Menstrual problem are not due to iron deficiency. I have seen this problem many times and taking iron supplements do not help.
In practice it is taking vitamin B complex or at least a softgel multiple vitamins with the b complex and also magnesium supplements which helps. The magnesium I like is actually the magnesium chloride, however, other magnesium are also suitable, such as magnesium chelate, magnesium citrate or magnesium gluconate I would likely see people take about 250 mg per day 5 days out of a week and the b complex (usually 100 mg each for B1, B2, B3, B6, except for B12 at 100 mcg for example) are taken perhaps at about every other day for a a month or so. Vitamin E also helps and ideally the menstrual flow often improves. The vitamin E is about 200-400 mg usually is about twice a week.
Taking some lime and baking soda, such as 1 whole lime and 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in 1/2 glass of once in the morning and once before sleeping often helps reduce the calcium buildup which is the problem which menstrual cycles.
Most problems of overweight is due to certain dietary habits which causes it. I would likely eat more fishes, everyday and at least avoid eating anything after 5 p.m. for food. However technically it is more like 4.30 p.m. at least that's how the body's liver cycle works since whatever that was eaten after a certain time the food gets stored as fat. While it is true that once the fats is there, it is difficult to burn. In general I would likely to concentrate on three major food groups to reduce weight, such as protein (fishes), complex carbohydrates (rice), and vegetables. Protein rich foods cause the body to burn more fat. The other important cause is sometimes lack of iodine, for one thing, certain diets in certain parts of India are rich casava diet, which displaces iodine causing hypothyroid condition, and certain parts of India, even sea food are not even eaten at all, as well as the excess use of vegetable oils, and oily foods, white flour, cheese, milk and processed food can also lead to obesity.
The reason is that certain high glycemic diets which are simple carbohydrates, such as fructose, glucose, and sucrose, usually from fruit juices can also lead to that problem also.
Alkalizing also reduces constipation and reducing the amount of time the food spends in the stomach can also reduce weight much like stomach stapling. The reason why that is so is whenever the body stores too much waste in the intestines, it also has to store excess liquids to neutralize the acidity buildup along the intestines as food ferment along the intestines, but at the same time, the body also have difficult ridding of the toxicity and leads to congested liver and sometimes fats becomes a problem that it cannot get rid of.
The key to exercise is actually the timing. Sumo wrestlers gain weight because as a rule to increase weight they had to eat, then sleep. No exercises were allowed after eating. In the U.S. decades ago when children were not obese, the schools give the children about an hour of exercise after eating. The key is that whenever food is eaten too much, the first thing a liver would do in face of eating too quickly is to store the sugar to fats as well as some other food is converted the same. To prevent that simple walking for an hour after eating should help.
In my experience most weight loss were due to just avoiding dinner and simply exercise after eating, as well as alkalizing the body to reduce excess waste in the stomach so detoxing sometimes help. Adding the portion of protein, high fiber or high volume foods with low calories (such as celery), and complex carbs without white flour and bread can help too.
