Killing two birds with one stone!

Good news for ladies especially those with premenstrual syndrome (PMS). No need for hormone pills. You can diet away your PMS. Here's how. A special diet of six small carbohydrate rich meals a day could offer relief to those suffering from PMS.

According to a British physician, the psychological and physical symptoms suffered by women during the last two weeks of each menstrual cycle are caused by hormonal malfunctions and must be treated with frequent doses of progesterone.

During her study, 53 women who stuck to a every three hour eating plan and an overwhelming 89 per cent reported a reduction in the severity of their symptoms. The mini-meals of complex carbohydrates will keep a steady level of glucose circulating in the blood and help regulate the hormone progesterone. Thus she recommends the diet first before resorting to hormonal treatment for her patients.
