Lyla Feldman asked: If you are a part of the female population, you will most likely be able to relate to this article. For most of us, our period comes once a month with symptoms starting about a week or two before. They can include water retention, bloating, tender breasts, moodiness, insomnia, abdominal pains, and headaches. If you are one of the lucky ones, you will only see a few of these or perhaps none at all. Let’s explore some of the natural ways we can relieve some of those most pleasant situations during that time of the month. PMS was thought to be caused by a biochemical hormonal imbalance, but we now know that it is caused by excess estrogen with a corresponding deficiency of progesterone. A poor diet has been said to add to these symptoms. By eliminating all junk food, as well as stimulants (coffee, tea, alcohol, chocolate and refined sugar), you may be able to notice some relief. A proper diet should include an abundance of healthy animal fats, complex carbohydrates and a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables. Certain foods help relieve common symptoms and they just happen to be very healthy as an added bonus. A few include: brown rice, wheat germ, broccoli, bananas, tuna, whole wheat, cabbage, chamomile tea, almonds, salmon, egg yolks, lentils, evening primrose oil. To help depression and violent mood swings, lavender and peppermint are also very useful. Avoid both liquid and partially hydrated vegetable oils, as they interfere with hormone production. Consume foods rich in vitamin A, D, E, and B complex, calcium, magnesium, and some fatty acids. It’s important to use a natural source of vitamin A, such as cod liver oil as artificial alternatives can be harmful. B6 is a natural diuretic which helps with bloating related to premenstrual syndrome and helps regulate estrogen levels. (…)
