Girl Question, exersise?

Question

Can walking a mile a day delay or stop my period? I take my dog for a mile give or take everyday, a few times a day, once in the morning, once in the afternoon, and once in the evening. So it ends up being a few miles of walking once you add it up. I do this because school is out and the exersise is good. I know that some people who are very athletic and are in a lot of sports don't have their periods or not as often. So I was wondering if my walks help make my period easier, so far my period is late. But I am young and I definetly don't have a regular cycle.

Answer 1

Yes, exercise can delay your period, it can shorten the number of days, and also aid in lessening cramps and so forth.

Eventually, your period will normalize, and for many women becomes like clockwork. Many things can affect your cycle, such as exercise, stress, or even flying in an airplane (the change in pressure). Sounds like you're doing fine.

Answer 2

Hi,

Your period may be irregular or late sometimes. Some of us are very regular, some are not. Exercise benefits any menstrual or pre-menstrual stress, aches and pains or other symptoms, but it won't delay your period. When exercising at the level you suggest, my friends and I have noticed that it helps you get through the period sooner. It is all depends on your body and your hormones. I found a lot of helpful information. You can go to iVillage.com for a lot of very helpful information

Answer 3

Any exercise will help with your cycle. It sounds like a great routine. You can try doing some stretches and maybe some easy push-ups and crunches to round it out. Only extemely athletic women like tri-athletes or marathon runners lose their periods, so you shouldn't have to worry about that.

Answer 4

I am in the exact same position as you, it's scary! I just asked a question that sounded like this. I am also young and irregular. I want to delay mine for this weekend when I go to my lakehouse with a bunch of friends. Check out my question& answers for some answers to yours. Sorry, but I can't help you right now, because I also have no idea!

Answer 5

It might help with cramps, but the athletes who do this do alot more exercise than this. Don't forget, they have to exercise hours every day so that they are the best in their sport.

Answer 6

the reason why many women athletes dont have their periods, which is very unhealthy, is becasue they dont have enough body fat to sustain a period. a women is suppose to have no less than 12% bodyfat for being healthy and being able to have a normal period!

Answer 7

I have tried that once and I found it doesn't stop it but it decreases the blood flow. Good luck!

Answer 8

if you are normal weight and are not stressed it shouldnt do but if you are underweight cos of all walkin or just cos ur doin lots of exercise it can some people

Custom Multivitamin
Multivitamin Based on Your Body's Needs

Your body is unique. The bio-nutrients it needs for optimal functional health may be different from those that someone else needs.

That's why ordinary multivitamins don't cut it. Multivitamins from the drugstore, and expensive supplements from nutrition and health food stores alike, can leave you with too much of some nutrients, too little of others, or none at all of other particular nutrients your body needs.
The simple truth is that "one-size-fits-all" multivitamin cannot provide you with optimal nutrition because they are created for a hypothetical "average" person. No such person exists.

On top of that, many ingredients in drug store brand multivitamins are in hard-to-absorb forms, or their ingredients are isolated from their synergistic nutrient partners—facts which can greatly reduce their effectiveness.

Ideal Health's unique Custom Essentials® are a customized formula of the highest quality nutrients chosen for your body's unique needs based on the results of a sophisticated test (the PrivaTest®) that looks at metabolic markers in your urine.
Why Ideal Health supplements are the finest in the world.

State-of-the-art formularies & research facilities
Ideal Health's formulary facilities have been supplying healthcare professionals all over the world with quality nutritional supplements for 50 years. Our professional research staff includes Ph.D.'s with degrees in biochemistry, clinical nutrition, pharmaceuticals, chemistry, and microbiology.

The lab that does the testing also employs professional researchers including Ph.D.'s, registered nurses, and clinical nutritionists.

Ideal Health employs research and production facilities on both coasts of the United States as well as in Europe (the Netherlands) and in Shanghai, China. The Asian and European facilities are vital for research and materials acquisition for European, Chinese and Ayurvedic herbs.
Manufacturing processes that preserve potency and assure quality
Our formulary uses a true cold-processing technique that preserves potency. For capsules, this means that the product never gets above 77 degrees during processing. Our products get results because the nutrients are intact.

Many other manufacturers use fluid granulation, a cheaper process in which the material is mixed with water and then dried and evaporated. They do this to improve compression. However, this often damages synergistic co-partners and decreases the potency of the ingredients.

Then, to insure uniform nutrient distribution for complex formulations, we developed a "stepped" blending technique that can involve up to 15 separate steps for each of 48 permutations of 50 nutrients. You can be absolutely sure that what it says on the label of your Custom Essentials is actually in each daily dose.


Who does the testing? Tell me about the lab.
Metametrix Clinical Laboratory has been a leader in the assessment of nutrition and metabolism since 1984 and is fully licensed to accept specimens from every state in the USA as well as internationally. Metametrix is regularly inspected by the Department of Health and Human Services for CLIA (Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments) licensure and by the Georgia Department of Human Resources for its Clinical Laboratory License. Their expert staff includes Ph.D.'s, registered nurses, and clinical nutritionists who were all involved in researching, developing, and documenting the science behind the Ideal Health concept.



How long have they been testing?
The laboratory has been performing metabolic testing for thousands of nutritionally-oriented physicians and other healthcare professionals from around the world since 1984.

What other experience does the lab have in customized nutrition?
In 1992, Dr. Bralley began to use his clinical laboratory experience in the area of sports nutrition. He developed the ION program (Individualized Optimal Nutrition), a testing panel of approximately 150 metabolic markers in blood and urine. Clients who have been tested on the ION program include:

(We are barred from giving actual names due to client confidentiality.)
• Georgia Institute of Technology Varsity Student Athletes.
• Players on professional teams such as the Chicago Cubs, the Seattle Mariners, and the Oakland Raiders.
• Top PGA golfers including past winners of the Masters, the British Open, and the U.S. Open.
• Wimbledon and U.S. Tennis Open Champions.
• Professional and amateur sports car competitors, power lifters, and body builders.
• A former World Heavyweight Boxing Champion.
