How can lifestyle changes help women with PMS?
Lifestyle and physical activity changes, including improving diet, reducing caffeine and alcohol, and keeping a symptom diary, improve well-being and help with diagnosing and treating PMS.
What they did
This paper discusses how lifestyle approaches can help women with PMS.
What they found
Physical activity, diet improvements, reducing stimulants, and symptom tracking positively affect well-being and help with early diagnosis and starting treatment.
What it means for you
Women with PMS can improve how they feel by making lifestyle changes. Combining several approaches together (exercise, better diet, cutting back on caffeine and alcohol, tracking symptoms) appears more helpful than making one change alone.
