Decision fatigue: Why making so many decisions could be harming our health?

ByAnna + Em

Stay in bed or get up and run? Eggs or oats? Cardio or weights? Peanut butter or Vegemite?  Tea or coffee? Potato chips or chocolate (JK – obviously, both!)? Netflix or Stan?

Irregular or heavy, painful periods can be a sign that it is not.
