According to America's National Institute of Health, about 75% of women get menstrual cramps, and 50% have severe cramps—and most are pre-menopausal. Painful menstrual cramps have multiple causes: Hormonal changes, pelvic inflammation, and even endometriosis can be a source of pain. It is not located to the pain and discomfort, but it also affects women's everyday life since it severely limits the things you can do during that time. This article aims to help you understand what causes menstrual cramps and how natural remedies relieve period cramps. How Menstrual Cramps are Caused The pain of menstrual cramps, known medically as dysmenorrhea, can range from mild to moderate to severe. Menstrual cramps are caused by prostaglandins, hormone-like substances that cause contractions of the uterus (womb). Prostaglandins are released during ovulation and menstruation. They cause the muscle layer of the uterus to contract and wring out the uterine lining (endometrium) through the cervix. The cause of this varies from one woman to another. It can be due to an underlying health condition, delayed puberty, stress, or even your diet. If you have started your period earlier than what is considered normal for your age or have a heavier flow than usual, it's best to consult your doctor. In some women, prostaglandins may also cause abdominal cramping. The muscles around the uterus contract, causing cramping and intense pain. Several common remedies can help reduce symptoms such as bloating, headaches, and irritability associated with menstruation. Hence, there are also many suggestions that have been found include the intake of vitamins, minerals, and calcium, exercise, alternative medicines, and even relaxation techniques. Menstrual cramps painkillers and triggers The pain associated with menstrual cramps may last for several days. Medications such as ibuprofen and naproxen are available over-the-counter for treating pain caused by menstrual cramps. These medications are helpful in alleviating pain but may cause side effects such as indigestion, constipation, and vomiting. They can also affect blood pressure, which makes some women more vulnerable to heart attacks and stroke if they take this kind of medication regularly.

Pair with honey, well-served!

What is the difference between clean beauty and natural beauty? Most of us are drawn to clean products because they seem so much safer, but does clean necessarily mean better? On the other hand, many people believe that anything natural is better, but how much is that actually true? This article tackles the question of what we can expect when choosing either a clean or a natural product. Some of the pros of clean beauty include having fewer synthetic ingredients, which is always a good thing. And since these brands know exactly what's in their product, it's less likely to have any unknown risks associated with it. The difference between Clean Beauty and Natural Beauty The difference between clean beauty and natural beauty is that clean takes on an active meaning of being free from contaminants, while natural simply refers to what is in nature. Clean beauty products are cosmetics that have been tested and do not contain any harmful chemicals or substances, while natural beauty products can be anything you can find in nature such as fresh vegetables and oils like olive oil and avocado oil. Advantages of each type of beauty Many people believe that clean beauty means products are free of potentially harmful chemicals like sulfates, phthalates, and parabens. Natural beauty refers to beauty products made from natural ingredients such as shea butter and coconut oil. Clean beauty is created using advanced biotechnology while natural beauty is typically created using less sophisticated methods. The decision of which kind of beauty you want to use usually comes down to personal preference, but clean beauty might be better for people with sensitive skin or allergies because it has less potential to irritate your skin or cause an allergic reaction than natural beauty products. Natural beauty products often have cheaper prices than their clean counterparts because they are not subject to government regulation in many countries. Clean beauty is more expensive due to extensive testing requirements before each product can be sold. In addition, many natural beauty companies are multi-level marketing models where customers have to buy expensive product packages before being able to sell anything themselves. The disadvantages of clean beauty are that products do not contain any preservatives, so they must be used quickly after opening and stored away from light, heat, humidity, and air. Some consumers also feel that clear packaging takes away some of the enjoyment out of looking at prettily packaged cosmetics. Many people believe that one type of beauty is better than another when it really just depends on what you prefer personally. When choosing between either natural or clean beauty, there are many things to consider based on preferences such as cost-effectiveness or sensitivities caused by certain ingredients found in makeup and other cosmetic items. The best products for each type of beauty Clean beauty products, on average, have more organic ingredients and less potentially harmful chemicals than natural beauty products do. Clean beauty products are always good for your skin because they generally come in smaller sizes so that you can try out one or two different items before investing in an entire product. The downside to clean beauty is that you need to purchase other things like shampoo, conditioner, and soap separately from your other cosmetics because most clean brands don't make their own versions of these products. Natural beauty is popular for people who prefer ingredients that are natural but may be sensitive to certain chemicals like glycols which are found in many types of makeup as well as hair dyes and treatments - all of which could have harsher effects on their health than simpler ingredients like honey or lemon juice might have. Tips on choosing the best products for you There are many factors that go into choosing what products are best for you - such as your skin type, environmental conditions, and lifestyle. So it's important to consider all of these before making any rash decisions about which type of beauty is best for you. With clean beauty products being significantly more expensive than natural ones, you may be tempted to turn to natural makeup and skincare because it's cheaper. But if you're going through beauty products super fast or have sensitive skin (or both!), then trying out clean beauty might be for you. Looking for your new clean beauty routine?

