As if the heat is not enough, the periods also come. Yes, it's the worst scenario ever, but you can get away with it with a few simple tricks:
1. Hydrate, even when you don't drink water
Make sure you drink plenty of water, as dehydration causes headaches and makes periods even more painful. Bonus? You may also experience dizziness. If you are one of those people who forgets to drink water, set reminders on your phone or download apps that will help you stay hydrated.
2. Avoid caffeine and alcohol
Caffeine and alcohol are enemies of periods, as they cause dehydration (imagine, in this heat), and can also cause terrible headaches. The consequences of a "crazy" night are worse in summer.
3. Eat healthy foods
Did you know that your diet affects your period? So, during this period, make sure to eat lots of fruits, vegetables and foods rich in potassium. Avoid those that contain a lot of salt or sugar. Also, don't forget the spinach, because you need a lot of iron.
4. Wear loose clothes, linen or cotton
Let the skin breathe. Wear comfortable underwear and fresh T-shirts. Also, change hygiene products as often as possible, as vaginal infections are very active in the summer.
5. Improve sleep
Grab an eye mask, turn on the air conditioner, a bottle of ice, lower the blinds, take a nice shower, put on your comfiest pajamas and go to sleep. This will help you get through your periods easily and not have too much pain.
6. Do not expose yourself to the sun
UV rays not only cause damage to the eyes, hyperpigmentation, or promote aging of the skin, but also for the heat and discomfort that periods give. Don't forget SPF for your face and body, a hat and stay in the shade, with a water bottle with you.
