Milk reduces PMS symptoms
Thursday, 2 November 2006
I have been drinking milk faithfully since I learned from this article that milk-calcium indeed reduces the symptoms of PMS.
This is good news for millions of women for whom PMS is a regular influence on their physical and psychological well-being. By conservative estimates, every one in two menstruating women suffer from moderate to severe PMS each month. According to St. Luke-Roosevelt Hospital researchers at Columbia University, calcium cuts the physical and emotional symptoms of PMS in half. They found specifically that women on high-calcium diets were less irritable, weepy, and depressed. Plus, they averted backaches, cramping and bloating.
So go and stockpile your fridge with milk now!
