PMS is something that most women are familiar with, and everyone likes to joke about. But when you're cramped up, bloated and snapping at people left and right, there's nothing funny about it. When your estrogen levels jump just before your menstrual cycle (guys, just nod and pretend like you understand) it's one of the causes of many of the unwanted side-effects associated with PMS.
Proper nutrition also plays a vital part in combating and eliminating PMS. One study found that women who took 1200 mg of calcium daily showed a 50% reduction in PMS symptoms after three months. B vitamins are another nutrient essential to fighting PMS. When there is a deficiency of B vitamins in the body, the liver's function is impaired and estrogen levels are elevated as a result.
I found this site that offers great information on foods you can eliminate to help alleviate PMS symptoms. I didn't know most of this stuff, so if you're a PMS sufferer, this is worth looking into.
