Muscles in the Human Body. Muscles are how we move and live. All movement in the body is controlled by muscles. Some muscles work without us thinking, like our heart beating, while other muscles are controlled by our thoughts and allow us to do stuff and move around.
Cramping and Breast Tenderness. Cramping is one of the most common symptoms a woman experiences before, during or after her menstrual cycle. Caffeine contributes to cramps because of its diuretic nature--it increases urine production and promotes dehydration. In addition, coffee contains oils that may inflame your intestines and cause cramping.
Using a heating pad to fight those monthly cramps will relieve some of your menstrual pain and will help you to function better during this tough week. 1  Use an electrical heating pad. They heat up quickly and they often come with at least three heat settings so that you can choose between low, medium or high heat. Apply a microwavable heating pad as an alternative to an electrical heating pad.
