A few days before the critical days, many women experience bouts of uncontrollable hunger, while they do not even feel full after eating. Everything that comes to hand is eaten until there is a bursting feeling in the abdomen and a bad mood from realizing the scale of the food disaster. The reason for this hunger is hormones, and there are ways to combat it.
- Eat fiber
All foods that contain fiber give you a feeling of fullness. In addition, they improve metabolism and deceive the hormonal system, preventing it from affecting your hunger. Cereals, cereals, fruits and vegetables contain fiber.
These foods are also a source of slow carbohydrates that your body needs during PMS. Therefore, you are drawn to sweet and starchy foods, but fast carbohydrates in a short time will make you run back to the refrigerator, while slow ones will saturate for a long time.
- Do some sports
Exercising is a great distraction from the craving for a bite to eat, burns old supplies and heals the female body. Over time, sport also changes the hormonal system imperceptibly, forcing it to work harmoniously with the rest of the systems. Lack of exercise causes a reduction in progestol, which is responsible for feeling well during PMS.
- Consume vitamins
Often, any body lacks vitamins – the seasonality and individual properties of assimilating nutrients lead to vitamin deficiency. The more vitamins enter the body, the better the human hormonal system works. Pay attention to vitamin A, which is found in yolk, cheese, liver. For vitamin B6 – bananas, bran, carrots. For vitamin E – there is a lot of it in beans, cabbage and nuts. And on omega-3 fatty acids – their source is fish.
- Don’t be nervous
On PMS days, minimize stressful situations, try to approach everything rationally and solve problems as they come, and not panic in vain. The cause of eating disorders during PMS is stress seizure. Get distracted, do what you love, allow yourself to rest – and the reasons for mindlessly eating food will go away along with stress.
