OK ladies. Maybe there is help out there for our “moods” caused by PMS. Hopefully this will help us all.
Investigators
believe that vitamins B1 and B2 may somehow increase two brain
neurotransmitters – serotonin and dopamine. And a lack of these two
neurotransmitters may play a role in PMS symptoms. The researchers saw a
reduction in the risk of symptoms only from eating B1 and B2 rich foods
so popping a supplement apparently won’t help. Women who reduced their
risk of PMS by 25-35% consumed twice the current recommended dietary
allowance for these two nutrients. So, what foods give you the most B1
and B2 in your diet?
Black
beans, pinto beans, navy beans, lentils, and peas all contain ample
supplies of vitamin B1. One cup of black beans supplies 28% of the RDA
for B1.
A cup of spinach supplies 15% of the RDA for vitamin B1 and 25% of the RDA for vitamin B2.
A
serving of yogurt supplies 32% of the RDA for vitamin B2. It’s also
loaded with calcium and vitamin D, two more nutrients thought to
diminish PMS.
A serving of tuna supplies 38% of the RDA of vitamin B1.
So,
there we have it. Hopefully help at last. And for you men that read
my posts, you might want to pass this on to the women in your life.
