PMS dies – Top Foods
- Plant foods– Studies have shown that women with plant-based diets high in vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, and herbs have fewer symptoms of PMS.
- High fiber foods– PMS can cause GI disturbances, which is why it’s critical to get fiber daily.
- Green leafy vegetables– These veggies have a diuretic effect and are also a great source of calcium and magnesium, which can reduce menstrual cramps.
- Flaxseed – Helps promote healthy oestrogen metabolism.
- Wild-caught fish– foods high in omega 3 fats can help reduce pain and inflammation.
- Eating avocado can naturally balance hormones because of its nutritional profile which includes healthy fat, fiber, magnesium and potassium.
Foods to avoid that Increase PMS Symptoms
- Trans fats and hydrogenated fats.
- Any potential food allergen
- Sugar– Causes fluctuations in blood sugar that may aggravate mood swings, headaches, or difficulty concentrating. Sugar also depletes the body of critical minerals.
- Salt– Water retention during your period may be made worse by consuming a diet high in sodium.
- Caffeine– Is dehydrating and can worsen depression, anxiety, and breast tenderness.
