?When a woman has PMS, it?s like she?s in an altered state,? reports Dr. Susan Thys-Jacobs, Endocrinologist.
For approximately 40 million U.S. women, PMS is regular influence on their physical and psychological well-being. Recent studies have found that over 70 percent of relationships are affected to some extent by PMS. So PMS impacts nearly everyone, including men!
Here are a few simple steps you can take either as a sufferer ? or as a supportive friend ? to help:
Take it easy on your roommate (or your friend?s roommate). When a group of women work or live together, their menstrual cycles begin to coincide, and so do their PMS symptoms. ?Synchronous menstruation,? as this phenomenon is known, was first described in 1971 by researcher Martha McClintock, now with the University of Chicago. Synchronous menstruation has been observed among mothers, sisters, and daughters who live together, and sometimes among women who simply work together.
Watch what you eat/drink. Certain foods and drugs can trigger the effects of PMS like sugar, caffeine, alcohol, salt, and smoking.
Stock up the fridge. Many women turn to over-the-counter pain remedies alone to ease the symptoms of PMS. But, a study published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology found that diets rich in high calcium foods, like MILK, cut the physical and emotional symptoms of PMS in half.
Drink your MILK! Another study conducted by the US Department of Agriculture?s Human Nutrition Research Center, found that women on the high calcium diet were less irritable, weepy, and depressed. Plus they avoided backaches, cramping and bloating.
Increase your protein. Carbohydrate dense diets have been linked to an increase in PMS symptoms. High protein and calcium-rich foods, however, have been shown to help alleviate them. With 9 grams of protein ? and 300 mgs of calcium ? an 8-ounce glass of nonfat MILK turns out to be the ideal PMS food.
Spinach anyone? You?d have to eat 15? cups of spinach to get the same amount of calcium found in one, 8-ounce glass of MILK.
Exercise too! A well balanced diet full of calcium-rich, low fat foods, like nonfat milk and yogurt ? coupled with daily exercise ? has been shown to significantly reduce the symptoms of PMS. Physical activity rids the body of excess water, improves circulation, and helps reduce stress.
Lactose Intolerant? For those who?ve been diagnosed with lactose intolerance, lactose-free MILK are available in supermarkets. Lactose-free milks have all the same nutrients as regular MILK.
