To end PMS it is advisable to include solutions such as taking the birth control pill prescribed by the gynecologist normally, but in addition there are some strategies such as diet, physical exercise and strategies that increase well-being.
Here's what you can do to combat the main symptoms of PMS:
1. How to Relieve Irritation
To relieve irritation in PMS, passion fruit juice, as well as chamomile, valerian or St. John's wort tea are great options, as they have soothing and anxiolytic properties. To do this, just drink the passion fruit juice daily and drink one of the teas at the end of the day or before bedtime also every day, 10 days before menstruation.
2. How to reduce Hunger
Pear, plum, papaya and oats are sweet but healthy foods, rich in fiber that increase the feeling of satiety, decreasing appetite and, therefore, should be consumed in the days before menstruation.
3. How to Relieve Bad Mood
To relieve the bad mood in PMS, a good solution is to eat 1 dark chocolate bonbon once a day, because the chocolate helps to release serotonin, which is a hormone responsible for well-being.
4. How to Relieve Menstrual Colic
To relieve menstrual cramps in PMS, a great tip is to eat 50 g of pumpkin seeds every day, as these seeds are rich in magnesium, decreasing muscle contraction and, consequently, menstrual cramps. Another tip is to drink agnocasto tea, as it has anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic and hormonal regulating action.
In addition, drinking chamomile or turmeric tea daily throughout the month, as well as eating black beans also helps to relieve PMS symptoms, because these foods contain substances that regulate the hormonal cycle.
