I was reading self..and there are two things that I want to put in here that are in of great importance to wemon/teen
Girls if you have trouble with pms then try this.
symptoms of pms: which ones do you have:
anxiety
bloating
brest pain
cramps
depression
fatigue
food cravings
headaches
irritability
Now try keeping a log when your on your period of what symptoms shown up above you have
if you have:
anxiety, cramps, deppression, fatigue, irritability
Your cure: Try working out, this will help the woman with mild anxiety or deppression. Studies have shown women who regularly get a move on have fewer, less intense pms symptoms across the board. Try not to blow off the gym before your period, when your body's jonesing for a pick me up.
if you have: anxiety, Bloating< brestpain
your cure: Try calcium, several stuides have shown that this bone-building mineral can temper a premenstrual maelstrom. Some wemon who have pms essentially have a calcium and vitamin D deficiency. The reason for calcium helping your symptoms, well just as your hormones rise and fall so do your mineral levels. When calcium is low, muscle and nerve fibers may not function moodiness. But taking a daily supplement can smooth those ups and downs.
-If you have: Bloating, breast pain, depression, irritability
your cure: the pill (heads up dont get a generic brand)
-If you have: deppression, food cravings
your cure: try healthy carbs, instead of satifing your craving with bread, chocolate, candy..try eating some fruit or popcorn, whole-wheat crackers or nuts. Because such healthy carbs take longer to digest they help keep your blood sugar on an even keel (go easy on the salt which can make bloating worse)
