Foods to Help with PMS Symptoms

PMS is a part of life, and in most cases it’s not something that women can avoid, but 
you might be interested to find that there are some dietary choices that you can make to 
help gain some amounts of relief. Here is a list of some healthy foods that can have a 
positive impact on your PMS symptoms. 

Eggs

When you’re planning for your meals to help you cope with PMS, it’s good to always be 
ready to have great balanced meal first thing in the morning. This usually means that 
you want to have something high in good fats for your body, along with some form of 
easy to digest proteins.  
One of the best ways to do this is to have some eggs. You can have a very simple 
breakfast with your favorite cottage cheese, a couple of eggs any way you like them, 
and some kind of lean sliced meat.  Just a few slices will do as you get your days 
started off right!

Bananas

If you’ve been having trouble sleeping, there’s no need to worry too much, cause 
difficulty sleeping is a common product of PMS. Researchers have discovered that lack 
of sleep may heighten the amount of pain experienced by PMS sufferers because 
studies showed reduced pain tolerance in women who sleep less than in their normal 
rest periods. Science has uncovered that bananas can contain high levels of a very 
natural form of melatonin. That means that you can eat bananas right out of the peel, or 
use them in a meal replacement shake to get a healthy dose of what you need to get 
better rest at night. 

Salmon 

Sometimes, an approaching period can also introduce some feelings of depression or 
anxiety. One of the best things that you can do for yourself during such a time would be 
to up your intake of sources of omega 3 fatty acids. Fish like salmon are always a great 
source of these helpful agents, and they have been known to help reduce the amount of 
stress hormones in the body. It’s also important to note that if you ingest any 
substances that are classified as depressants like alcohol, then you are not doing 
yourself any favors. 

Broccoli

While it might seem like a bad idea to remedy bloating with high fiber foods, it could 
actually be a great tool in helping your body to rid itself of gas-causing food remnants. 
These foods sweep the intestines and give them relief.
