PMS – and how you can beat it!

• Never skip meals. To maintain your blood sugar levels, it is better to eat small amounts more often.
• Eat two snacks per day in addition to your usual three meals.
• Eat protein at both lunch and supper.
• Reduce fat and sugar consumption.
• Drink eight glasses of water per day.
• Make sure you eat at least three portions of fruit and vegetables (preferably green leafy ones) every day.
• Keep salt consumption to a minimum as salt makes your body water-retentive.
• Make sure you eat a diet rich in magnesium, iron, zinc and chromium, essential fatty acids and vitamins B, C and E. Eat fish at least twice during this time.
• Increase your intake of complex carbohydrates (for example, pasta and rice).
• Avoid caffeine, which is found in coffee, tea, cola drinks and chocolate
