1. Intense irritability and mood swings
2. Sadness and crying bouts
3. Poor concentration
4. Sleep disorders
5. Physiological changes including breast tenderness, headaches,
digestive problems, bloating and weakness.

These are some changes that you experience during those days. Have
you wondered about their causes?
# Hormonal changes
# Changes in the brain chemicals
# Stress
# Poor nutrition and dietary habits
# Alcohol or caffeine consumption
# A family history of depression
The home remedies I am going to mention are suggested by different
women who had experience fighting their PMS symptoms.
1. Exercise. There is no question of what exercise and for how
long. You can do any moderate exercise that you are comfortable
with for at least 30 minutes. Some women also enjoy rigorous
physical activity for 15 minutes. Cuddling up in bed is not
recommended unless advised by the doctor.
2. A healthy diet with whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables.
Low vitamins and nutrients can aggravate PMS.
3. Sugary foods, excess salt, refined foods and caffeine should be
controlled.
4. Some women find relief by eating foods rich in magnesium,
Vitamin B6 and Vitamin E.
5. If you have digestive problems, don't go hungry. Eat small,
frequent meals.
6. See if milk can make you feel better.
7. Omega 3 acids may improve your irritability and mood swings.
8. Try pineapples. Who knows, manganese in pineapples, brown rice
or raspberries may work better.
9. Sleep well for at least 8 hours at night.
10. Cultivate a habit of going out with family, friends or engage
in creative habits, go to a spa, do yoga or just about anything
that would take the stress out.
