We can say it stress, moodiness, fatigue. But there could be something else at work – Hormones.

They may rule your emotions, from puberty through pregnancy and menopause in ways that you might not understand.

HELP WITH YOUR HORMONES
MEDICAL evidence suggests that women with hormonal problems usually have either an unbalanced diet or existing deficiencies of fatty acids in their bodies. Fatty acids are necessary to produce Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA), which is vital in the production of prostaglandins. A healthy life style can go a long way in helping you cope.

Yoga – meditation can help restore a calm frame of mind.
Exercise everyday and regularly.
Reduce stress evels by doing what you enjoy in doing like hobbies.
Severe PMS (Pre menstrual syndrome) can be tackled by low doses of anti-depressants or anti anxiety drugs under a doctor’s supervision.
Reduce intake of salt – it can cause water retention.
Eat lots of green vegetables.
Cut down on smoking and alcohol, which only aggravate symptoms.
Reduce your intake of sugar and junk foods.

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) eliminates the physical symptoms of menopause such as night sweats and hot flushes and oestrogen doses during this time can have some mood-enhancing effects as well as good skin.
