Diet to Reduce PMS Symptoms

Posted by admin on July 1, 2012 in Guest Posts with 1 Comment


PMS or Premenstrual Syndrome is often the subject matter of a lively and sometimes funny discussion for teens over a cup of coffee. PMS is however not a funny thing and people with PMS symptoms often have to miss work and other important activities owing to PMS symptoms. PMS symptoms reportedly seem to bother almost 10% women.

Though PMS symptoms seem to bother a big chunk of the population, science has so far been not able to cure PMS symptoms with the twist and turn of a magic wand – at least not all symptoms at the same shot. If you are desperately looking for help to get rid of PMS symptoms, you should probably check out the local grocery store. That will probably solve problems better than a chemist.

#Habit 1

The golden rule is to cut out on high sugar content food. Eat low glycemic value food to get rid of the pain associated with PMS symptoms. Whole grains and fresh produce ensure that there is no surge in sugar levels.  High glycemic value foods have a tendency to bring about fluctuations in blood sugar levels. So, lower the blood sugar levels lower are the PMS symptoms.

#Habit 2

More of calcium and vitamins can contribute towards reducing PMS symptoms. It has been clinically proven that vitamin D and calcium have a positive role in bringing down PMS symptoms. It is however always advisable to consult your doctor before you start taking supplements. You can also take more of sun and dairy products to minimize PMS symptoms and maximize vitamins and calcium.

#Habit 3

One of the major aspects of PMS symptoms is bloating. Avoid sodium salt intake to avoid that.

#Habit 4

If you are suffering from PMS symptoms, you have to be prepared to sacrifice on a lot of things. Caffeine is one such thing. Though caffeine has not been proven to be a culprit by medical science, many women suffering from PMS symptoms have complained that more of caffeine seemed to aggravate PMS symptoms. Evidence can be witnessed by you also. Just cut out on caffeine- laden foods from the week prior to your menses and see for yourself the reduction in PMS symptoms.


#Habit 5

Alcohol seems to be a culprit that contributes towards a number of diseases. Well, if you want to cut out on PMS symptoms, then cut out alcohol as well.

#Habit 6

Nuts, black beans, cooked spinach…well; this is not the list of food items that you would prefer to avoid, but the one that can considerably reduce PMS symptoms. It has been proven medically that magnesium rich diets can considerably bring down PMS symptoms and these are some of the food items rich in magnesium content.

#Habit 7

Eat less and eat often. This has a big contribution towards reducing PMS symptoms. If you take six meals instead of three, you can not only bring down the chances of surges in blood sugar level but also monitor as to what food item causes more discomfort.
