consider applying HAPPY CYCLES BODY SERUM to the lower abdomen to soothe cramps.

Stay hydrated to reduce pain

Staying hydrated is essential at all times, but during menstruation it’s particularly important. Menstruation can lead to fluid loss, increasing the risk of dehydration.

What’s more, dehydration can increase feelings of swelling and fatigue, and can even exacerbate cramps. By drinking enough water, the body is better able to regulate its functions, facilitate blood circulation and effectively eliminate toxins. This can help reduce uncomfortable symptoms such as bloating and abdominal pain.

To stay in shape during your period, it’s advisable to drink regularly throughout the day. Choose pure water, herbal teas or hydrating drinks with no added sugar. Proper hydration not only promotes physical wellbeing, but also mental well-being, enabling every woman to experience her menstrual period with greater serenity and energy.

Body care with Miyé

During the menstrual period, a woman’s body undergoes a number of changes, causing a variety of discomforts such as intimate discomfort or tense breasts.

To remedy these ailments and provide optimal menstrual comfort, Miyé products can be real allies. Happy Cycles Serum is a soothing solution for the body. When applied, particularly to areas where the breasts are tense, it provides deep hydration while offering a sensation of lightness and freshness.

And to combat the intimate discomfort often experienced during this period, MiYé’s Intimate Comfort Pack has been specially designed. It offers delicate protection, respects vaginal flora and provides the softness needed to feel comfortable all day long. By combining these products, every woman can take care of herself and respond to her body’s specific needs during her period. The result is a more harmonious and comfortable menstrual experience.

In conclusion, it’s perfectly possible to maintain optimal physical activity and well-being during menstruation with the right advice and products. By listening to your body and putting into practice the recommendations presented, every woman can get through this period more serenely and comfortably.

The combination of quality products from MiYé and Smoon offers a complete solution to meet the specific needs of every woman, whether to relieve pain, promote muscle relaxation or ensure intimate comfort. By taking care of your body and adopting a caring approach to yourself, it’s entirely possible to experience this phase of the menstrual cycle in a harmonious and fulfilling way.

Let’s not forget that every woman is unique and deserves to experience this period comfortably and with complete peace of mind.

Catamenial migraine, sometimes called menstrual or hormonal migraine, affects nearly 60% of women who suffer from migraines, according to the International Headache Society (IHS).

Heavy legs and heat: the hidden role of hormones and natural remedies

The effect of heat: to regulate its internal temperature, the body dilates blood vessels (vasodilation). This relaxation of the vein walls slows down blood return to the heart, causing pooling, swelling, and a heavy sensation in the lower limbs.

The influence of hormones: fluctuations in estrogen levels increase vascular permeability and promote water retention, making women more prone to heavy legs.

Natural remedies: physical activity, a balanced diet, dry brushing, and the use of botanical extracts offer a holistic approach to soothe inflammation and restore a feeling of lightness.

How to Know If You're Menopausal: Symptoms, Age and Tests

Menopause is officially confirmed after 12 consecutive months without a period, in the absence of any other cause (pregnancy, birth control pills, medical condition). If there is any doubt, particularly before age 45 or while using contraception, a blood test measuring FSH and estradiol levels can confirm the diagnosis. Several warning signs (hot flashes, irregular cycles, sleep disturbances) can be present well before this definitive cessation of menopause.

Menopause and Weight Gain: Causes and How to Regain Balance

Menopause and weight gain are often associated as two simultaneous events. In reality, the first pounds usually appear during perimenopause, this transitional period that begins as early as 42-45 years of age, several years before menstruation ceases permanently. Even at this stage, hormonal fluctuations are already significant: cycles become irregular, estrogen levels vary erratically before gradually declining. These variations are enough to trigger a redistribution of body fat and a noticeable metabolic slowdown.

Postbiotics: Benefits, Role and What You Need to Know

Postbiotics are molecules and fragments resulting from the activity of probiotics. Although inanimate, they exert measurable beneficial effects on the host's health. Unlike probiotics, which are live microorganisms consumed to rebalance the gut flora, postbiotics refer to preparations of inactivated bacteria or metabolites (short-chain fatty acids, peptides, polysaccharides, etc.). They interact directly with the microbiota, the intestinal mucosa, and the immune system, and, via the gut-brain pathway, influence overall well-being. Recognized by the International Scientific Association for Probiotics and Prebiotics (ISAPP), they represent an emerging and complementary approach to digestive health.
