Premenstrual syndrome is fought with vitamin B: less pain and symptoms

Many of the legends that circulate about us poor women are also due to the bogeyman of PMS. There are those of us who do not even realize that they have arrived "those days", while others - less fortunate - are caught by muscle aches, headaches and other symptoms of the case. Although the essential oils in capsules relieve premenstrual syndrome, are not the same effect as all the experts were forced to go to the source of the problem, identifying vitamin B in a valuable ally to combat these disorders.

The premenstrual syndrome affects each month between 80% and 95% of women of childbearing age, so they're not underestimate the social implications which this entails. Now, however, this comforting discovery published in the Journal of Clinical Nutrition comes to us thanks to a study conducted by researchers at the University of Massachusetts analyzing more than 3 thousand women in this very delicate moment.

More precisely, according to research women taking thiamine (B1) and riboflavin (B2) are less likely to develop PMS. And a reduced risk of 35%, in this case, not cheap. So far, we believe that over longer working lives with the contraceptive pill you could also relieve premenstrual pain by releasing the hormones that cause so many problems in those days.

Headaches, muscle aches, mood swings, irritability are just some of the manifestations of premenstrual syndrome that are looking at every possible solution as a miracle. The only condition imposed by the promising results of this study is that the B vitamins should be taken through food, because supplements do not provide the same benefits.

We do not think that our diet should be changed completely: thiamine, in fact, is found in foods such as whole grains, legumes, nuts, and riboflavin in milk, eggs, meat and green vegetables. "It's easy to consume a sufficient - say the authors of the study - because they are two or three cups of beer yeast." According to the researchers it is possible that these two B vitamins have an influence on brain neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine, linked to premenstrual syndrome, and thus relieves the negative effects.

If we can assist in the female sexuality with greater and more varied diet, so be it. So we'll have a smile even in "those days".
