A lot of women deal with heavy bleeding due to their monthly menstrual cycle. Often the heavy bleeding is due to a fibroid. Fibroids are quite common but a lot of times, the doctors won't remove them so a lot of women suffer with heavy periods each month.
Heavy bleeding can be somewhat manageable when a woman doesn't have any children but adding children to the equation makes it even more difficult to deal with this each month. Every bit of energy is needed to take care of the kids and dealing with heavy bleeding is something every woman can do without.
Here are 3 tips that can help slow down heavy bleeding and also give women more energy when they need it most.
The first tip is to cut back on sugar. If sugar is cut out completely ... at least during the first few days of the period... this should help to slow down the bleeding and not sap so much energy from the body.
The second tip is to exercise. Exercise for some reason slows down the bleeding... plus, it will increase oxygen to the brain and provide the body with more energy. The problem with this is that when kids are involved, there is not much time to exercise... so tip number three might be the best solution.
The third tip is to take raw apple cider vinegar. This is a solution that is proven to work to slow down the bleeding associated with menstrual cycles. It is especially great when a woman has to be out in public and it is her 2nd or 3rd day of her period... when most women bleed the most... and she just doesn't want to be embarrassed by being in the bathroom the whole time.
Put approximately one tablespoon in a large glass of water and sip it throughout the day. If the bleeding is extra heavy, drink two glasses of water with 1 tablespoon of raw (must be "raw". Braggs raw apple cider vinegar is awesome) apple cider vinegar a day.
Some people can't stomach the taste of the vinegar, so instead, put it in a glass of apple juice (preferably sugar-free) or grape juice and drink it that way... to hide the strong taste.
Most likely, the amount of pads used in a day will decrease dramatically after using vinegar for only a day or two... and it is not uncommon to go through only a pad or two after the 3rd day of the period. The first month or two of using vinegar, however, be aware that the body might experience more clotting as it gets rid of old "stuff" in the system. This is a good thing as it is cleaning things out... detoxifying the system.
An added bonus? Taking apple cider vinegar on a daily basis is proven to increase ones energy.
