Are you feeling grumpy, tense, tired or depressed? Maybe you cry a lot and crave certain foods, too. Or
maybe you have felt changes in your body, like acne, a bloated stomach,breast aches or slight weight gain. If
you feel this way and it’s also a few days before your period, you might have premenstrual syndrome or
PMS. Don’t worry! PMS is a normal part of having a period, and you will feel better soon!
If you get PMS, try…
* Eating more healthful foods and less sugar and fat.
* Eating less salt the few days before your period, which can help stop bloating.
* Drinking less caffeine (found in soda, tea and coffee) to feel less crabby and help ease breast
aches and cramps.
* Eating small meals often each day rather than big ones.
* Exercising for at least 30 min-utes, four to six times a week. If you have cramps or aches and pains, don’t exercise so hard—you can walk instead of jog.
* Sleeping at least 8 hours each night.
Teen tip:
To make menstrual cramps bet-ter, put a warm water bottle or heating pad on your lower back
or lower belly. You may also try hugging a pillow. Don’t ever take medicine without permis-sion from a parent or guardian.
* Keeping a regular schedule for exercise, meals and bedtime.
* Talking to your doctor about your PMS symptoms. Your doc-tor may have you take a pain reliever that has ibuprofen or pyroxene, which you can buy at a grocery store or drugstore without a doctor’s orders.
Make sure you have perms-Sion from a parent or guard-Ian first. Your doctor may give you other medicines if the symptoms are really bad.