Extend the life of candles and burn like a pro by following these simple tips, provided by Light Up Malaysia. Memory rings of candles Every candle has memory, and the first burn is the most important. Candles should burn one hour for every inch in diameter of the actual candle size. If the wax is not allowed to melt from edge to edge of the jar, the memory ring will be created. Once the memory ring is formed, the candle will continue to burn that way for the life of the candle. Keep the wick trimmed to 1/8 inch at all times Light Up Malaysia suggest to trim the candle wick every 4 hours of burning time. The candle should always come to room temperature after the flame been extinguish, and you can trim the wick to 1/8 of inch before light it. Wick trimmers can be used to create a nice clean cut and maintains the wick properly. Do not burn the candles more than 4 hours at a time It is recommended that after burning for four hours, candles be extinguished, allowed to cool for two hours, and trimmed before relighting.

Moving air can disturb the flame, resulting in those pesky black marks on the glass.

每到生理期，都會精神不振，除了吃跟休息什麼事都不想做！其實生理週期可以幫助我們了解身體的循環，只要掌握住幾個運動要點，並攝取身體該吸收的養分，雕塑身型就離你不遠了！現在就讓編輯來分享我們身上這個獨有的週期，利用它一起跟橫肉說掰掰吧！ 首先先記好上面這張生理期的時間表，搞懂是怎麼運作的就可以開始計畫了！以下也給大家一些不同時期的建議。 #第一期：生理期（第1-5天） 經期來時，由於黃體激素分泌下降，小姐姐們會開始出現情緒低落、悶悶不樂、過度疲勞、皮膚乾燥、毛孔粗大等症狀。記得加強保濕，讓皮膚保持穩定，另外抵抗力也會降低，還可能會有生理痛的情形。 營養補充：多吃含鐵質的食物 （紅肉/菠菜/豬肝）、堅果 （南瓜子/芝麻/核桃）、補氣食物 （龍眼/紅棗）；少吃辛辣燥熱物 （辣椒/大蒜/胡椒/油炸食物）及寒涼食物 （冷飲/薏仁/西瓜）。這個階段建議不要節食，容易導致脫水。 減重策略：將目標放在伸展、雕塑，幫助身體血液循環，避免去做高強度的運動，可以選擇輕柔的徒手運動像瑜珈、皮拉提斯，或是慢跑這類的有氧運動。 #第二期：瘦身期（第6-14天） 女性一般在月經來後第14天開始排卵，正是雌性激素和雄性激素分泌最旺盛的時期，這個階段身體會加快體內所有營養素的吸收和消耗，是最適合鍛鍊自己體能、嘗試各種挑戰、心情也格外有活力的一週。把握這個階段瘦身，擬定好運動計畫最能事半功倍！ 營養補充：多攝取營養密度高的原型食物、有利於消化及代謝的高纖食物和多補充水分，有助體內排出身體不需要的廢物。此時也是容易發胖的時期，所以儘量少吃垃圾食物。 減重策略：游泳、騎自行車運動能特別幫助消耗熱量。重訓和拳擊這類較激烈運動，如果體力可以負荷，不妨在這週完成。 #第三期：緩和期（第15-21天） 排卵期後的一周，因為黃體激素增加，皮膚狀況開始不穩定，油脂分泌旺盛，容易有痘痘、粉刺、黑色素活化，角質增厚的問題。 營養補充：新陳代謝回歸到一般正常水平，容易有水腫和食慾大增的情況。多吃消水腫食物 （小紅豆/蘋果/木瓜/椰子水），吃些核桃、腰果等含維生素B的食物，有利於鎮靜神經，但要切記克制甜食。 減重策略：利用休息日去戶外進行長跑、爬山等長足耐力有氧運動，對脂肪和熱量都是極好的消耗。但也要注意不要造成肌肉拉傷，適量運動適量休息！ #第四期：停滯期（第22-28天） 這個階段，身心狀況又開始不穩定了起來。體內激素影響皮膚和消化系統運作，可能會有便秘問題，體重也會因為賀爾蒙的關係造成水腫而微微上升。 營養補充：建議多吃清淡、易消化的食物幫助腸道運作，同時攝取足夠的蛋白質補充下次經期時將會流失的營養素和礦物質。多吃肉類、蛋、豆腐、黃豆都是不錯的選擇。 減重策略：運動時間、頻率、強度開始慢慢減少，因為進入停滯期，運動效果比較不明顯，但能做20-30分鐘的有氧及骨盆伸展，減少水腫及痛經的問題。 #碎碎念 1. 經期前一週可以天天攝取鈣片，減緩經期水腫的情況，並降低對體重的影響。 2. 感覺胃口特別好是賀爾蒙在作怪，如果真的放縱的吃，體重就真的會增加了。這時候對抗食慾最好的方法就是「去睡覺」。 更多資訊，請追蹤 IG @Vase_Creation 喲。
