In addition, many women have specific nutritional requirements during their monthly menstrual cycle. Women between puberty & the menopause often find that the 2-14 days before the start of the period are accompanied by physical & emotional changes. It has been suggested that fluctuating hormone levels can be partly responsible for this & that a healthy diet & lifestyle can help this aspect of women’s health. It is worth considering the possibility of obtaining extra nutrients through supplementation. Research has shown that many women who experience problems related to the monthly cycle have low levels of magnesium, a mineral needed for normal nerve & hormone function as well as energy production. There is evidence too that vitamin B6 can help. As well as helping maintain well being, these nutrients work with other selected vitamins & minerals. Studies confirm that nutrients found in Magnesium-OK give good nutritional support to women in their reproductive years & so help to maintain overall well being What can you do to help yourself? Most women recognise that nutritional balance is very important at this time & a healthy diet should form the basis for good nutrition. Unfortunately leading a busy, hectic lifestyle can make eating regular, nutritionally balanced meals difficult. A nutritional supplement, such as Magnesium-OK, could help. Exercise – Undertaking any form of exercise, e.g. walking or swimming, two or three times a week, can help to keep you healthy & make you feel good. Relaxation – Learning to relax may help. Whether it’s a long bath, meditation or music, try different methods of relaxation until you find one that suits you. Diet – Evidence suggests that good nutrition can help you meet the demands of the monthly cycle. Make sure that your diet is well balanced with plenty of fresh foods, especially fruit & vegetables & reasonable amounts of low fat protein & complex carbohydrate foods. Good sources include poultry, oily & white fish, wholemeal bread, brown rice & other wholegrains. Cut down on sugary or salty foods, packaged convenience foods, fried food, fatty meat, foods with a high saturated fat content, caffeine, alcohol & sugary drinks. Regularly drink water throughout the day & replace stimulants such as tea & coffee with herbal teas & coffee alternatives (dandelion root or grain based drinks). Do not skip meals. Even if you are not keen on breakfast, be sure to eat at least some toast, preferably made with wholemeal bread. You could vary this during the week by eating a healthy breakfast cereal, yoghurt with fruit or an occasional boiled egg. These are just a few suggestions for a healthy start to the day but there are many more to be explored. Who should take Magnesium-OK?
