A member asked:
I'm on iron pills, have my period and feel a bit faint..is it safe to do light excersize in this scenario?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hydration: Make sure you drink enough water and dehydration is not the cause of your feeling faint. You may exercise. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco or alcohol in any form. Practice safe sex.
