Menstrual flow varies significantly among individuals due to a plethora of factors including genetics, hormonal balance, lifestyle choices, and dietary habits. The menstrual cycle is an intricate process regulated by hormones such as estrogen and progesterone, which orchestrate the cyclical shedding of the uterine lining.

The relationship between exercise and stress reduction is well-documented. Physical activities reduce stress primarily by triggering the release of endorphins—often referred to as the body's natural painkillers. These neurochemicals interact with brain receptors to diminish the perception of pain and induce feelings of euphoria, commonly known as the "runner's high." Furthermore, exercise serves as a distraction, allowing individuals to find some quiet time to break out of the cycle of negative thoughts that feed stress. It also enhances cardiovascular health, which improves the body's ability to respond to stressors. The rhythmic physical activity acts as a form of meditation, focusing the mind away from daily concerns. Moreover, exercise reduces levels of the body's stress hormones, such as adrenaline and cortisol. This physiological shift not only mitigates immediate stress responses but also enhances the body's overall resilience to stressors over time. Regular exercise is linked to improvements in sleep quality, which is often compromised by stress and anxiety, further solidifying the cycle of stress reduction.
