Yes: Malnourishment can effect your period and overall health. Being too skinny is worse from a health perspective than being overweight. Make sure you are eating properly;y, getting the 13 essential vitamins and 15 essential minerals, fatty acids, and protein, and water you need for your body to function properly and don't worry about the number on the scale. Eat plant based foods and wild salmon.
