Giving up meat means a lot of good things for the body: less risk of gaining weight, having high cholesterol, in many cases – more adequate nutrition. But vegetarianism also affects other processes, such as the menstrual cycle. And here’s how it could play out.
1. Duration
Studies show that vegetarians and vegans generally weigh less and are more physically active. And if a person doesn’t consume enough calories or eats unevenly (especially when combined with intense training), critical days can become shorter or even stop.
2.PMS
An Australian study found that vegetarians suffer from more severe premenstrual syndrome, as well as irregular cycles and heavy bleeding. This is likely because people who have given up meat are more likely to report such symptoms.
3. Iron level
Vegetarians and vegans can be deficient in iron in the body. It can be obtained with food – vegetables, cereals, nuts, but there is more iron in meat and it is better absorbed. With heavy menstruation, you need to especially carefully monitor the level of iron so as not to get anemia. Iron deficiency causes decreased immunity, fatigue, weakness, headaches, paleness – and that’s just part of a long list of unpleasant side effects.
