Question by steph lizzy and beth :): Okay so I'm trying to lose weight :)?
so ive noticed that i have a little lump of belly fat that really is not attractive in a bikini :/ and my goal is by the end of the summer ill be rid of it. i am 13 years old going into high school, 5'5", and i weigh 118. can you help me?
diet: i have been a vegetarian for about six months now so no worries about fattening things like bacon. i eat a lot of nuts and beans for protein, i drink a couple glasses/bottles of water a day, i keep dairy and egg consumption to a minimum [though i do eat yogurt occasionally], i eat salad often and im eating more fruits, i drink cranberry juice often... i do eat too many bread products, though i have been shifting to majority whole grain, another problem area is i eat too many desserts and snack products. it seems like im always hungry though so i think a big issue is simply eating too much. what are some really healthy and filling items? and also what are some relatively healthy desserts? i want to stray from chocolate chip cookies and ice cream
exercise: during the school year i dance roughly 9 hours a week, but since its summer my classes have been reduced to 4 hours a week. so ive been running on the elliptical for 30 minutes a day in addition and im thinking about maybe upping it to about an hour a day. i joined the ymca recently and my family and i have been swimming there. i also want to take spinning classes and yoga. is there anything else i can do in addition that will help with abs specifically?
if im doing anything wrong please let me know thank you SO much for any answers

End period pains naturally

Younger women are often affected by period pains. However, this does not mean that older women do not experience menstrual cramps as well. Teenagers who develop periods for the first time will not usually have pain associated with this. After a few years though, the teenager will begin to experience pain during her period. When she has period pains it normally means that menstruation is taking place, and this indicates that ovulation is present. Ovulation is when the egg is released from the ovary during the menstrual cycle.
Medically speaking the term for period pains is dysmenorrhea, and it is evident as excessive uterine muscle contractions take place. It is possible that women will experience other conditions that cause painful periods and these include endometriosis, fibroids and infection of the ovaries or tubes.
Most women of child-bearing age have been found to be lacking in the mineral magnesium. Magnesium is very important in aiding the body to make muscles function correctly. Any women who experience period pains or any of the above conditions should get to a gynecologist as soon as possible so that a firm diagnosis can be made. More often than not, there is no cause for the menstrual cramps and thankfully, they normally only last for a maximum of two days. Symptoms of period pains are usually cramp like sensations in the lower abdomen. There many even be aches and pains in the legs or the lower back. In some severe cases, women might even become giddy, vomit, develop nausea and even faint. This is due to the chemical changes that take place in the body at this time. Other symptoms of period pains include tender breasts, moodiness, depression and irritability.
Women who suffer from period pains should have a blood test to ascertain the level of magnesium in the body. In some cases, women become anemic during the menstrual period, and they might need to be prescribed an iron supplement. Anemia has it is own set of problems and not least of all fatigue. It is important to address this problem as the symptoms and consequences of anemia are not at all pleasant.
Sometimes exercise can help to alleviate period pains as it helps to "bring on" the period. As the pain can be quite intense, it may be necessary to engage in only mild exercise such as going for a brisk walk. Yoga is another very helpful exercise during this time. Applying a hot-water bottle can also help to soothe the symptoms of period pains.
Dietary changes can also help to alleviate period pains. Eating a healthy balanced diet can help with adjusting the hormones in the body. This would include reducing the intake of fatty foods and eating vegetables and fruit regularly. By doing this, women are able to aid with hormonal metabolism and this could result in fewer hormonal swings during the menstrual period.
Essential fatty acids which are found in fish oils are helpful as they have anti-inflammatory properties and this helps to dull pain.
In terms of diet, make sure that you eat lentils, peas, beans, seeds, nuts, and green vegetables. Stay away from biscuits, sweets, cake and sugar as all of these are really low in minerals. Natural iron supplementation is possible by eating enough seeds, nuts, chicken, fish and red meat.
Use magnesium to control hormonal and muscle function in the body. Research has revealed that magnesium can be beneficial in the war against period pains. You will be able to purchase minerals via the Internet, and this is convenient for people. Make sure that you purchase quality ionic magnesium as it works much better than magnesium in tablet form.
