How can I take better care of myself?

To take better care of yourself, friend, especially now that your body is changing so much, you can start by paying attention to a few things in your daily life. Like, what you eat and drink, how you sleep, and how you move.

Food and drink are fuel

Look, our body is growing super fast, right? And it needs good fuel for that. Eating things that give you energy, like fruits, vegetables, and sustaining foods, makes a huge difference. And drinking plenty of water is also very important for everything to work properly, even to make cramps less annoying.

Movement and sleep

Moving is super good for your body and mind! You don't need to be an athlete, but going for a walk, dancing, jumping rope, anything you enjoy already helps. And sleeping well? Wow, it's the best thing. Trying to go to bed around the same time every day and having a peaceful sleep helps your body recover and deal better with all the changes that are happening.

Paying attention to yourself

This whole "taking care of yourself" thing is also about noticing how you feel, you know? If you're stressed, sad, tired, or having a lot of cramps. Understanding what your body is telling you helps you know what you need. The Sosô app has a place for you to record your mood, energy levels, and even your cramps. That way, you start to see what's normal for you and what usually changes during each phase of your cycle. It's really cool for getting to know yourself better!
