As we mentioned in previous article, Premenstrual syndrome effects over 70% to 90% of women before menopause in the US and less for women in Southeast Asia because of their difference in living style and social structure. The occurrence of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) have more than doubled over the past 50 years due to the acceptance of it as a medical condition that is caused by unhealthy diet with high in saturated food. Premenstrual syndrome is defined as faulty function of the ovaries related to the women's menstrual cycle, it effects a women's physical and emotional state, and sometimes interferes with daily activities as a result of hormone fluctuation. The syndrome occurs one to two weeks before menstruation and then declines when the period starts. In this article, we will discuss what exhibits stress to cause PMS.
1. Vitamins and mineral deficiency
Vitamins B6, B5 and zinc are important when stress is a problem, because they help to increase function of adrenal gland in secreting the right levels of serotonin and adrenaline which help to cope with stress. Vitamin C is also important to make the healthy adrenal by increasing the immune system fighting against any infection.
2. imbalance of levels of fatty acids
Strong liver is vital in fatty acids synthesis. Imbalance of levels of Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids interfere with function of the liver resulting in over production of levels of estrogen leading to nervous tension and stress for women with PMS.
3. Hormone imbalance
Hormone imbalance always is a major problem for women with PMS, because over and under production of certain hormones increase nervous tension leading to symptoms of PMS including stress.
4. Abnormal adrenal gland function
For what ever reason, before menstruation, some women are very good in coping with stress, but some are not, it may be caused by weakening adrenal gland.
5. Immune system
Strong immune system not only helps to fight against foreign invasion and forming of free radical, it also decrease the risk of gland infection leading to abnormal function in hormone secretion and stress.
6. Excessive drinking
Excessive drinking not only reduces the function of liver in fat and protein metabolism, but also increase the nervous tension resulting in increasing the risk of unbalance of production of certain hormones causing stress.
