Answer:
Human bodies constantly receive and send <u>important</u> information
The reproductive cycle in females is regulated primarily by HER HORMONES. Five hormones to be exact. These hormones are Estrogen, Progesterone, Luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), and gonadotropin releasing hormone.
Estrogen is from the ovaries. It helps regulate the menstrual cycle. It promotes the rapid growth of cell linings in the uterus to prepare for implantation resulting to pregnancy.
Progesterone is also from the ovaries. It is produced after ovulation and maintains the health of the lining within the uterus during pregnancy. If no pregnancy occurs, the progesterone level decrease and results to menses or monthly period.
Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone is secreted by the brain as a result of the hormonal changes that occur every month. It in turn stimulates the production of FSH and LH.
FSH stimulates the follicles inside the ovaries increase the amount of estrogen and progesterone produced in the first two weeks of the menstrual cycle.
The increase in estrogen level by FSH prompts the pituitary glands to release LH. Luteinizing hormone then signals the dominant follicle, made by FSH inside the ovaries, to release its eggs for possible fertilization.
Answer:
IN OLDEN TIMES:
A girl, when she reaches puberty is barred from entering the prayer room or performing any religious prayers during her menstruation. The only reason mentioned in our scriptures is that she is (ashudha) unclean during that period.
During ancient days, women would take bath in the river, pond or near the well. During the time when the girl would be menstruating, it would be awkward to bathe outside in the river as it would probably ‘pollute’ the water.
So, the ladies did not take bath. Since the ladies did not take bath, they were naturally termed ‘unclean’ during that time. Hence, their being barred from the clean’ places in the house, namely the prayer room or the kitchen.
However, Science has a different meaning for the menstruation. As per science, a woman is more irritable during those days because of a hormonal imbalance. Psychics claim that there is a different aura around a menstruating woman, maybe again a chemical reaction.
Segregating to pray requires a positive attitude and people tend to respond to the negative virations of a person standing with you; maybe that was the reason why a woman was barred from public places and the kitchen.
TODAY:
Times have changed,
It is the old saying of old people. But of a girl cooks during periods then it is not to become bad in taste or it won't get spoiled. The taste of food is going to be same as she cooks on other days. So I think this saying is wrong and girls can cook during their mensuratl days. It is a natural cycle and they r not responsible for it
