Goosebump- I always thought I was healthy because I ran, maintained a healthy weight and ate low calories, but it never occurred to me how important minerals and vitamins were and since I've been focusing on that and not my calories my skin has been glowing and my breasts have a firmness I've never had before! So yes, I'm so glad you agree! And as for the water retention I have not found a permanent solution! :/ when I first used natural progesterone cream it was all GONE. I've never liked myself so much as I did that day lol. But progesterone cream started doing the reverse for me and had painful stomach bloating! I now wonder if it was just too much or if it was actually helping my uterus. However, I'm scared to try the natural progesterone cream again because a friend I talk to on here had problems with it and told me some problems it can cause to the lover, it may say natural but they do have to concert wild yams to progesterone in a lab which sounds kinda scary, but probably the best option if you're really low on it. You're hormone levels and water and sodium intake play a role in water retention. Get those hormones balanced with herbs like maca root, ginseng, vitex etc. but figure out which sounds best because they all have their own fun effects lol
lower sodium,mention increase water, sweat a lot! Running helps me, and a water and fruit day cleans you out. This helped me a lot I plan on doing it once a week not to mention more energy then ever! Weird huh? But majority of it is diet and balanced hormones. My retention has been bad but it's been 126 degrees so I'm not too worried.
Stephanie Nicole- I don't because during this time your hormones are reducing and balancing out and I don't like messing with my body during this time. Some women do, and they're fine, but my body is super sensitive and it's more uncomfortable for me, especially maca root blah, bad cramps! Lol but I don't take much to begin with, I take royal jelly every day though. This has given me amazing fast results. And same for other women too.
