Eat More Leafy Greens To Reduce PMS Symptoms

Eat More Leafy Greens To Reduce PMS Symptoms
by News Canada

notes Sam Graci, nutritional researcher and author of the new book - The Food
Connection: The Right Food at the Right Time. Stay away from dairy products and
meats that are high in saturated fats, as well as caffeinated beverages, which raise
the blood levels of estrogen and cause headaches, irritability and anxiety.

To help reduce symptoms of PMS and balance estrogen levels, eat at least two to
three servings of colourful fruit and a large leafy green salad, along with whole grains
such as oatmeal or seven-grain cereal. These foods are high in fibre, which helps keep
estrogen levels balanced. In addition, start each day with a nutritional supplement
such as greens+™, a balanced formula of 23 vitamins, minerals, organic and nutrient-
rich foods. One serving of greens+ is the equivalent of six organic salads. The
nutritional supplement also packs plenty of natural soy ingredients, which contain
phytoestrogens to keep estrogen levels balanced.

In addition to fibre and soy, eat plenty of "good" fats - Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acids
(EFA). Fish such as salmon or tuna are the best source of these EFAs, which are said
to help reduce headaches, irritability and anxiety.

(NC)-Eating foods that are high
in sugar and saturated fats, along
with too much caffeine and
alcohol can trigger premenstrual
syndrome (PMS) in many
women. PMS is controlled by the
hormone estrogen - too much or
too little causes moods to
fluctuate, depression, anxiety,
food cravings and bloating about
a week before a period begins.

To help keep estrogen levels
balanced, avoid cravings for
sweet and salty foods since they
will magnify PMS symptoms,
