Female Athlete Triad!!!🧘♀️🪷✨
On this International Women's Day, let's shed light on the 💫Female Athlete Triad✨, a combo of 3 interrelated conditions seen in women involved in sports and fitness.
1️⃣Energy Deficiency:
Many women may not realize they're not consuming enough calories to fuel their activity levels. It's crucial to nourish your body adequately to support your performance and overall health.
2️⃣Menstrual Irregularities:
Disrupted menstrual cycles or amenorrhea (absence of menstruation) can be a sign that your body is under stress from intense exercise or inadequate nutrition.
3️⃣Bone Health:
Insufficient energy intake weaken bones, increasing the risk of stress fractures and osteoporosis over time. Prioritize calcium-rich foods, vitamin D, and strength training.
Prioritize nutrition, monitor menstrual health, manage your stress levels by meditation/yoga, incorporate rest, recovery and strength training!🥗🧘♀️🪷Together, we can manage the Female Athlete Triad and promote holistic well-being.💪
Happy International Women's Day!☺️💜
