5 things to tell your daughter about periods

Here's 5 things I think we should all tell our daughters about their periods:

1. Track your cycle: It's a good indicator of overall health and wellbeing, helps you identify irregularities and anticipate symptoms

2. Understand the different phases and why you feel like you do. If you're craving all the carbs, there might be a reason. If you want to swap your normal run for a stretch, lean in...

3. Don't use chemical period products. The bleached tampons of our youth make me feel There’s so much more choice and healthier options out there now

4. Gentle exercise really helps with period pain. It boosts your mood and improves circulation to ease muscle tension

5. It might seem like a curse, but it’s a monthly reminder of how powerful and awesome your body is.
