While there isn't' much women can do to relive the symptoms, one sure fire way to lessen them is exercise. Significant reduction in PMS symptoms is seen in women who exercise 5 times a week for 30 minutes at a moderate intensity. Diet can also play a role in PMS symptoms. Osteoporosis is the cause of all these fractures, and it occurs 10 times more in women than it does in men. Older women can benefit most from estrogen to control osteoporosis, and it does so by preventing the accelerated bone loss that occurs during the first years after menopause.
Younger women can fight osteoporosis by getting the recommended daily amounts of calcium.
All women can benefit from any kind of exercise that tugs and pulls on bones. BACK Copyright 1999 The Motivation Station. All rights reserved. Content from The Motivation Station may not be reprinted in any way without written permission from The Motivation Station and the author.
