10 Sep Best days of your cycle to ride the Tilt-a-Whirl!
Next time you plan a trip to the amusement park, want to schedule a cruise or are thinking of doing any activity where you’re going to be spun around or see-sawed, consider the week you’re on in your cycle. According to a study in the journal Women’s Health Issues, you’re more susceptible to getting motion sickness during your Week 1 (when you have your period) and Week 4 (your premenstrual week) and least likely to get queasy during your Week 2 and the first half of your Week 3. As the researchers explain, it may be that a higher level of estrogen on these days enhances parts of the brain that keep you from getting dizzy when being moved around.
I'm the women's health journalist who pioneered the cycle-syncing and hormone awareness movement in 2005 with my groundbreaking, award-winning book, 28 Days: What Your Cycle Reveals About Your Moods, Health & Potential. I'm also the creator of the popular Hormone Horoscope Apps and Female Forecaster App. I founded Hormonology as a way to continue sharing hormone cycle education around the globe.
