PMS are caused by hormonal changes during menstruation cycle, so there are normal. The severe PMS symptoms can interfere one's daily activities and quality of life and require medical intervention. However there are no good medical treatments for PMS, however dietary therapy can be effective in alleviating the symptoms.
Many women who experience moderate or severe menstruation symptoms have hormonal imbalance, which can cause the below signs and symptoms:
- Irregular cycle length and irregular bleeds
- Excessive menstrual cramps
- Mood swings
- Anovulation (with or without bleeding cycle)
- Hormonal acne
- Hot flashes
- Headache
- Food craving
- Breast tenderness and swelling
- Temperate weight gain
It is important to know hormones are tightly regulated in the body through signalling of the nervous system, as well as from feedback loops. Stress and emotions can cause hormone imbalance.
Many hormone glands are influenced by changes in routine. Maintaining consistency can help reduce hormone fluctuations.
The body relies on nutrients to synthesize hormones such as:
- Adequate carbohydrate intake for energy
- Adequate protein intake to ensure enough amino acids are present in the body
- Adequate mineral and vitamin intake for support hormone synthesis
Regular routine and nourishing meals are key for supporting hormone health.
