PMS Diet Plan: Smart Nutrition Eases Monthly Symptoms, Experts Reveal Key Strategies

• Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) symptoms like mood swings, bloating, and fatigue are influenced by diet, say experts Dr. Madhavi Reddy and Veena V.
• Stabilizing glucose levels with complex carbohydrates (quinoa, oats, legumes) is crucial to prevent irritability and cravings, avoiding refined sugars.
• Reducing high sodium intake from processed foods helps minimize fluid retention, bloating, and breast tenderness.
• Omega-3 fatty acids (fatty fish, walnuts, flaxseeds) and micronutrients like magnesium (dark leafy greens, nuts) and calcium support hormonal balance and reduce inflammation.
• Moderation in caffeine and alcohol, adequate hydration, and consistent nutrient-dense eating patterns are key for managing PMS symptoms effectively.
