What is the best way to get rid of menstrual bloating?
I suppose a hysterectomy is out of the question.
And don’t even bring up pregnancy. That’s temporary and painful.
Cut back on the French fries and salty foods, since the salt makes your body retain more
fluids. While caffeine is a diuretic and thus helps you flush out extra fluids, it worsens
your irritability.
I heard that caffeine adds to anxiety, too.
So stay away from energy drinks and drink more. But don’t touch the alcohol, because
it can worsen your bad mood.
When someone says you need to drink more to ease bloating, I assumed water. Drunkenness
makes it more likely you’ll do something stupid over the snappy bad mood.
Too much sugar throws your blood sugar off.
Don’t tell me I can’t have chocolate when I have PMS! This is the only time I can pig
out on it and be guilt free!
I said too much sugar. So if you have a little throughout the day, it’s OK.
And dark chocolate is better than light chocolate.
Switch to a healthier diet with more fruits and vegetables for a long term solution.
Dark chocolate dipped bananas sound good.
And you should exercise more.
Shouldn’t we all?
That helps you fight both the emotional and physical symptoms of PMS.
I don’t even want to get off the couch.
You could start taking supplements with vitamin E, calcium and B vitamins. Your body is often
short on those vitamins if you have PMS.
Milk chocolate is rich in calcium.
So are leafy green vegetables.
I’m already in a bad mood.
So eat potassium rich foods like bananas to ease bloating.
Chocolate dipped bananas it is.
Or nuts and asparagus.
Don’t push it, Mister.
