Nutrition has been shown to play a significant role in relieving PMS symptoms. Be sure your diet is rich in these vitamins and minerals:
- Vitamin E to reduce moodiness and breast tenderness
- Vitamin C to fight stress
- Beta-carotene to help clear premenstrual acne and oily skin
- B complex to improve fatigue, irritability and emotional stress
- Magnesium to help control sugar cravings, stabilize moods and relieve muscular contractions
- Essential fatty acids (EFAs) such as flaxseed oil and fish oils to help regulate periods and to prevent cramps
