CosmicChars+FollowWhy Teaching Boys About Periods Matters for EveryoneShould boys learn about periods? Absolutely. I remember the first time my son asked me about the pads in our bathroom cabinet. Instead of brushing it off, I took a deep breath and explained what periods are and why they’re a normal part of life. His curiosity was genuine, and our conversation was open and honest. I realized that by teaching him early, I was helping to break the stigma and build empathy. When boys understand periods, they grow into men who support and respect the women in their lives. Let’s raise a generation that’s informed and compassionate. What are your thoughts? Have you had a similar conversation at home?

Danielle French+FollowHealthy Eats = Later Periods?Turns out, what you eat as a kid could actually delay when you get your first period! A new study found that girls with healthier diets started menstruating later, which might lower their risk for things like diabetes and breast cancer down the line. And get this: it’s not just about weight or height—diet really matters. Makes you think twice about what’s on the school lunch menu, right? #HealthNews #WomensHealth #Nutrition #PeriodTalk #HealthyKids #Health10Share
Dr. Ryan Newton+FollowDo Our Periods Really Change How We Work Out?Ever wondered if your period actually messes with your workout routine? Researchers just dropped some tea from the Apple Women’s Health Study: After tracking over 22 million workouts, they found most people stick to their usual exercise (think walking, cycling, yoga) no matter what phase of their cycle they’re in. The difference in workout time between phases is tiny! Bottom line: Just find a workout you love and keep moving—your hormones will thank you. #WomensHealth #AppleResearch #FitnessFacts #PeriodTalk #MoveYourWay #Health30Share
