When women say that they have PMS, it means that they feel ugly, fat, tired and bloated. PMS or Premenstrual Syndrome is a disorder characterized by hormonal changes that cause disruptive symptoms for up to two weeks before menstruation. While there is no need for medication, some women require medical treatment for marked mood swings and behavioral changes. These symptoms regularly occur from ovulation until menses.
How to Avoid Having PMS
1. Excercise. It helps boost the endorphins which are the body's natural painkillers. They may help cramped feeling.
2. Avoid sweets and eat six small meals at regular three-hour intervals, high in complex carbohydrates and low in simple sugars. This helps to maintain a steady blood glucose level and avoid energy highs and lows.
3. Reduce and eliminate use of caffeine, alcohol, salt, fats, and simple sugars to reduce bloating, fatigue, tension and depression.
4.Daily supplemental vitamins and minerals may be administered to relieve some PMS symptoms.
1. A multivitamin with B6(100 mcg)
2. B complex, magnesium (300mg)
3. Vitamin E (400 IU) and
4. vitamin C (1000 mg)
These vitamins alleviate irritability, fluid retention, joint aches, breast tenderness, anxiety, depression and fatigue.
