If you’ve been suffering from PMS and menstrual cramps, adding a 1 gram capsule of mixed essential fatty acids to your daily diet could help reduce your symptoms say’s a group of researcher in Brazil. This is not the first research to link PMS and essential fatty acid (EFA) intake. Since our bodies can only produce fatty acids, (long chain molecules) from the foods we eat, then our bodies will be deficient if our diets are deficient.
Eating eggs, nuts, vegetables and fish daily should help a body produce enough. If not, a dietary supplement of flax oil or fish oils containing omega 3 and omega 6’s are a very good way to supplement your EFA production. Essential fatty acids are well known for stabilizing your mood, reducing inflammation and pain, and aiding in the regulation of estrogen and progesterone.
