Foods Rich in Vitamin Bs may help reduce PMS
1
Good news for the pre-menstrually challenged among us! Recent research suggests women with high intakes of B vitamins from food sources have a lower risk of PMS.
A case-control study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition evaluated whether B vitamin intake from food sources had a reduction in PMS.
Dietary information from approximately 3,000 women was collected over a 10-year period.
The study authors observed a significantly lower risk of PMS in women with high intakes of thiamine and riboflavin (vitamin B1 and vitamin B2) from food sources.
The authors also concluded that food sources of B vitamins are well absorbed and are also naturally high in calcium and vitamin D - both of which are also beneficial in their role in preventing PMS.
