Heavy bleeding, more pain and mood swings especially in winter – not a normal condition but need attention….

A healthy diet and balanced vitamins in the body play a major role in regulating hormones resulting in regular periods in women. If periods are hard to pass during the winter season, this is not a problem for any individuals but the majority of women face these problems during the menstrual cycle. 

From unbearable pain to mood swings, one has to deal with everything these days. Women notice these changes, but very few people know the reason for this. Actually, the biggest reason behind these problems is the lack of vitamin D.

You have noticed about the day length in the winter season, the days become shorter and the nights longer, so we are less exposed to sunlight and as you know that the Sun is the biggest source of Vitamin D. 

Experts say that during periods, a hormone-like substance called prostaglandin is produced in the body, due to which women feel a lot of pain. Vitamin D helps reduce the production of this substance, which gives relief to women in pain.
