Ma’am, your organs are shutting down.

This is so sad

How is not having a period healthy? Lol went through boot camp and because of the stress, lack of sleep, and change of diet, half of the females didn’t have period. So I guess that’s healthy too huh

The terrifying thing is this is a sentiment shared by a girl known as Freelee The Banana Girl. She had 738,000+ subscribers on youtube. People listen to her because she is thin and attractive. She told 730k people, mostly women and girls, that losing your period is preferred because periods are a sign of toxins in your blood.

“I still believe that, largely, menstruation is toxicity leaving the body,” she explains in her controversial video, which saw heavy criticism from some viewers and eating disorder charity Beat. “So a lot of people are having these heavy, heavy periods and painful periods because they have a toxic body or have a toxic diet.”

No fucking joke. She tells women if they are having heavy periods they should start a “100%high carb raw vegan diet as soon as possible”. This video had 350k+ views as of May of this year.

I’m so tired of “fitness experts” posting videos and FB posts that give outrightly wrong information and encourage women and girls to develop socially acceptable eating disorders.

“But periods aren’t stimatized at all”

And why does she talk like a fucking cave man

Jesus fucking Christ she should be arrested can you arrested for giving out terrible, life-ending advice?? If your body isn’t menstruating and it’s supposed to?? Something’s WRONG.

Even dedicated athletes know that missing your period because of an extreme exercise schedule should be a temporary event. It’s a sign of starvation and stress. 1 or 2 missed periods from heavy exercise is the signal to the athlete that it’s time to nourish and destress the body. Pushing further than that eventually results in actual damage to your body and possibly death. 

Eat food kids. Periods are as normal as breathing.

Menstruation happens because your body sheds the lining of the uterus once a month to get rid of unfertilized eggs and any eggs that were fertilized but failed to attach well enough to grow into a healthy fetus. 

The only reason you shouldn’t be having periods is if your body isn’t releasing eggs. I don’t because I’m on birth control specifically to prevent periods. This is a perfectly healthy thing to do if you need to prevent periods due to health reasons, or, heck, just if you don’t want them any more and don’t have any notable side effects from the birth control.

There is NO other healthy circumstance under which you should not be having periods, unless you’re past menopause, do not have ovaries and/or a uterus, or are pregnant. A few health conditions can also cause it. Very rarely, someone with a uterus simply won’t have periods because of an odd, harmless body quirk of one sort or another, but your period stopping without a direct cause is a significant sign for concern. One missed period could be a sign of stress, overexertion, or a weird hormone quirk, and may not be cause for concern but means that you should think hard about what you’ve been doing lately. Two or more is a Problem.

Heavy, painful periods are caused by health issues. Endometriosis is a big one, but there are many other illnesses. None of them are caused by a poor diet. You can eat nothing but candy and fast food and it will do nothing to your period unless you’re malnourished. Heck, outright being poisoned won’t affect your period unless your organs start to shut down.
