Working out doesn't sound very appealing when you're suffering from cramps, but doing so will relieve your pain. Exercise balances your hormones, decrease stress, lower pain and loosens your muscles

to mitigate cramping. Breaking a sweat may be just the thing you need.

When you're PMS-ing, you probably feel bloated. Avoiding salt and drinking more water can help with that. A diet that has high sodium content just contributes water retention, bloats you up and

might make you gain weight.

Your yearning for sugary snacks increases when you're on PMS. This is because the fluctuating levels of estrogen and progesterone can decrease chemical serotonin in the brain. So it's only normal to crave

for sweets to boost your serotonin levels. But then again, it's better to lay off sugar and opt for whole grain instead. Having too much sugar may result to fatigue, anxiety and

irritability. 

You probably already know this one, but it's a remedy that's easy to overlook. Using a heating pad or a hot water bottle will provide immediate relief from your pesky

cramps.
