5 Foods That Help PMS

Posted by Rich on Aug 6, 2010 in Featured, Health, Life | 0 comments

That time of the month is the bane of most women’s lives. Whilst most women just have to put up with its side effects, there are foods and drinks that can help you through your menstruation cycle – check them out…

	Days 1-5 You’re emotionally sensitive right now. Magnesium-rich chow (spinach, whole grains) and foods with omega-3 fatty acids (salmon, sardines, walnuts) will steady your nerves
	Days 6-13 Rising hormones insulate you from stress, so you’ll find it easier to eat healthfully. Now’s the time to load up on fruits and veggies.
	Days 14-17 All of your senses are heightened — including taste. Indulge in fabulous gourmet foods, such as cheese, lobster, beef, and good wine.
	Days 18-23 When progesterone peaks, the bowel slows down. High-fiber dishes like brown rice, barley, and vegetables will combat constipation while keeping your energy up.
	Days 24-28 PMS calls for comfort food, but pair your favorite carbs with protein to stabilize your blood sugar. Ice cream is your best bet — it’s sinful and satiating.
