I heard that if you work out and exercise a lot that your periods are shorter and you don't get as many cramps. I just started to exercise last week but my period is the same this month. Well, I'm just curious if the stuff I read is true and if I should expect my periods to get better in a month or two.
Does exercising regularly cause you periods to be shorter and go by quicker? And is it safe to exercise while I'm on my period too?

Eliminate fatty red meats and full-fat dairy, as these foods contain arachadonic acids that contribute to cramping. :)
