Hey, 1) Proper hydration helps maintain fluid balance in the body, which can help alleviate headaches associated with dehydration. 2) Hydration supports adequate blood flow to the brain, which can help reduce the intensity and frequency of headaches. 3) Staying hydrated can help regulate hormone levels, including estrogen and progesterone, which may contribute to menstrual migraines. 4) Dehydration can lead to muscle tension and stiffness, which can cause headache symptoms. Drinking enough fluids can help relax muscles and alleviate headache discomfort. 5) Adequate hydration maintains proper electrolyte balance in the body, which is important for nerve function and overall health. Electrolyte imbalances can contribute to headache symptoms.

You would generally need calcium and vitamin d supplements once you hit your 40s. As you grow older your calcium absorption decreases and it is very important to maintain certain calcium levels for your bone and muscle strength. Vitamin d is needed for better absorption of calcium as well as for good mood regulation. Apart from that most other supplements get prescribed based on deficiency.

Menopause means stopping of female hormones, especially Estrogen. Because it is necessary for your vagina as well as your overall health, you can take so many natural Medicines instead of taking just supplements. You may face vaginal dryness, mood swings/ emotional ups and downs and osteoporosis. Also hot flushes irritates most. Just supplements are not sufficient if these symptoms are irritating you. Then Take proper consultation with your doctor. Natural medicines are more useful in my opinion.

I’ve heard about this thing called the 3-day rule with men, and I’m curious about what it means. Does it have to do with waiting three days before calling or texting after a date, or is it something else entirely? I’d love to get some insight into how this rule works and if it actually makes a difference in dating.

Hi there, I get where you are coming from. The "3-day rule" in dating is all about waiting three days before reaching out after a date. It's kind of an old-school idea suggesting that taking a bit of time before contacting someone again shows that you're not too eager or desperate. Some people believe it creates a bit of mystery or anticipation, while others see it as unnecessary game-playing. Ultimately, it's about finding what works for you and the person you're interested in. Some might appreciate a quick follow-up, while others might prefer a bit of space. It's all about communication and gauging each situation individually. I am a psychologist so if you have any more questions or ideas you'd like to share please feel free to hop in one of my live sessions and chat with me.

Is it healthy to take out some time everyday away from my husband?? Will it affect our relationship or strengthen it?

it is completely normal and healthy to want some time to yourself even when you're married. needing personal space does not mean that there is something wrong with your marriage. it just shows that you value your independence and like taking care of your well-being. taking time for your self helps you align your personal needs. manage stress, make goals for yourself and accomplish them.

Hello Dear. I'm a Consultant Psychologist and Sexual Health Expert. I have seen many young people having difficulty moving on from past relationships. Let me give you an analogy on how this works. Imagine a black ball inside of you, that's the pain you felt during break up. It doesn't go away. It stays but the beauty is it becomes smaller and smaller as you experience the even more beautiful things in life. And one day you won't even know that it exists because it's too small to notice. that's how trauma works. Hope I helped you and join my live to have a conversation with me.

Hi Beautiful. Okay. I'm a Consultant Psychologist and Sexual Health Expert. I have seen many couple's and I can see that, you really love your ex. You are a beautiful women and ofcourse he would miss to be with an amazing human. But this is something you seem to not realise, if you did, you wouldn't put yourself in such misery of waiting for him. I know it's difficult, but start by thinking that you would only allow respect, trust and love. Anything less isn't for you. I would want to talk more on this, come on a call with me on my live session. - Consultant Psychologist

Anonymous・19d

What do you want him to "find" in other women? Please share. It can take a day or even months. Life goes on, people will find new people who suit their interests. Most are normally like others and it's heartbreaking to lose what you loved and cared that you obsess over other person taking those things. Relax, it will take time to get over it.

Hey there! 🌸 Looking to boost your menstrual health? Consider adding these essentials to your routine: Iron for replenishing lost blood, Vitamin B6 to ease those pesky PMS symptoms, Magnesium for calming those cramps, Omega-3 fatty acids to soothe inflammation, and don't forget Calcium for bone health and mood stability. Your body will thank you for the extra support!

hina・12d

There is no restriction for your diet during your menstrual cycle. Nor are there any foods that you necessarily should eat, except for foods high in iron. Because of the blood loss, there is also some iron loss w/menstruation. Therefore, foods high in iron content can help replace the iron stores that women need. These foods can include dark chocolate in small amounts, molasses, and then green leafy veggies such as spinach, beef, turkey, etc. You can google for a more comprehensive list. Otherwise, no special diet is required.
