Exercise
A 2018 study found that low-to-moderate intensity aerobic exercise may lessen the discomfort associated with period cramps. In this study, researchers discovered that period cramps significantly decreased in women who exercised for 30 minutes on three consecutive days a week for eight weeks.
Considering biking to work, taking a quick walk during lunch, dancing to favorite music, or participating in a sport is a fit to be considered an aerobics workout. Researchers also believe that blood circulation and endorphin production are both improved by doing aerobic exercises.
When a muscle cramp occurs when exercising, stop it immediately and try to stretch first, as it is the easiest method to relieve cramps instantly. Remember that stretching is necessary both before and after exercise.
To help the tight muscle relax, try to extend it, gently touch and massage it. A calf cramp or charley horse can be relieved by standing up, shifting weight to the leg that is cramped, and bending the knee slightly. Sit on the floor with a foot or leg out in front if experiencing tightening in the leg. As you gradually draw a foot back, then keep one leg straight.
