Five Tips for Taming PMS
Here's a statement I don't think too many women will disagree with: Premenstrual syndrome, or PMS, is a little slice of hell on earth. In the five to seven days before their periods, up to 75 percent of women experience at least one ailment in the constellation of symptoms that PMS can cause — from the stereotypical cramps and moodiness to insomnia, fatigue, and nausea. One in 20 women experience premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), a serious and often disabling condition that can cause persistent depression, marked anger or irritability, and severe aches and pains.

The good news is that there are ways to tame PMS naturally. Try these five tips:

Exercise! You may not want to, but get in your workout anyway. The endorphin rush will help relieve cramps and raise your levels of serotonin, a mood-lifting neurotransmitter.

Get some R&R. Adequate sleep and less stress will put you in a better hormonal position to handle the physiological imbalance that PMS brings.

Cut out most alcohol, caffeine, and salt. Alcohol can exacerbate feelings of depression, so steer clear. Reducing caffeine may minimize breast tenderness and irritability, and cutting salt can reduce bloat.

Minimize simple sugars. Ideally, you're doing this all the time, but it's especially important before your period. Simple sugars may increase inflammation, making cramps worse. Eating regular meals and snacks with fiber and protein will help keep your blood sugar stable, which is a lot better for those raw nerves than blood-sugar swings.

Consider supplements. Calcium may reduce symptoms of PMS, so shoot for at least 1,200 mg a day. Magnesium is also helpful, as are B complex vitamins. To reduce the inflammation of cramps and breast tenderness, try a primrose-oil supplement; it's a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that may work in ways similar to ibuprofen

PERIOD: pwd cya... i do taekwondo kasi, kapag mayroon ako my instructor let me do sa light exercises, but dont encourage me to do any heavy kicking and fighting... kasi nga daw bumababa ang matress ng gurl... but some still say na hwg mag practise kapag mayroon, kasi body contact ang sport..

PUyat: dont think so...  kasi parang walang kang energy and baka ma off balance kapg ng exercise pa...

I don't recommend working out when you lack sleep. Baka magkasakit ka lang.
I work out din when I have my period, but lesser yung effort kasi nga kakatamad gumalaw pag may period. hehe.

[buddybuilders]

I read that working out can be beneficial to you on your period because it helps you with your cramps and that feeling of being "blah".

Most of us would rather lie down and do nothing, but all we need to do is get a little bit more motivated during those days and hit the gym. As they say, don't let your period get you down.

Lack of rest isn't beneficial for muscle growth since it's during rest periods that they recover. Though I personally still go after just 4 hours of sleep, i make it a point to make up for lost rest afterwards...or I catch up on rest and go when i've had enough.

[telekikay]

lack of sleep - i go for higher reps instead.

Ok lang kung may period.

[kiz_me1109]

If you have period, yes ok lang. Ako, I still dance kahit na meron ako. Yun nga lang medo uneasy. Luck of sleep siguro mahirap. Kasi baka mahilo ka. hehe

i'll disagree about not lifting weights when you have your period -- it doesn't affect your reproductive system. however, we girls tend to be weaker during the time right before our period, the first day, and a couple of days after. but pwedeng pwede pa rin magexercise.

pag puyat, i'd suggest to stick to exercise that doesn't require as much coordination and intensity. best case would still be wag magpuyat though.

Agree ako dyan! I lift even when I have, causes no probs naman. True din that you're weaker, now that I'm older feel ko talaga I have less energy when I have, talagang low batt. So while you're young mga sis don't be afraid to workout. What I dont like doing when I have are leg raises, back extensions and squats kasi feel ko yan sa puson ko, so avoid any moves that are uncomfortable for you but keep up with your exercises basta kaya niyo naman to do them.

[babyjapnurse01]

Okay lang to exercise while you have your period, however, I believe yung lifting should be done in moderation, dapat not too much exertion, not that it would affect the repro system in general but since you are shedding some layers off your uterus, you can actually cause more bleeding if you exert too much.
