Increase Your Chances to Reduce PMT?

Updated: Apr 21



Premenstrual tension (PMT) is a common condition that many women experience before their menstrual period. Symptoms of PMT can include bloating, breast tenderness, fatigue, irritability, and mood swings. While the symptoms of PMT can vary from woman to woman, there are some things you can do to help reduce your symptoms:

  1. Exercise regularly: Physical activity can help alleviate stress and tension and improve your overall mood. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per day, such as brisk walking, jogging, cycling, or swimming.

  2. Eat a healthy diet: A diet that is high in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains and low in fat and sugar can help reduce symptoms of PMT. Avoiding caffeine, alcohol, and processed foods can also be beneficial.

  3. Get enough sleep: Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep per night, and try to go to bed and wake up at the same time each day.

  4. Relaxation techniques: such as deep breathing, yoga, or meditation, can help reduce stress and tension and improve your mood.

  5. Be sure to practice good self-care, such as taking a warm bath or reading a book before bed.

  6. Consider taking a dietary supplement, such as vitamin B6, evening primrose oil, or omega-3 fatty acids. These supplements may help reduce symptoms of PMT in some women.

  7. If your symptoms are severe, you may consider talking to your doctor about taking oral contraceptives, which can help regulate your hormones and reduce symptoms of PMT.

  8. Try to keep your stress levels in check: Stress can worsen PMS symptoms.

It's important to note that some of these remedies may work for some women and not for others. It's worth trying different things to find what works best for you.
