The Best Foods To Eat While PMSing

Red Meat

Increased iron intake can significantly decrease PMS-related symptoms, so bring on the red meat. According to a study by theUniversity of Massachusetts, it wasdiscovered thatwomen in the highest 20% of iron intake were approximately 40% less likely to suffer PMS as those in the lowest 20% of iron intake. "A diet high in iron helps avoid anemia and symptoms that can go along with it," said Dr. Sharon R. Thompson of Central Phoenix Obstetrics and Gynecology. "Women who eat red meat will be able to get sufficient iron from food." It is important to top up your iron levels during your period. If you do not eat meat, Dr. Thompson suggests a supplement in order to maintain adequate iron stores.
