Premenstrual syndrome
Alternative Names
PMSPrevention
Some of the lifestyles changes often recommended for the treatment of PMS may actually be useful in preventing symptoms from developing or getting worse.
Regular exercise and a balanced diet (with increased whole grains, vegetables, fruit, and decreased or no salt, sugar, alcohol, and caffeine) may prove beneficial.
The body may have different sleep requirements at different times during a woman's menstrual cycle, so it is important to get adequate rest.
