Simple tips for to help prevent PMS Symptoms
PMS (pre menstrual symptom) is when a lot of not-very-nice symptoms occur for some women, shortly before they menstruate.
Around 75% of women experience a combination of up to 150 physical and emotional symptoms, caused by hormone shifts, with symptoms sometimes lasting throughout a period. These can include:
- Cravings for food
- Affecting natural scent
- Bad mood and depression
- Changes in the brain
- Changes in the voice
- Tender breasts
- Spotty skin
- Greasy hair
- Bloating and cramps
It’s now known that the moon has nothing to do with it! But sufficient calcium and vitamin B6 can ease symptoms like cravings, fatigue and irritability.
As can regular exercise and sleep, good nutrition and plenty of rest.
- Eat healthy nutritious food. Learn to cook a few plant-based recipes!
- Get at least 150 minutes of weekly exercise (walking is fine, as is swimming, workouts or sport).
- Make quality sleep (7 to 9 hours a night) a priority (reducing or giving up alcohol and smoking will help good sleeping routines).
- Stay hydrated. Six to eight glasses of water a day is a good aim for most people. Drink two glasses before each main meal, to easily achieve this.

Join the transparent label campaign
The Transparent Label Campaign is a worldwide movement set up by US supplement company Terraseed, to demand that supplement companies list full ingredients, so people can avoid ones with gelatine, fish, collagen, creatine and magnesium stearate (mostly in vitamin D and omega 3 supplements – which cause the death of 24 billion creatures each year).
Also boycott krill supplements (you can easily get omega 3 fatty acids from nuts, seeds or algae supplements). Krill is an important food for whales, seals, penguins and fish, and removal causes by-catch of other creatures.
