Do you know almost 85% of women go through at least one symptom of PMS (premenstrual syndrome)? PMS is a term that describes the emotional and physical changes that millions of women experience before their period.
The exact causes for these changes are not yet known by experts, but recent studies suggest that it might be related to an enhanced sensitivity to the hormone allopregnanolone.
Fortunately, there are options available for women suffering from PMS and some of them are discussed below.
* Exercise: Incorporate exercise into your daily routine. Engage in cycling, brisk walking, swimming or such other aerobic activity for at least 30 minutes every day. Regular exercise will help improve your overall well-being and alleviate PMS symptoms like, depression and fatigue.
* Diet: A diet including foods rich in calcium and complex carbohydrates like, vegetables, fruits and whole grains is recommended to women going through PMS. Also, you must make it your habit to eat smaller, but frequently to reduce bloating. You must restrict alcohol and caffeine intake.
* Stress management: PMS symptoms of mood swings, irritation and anxiety can be controlled by managing stress. For that, you need to get plenty of sleep, practice deep-breathing exercises or yoga, get therapeutic massages and so on.
* Join a support group: This may sound absurd, but there is evidence suggesting that joining a support group, where there are other women trying to fight PMS symptoms might actually help to enhance the effect of the other treatments that you are using.
