For many women, PMS can strike like a bolt of lightning while you sleep. He turns your life upside down and viciously continues his rage of fury for countless generations in the families of women. Also, for some generations of women in families, cysts and fibroids are a continuous course.
These problems have affected millions of women probably since the beginning of time and continue to rage while many suffer from feeling hopeless. I have found through my experimentation that the types of foods eaten at least a few days before and during your expected cycle make a significant difference in how you feel during this time.
Apparently, the types of foods also make a big difference in the way you look because many women experience breakouts on their chin during menstruation. According to the Ancient Principle of Western Chinese Medicine, acne on the chin means that there are reproductive (hormonal) problems at bay in the body.
Well, there is good and great news. Which do you want first? The good news is that there is an all-natural substance, in the form of a fruit, that will ease PMS symptoms like bloating, nausea, and cramps. The good news is that this food is very cheap and with continued addition to your diet, it will reduce your chance of developing fibroids or cysts.
This amazing food is dried apricots! You can find them in many stores, but it’s important to only use the sulfur-free version that has no extra added sugar. Health food stores offer these types or you can contact the manager of your favorite supermarket and ask them to bring you dried apricots without sulfur and without added sugar. Be sure to only eat 1 serving as it is sugary and high in calories, but packed with vitamins that will help relieve PMS pain.
After eating your serving of apricots, be sure to drink at least a glass of warm water afterward to dilute the sugar a bit and hydrate. Water is the best friend of girls with PMS. It is a good idea to eat a serving of dried apricots starting at least 3 days before your expected menstrual cycle and the first two days while you are taking it. Remember to drink plenty of water in the days leading up to and during the first two days of your cycle to reduce swelling and help the apricots absorb better into your body.
What about fresh apricots? These are good fruits to add to your diet, but it is preferable to have dried apricots in this specific situation because they are more concentrated in nutrients than fresh apricots per serving. Generally speaking, you don’t want to eat mostly dried fruit because it’s very calorie and sugar dense with little of the hydration factor that fresh fruit offers. Fresh is better, but in this case dry will be better.
