Q What everyday habits can I build to reduce menstrual cramps and cycle irregularity?
A The key points are keeping the lower abdomen warm, reducing cold foods, going to bed before 11 p.m., and taking a light 20-30 minute walk each day. Managing your diet by cutting back on sweet drinks and flour-based foods also makes a big difference.
Detailed Answer
Regular sleep and moderate exercise are the basics for stabilizing your hormonal rhythm. Falling asleep before 11 p.m. and the habit of a light 20-30 minute walk each day help even out the ovulatory rhythm. We also recommend managing your diet by reducing sweet drinks and flour-based snacks that sharply raise blood sugar.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
At the clinic, we view keeping the lower abdomen, hands, feet, and joints warm and avoiding cold foods as the basis of uterine health. Lifestyle improvement and restoring uterine circulation are most effective when they go together, and by building one sustainable habit at a time, you can maintain a comfortable cycle for a long time without recurrence.
