It's okay to give in to cravings once in a while. If you are constantly eating milk chocolate while you're on your period, however, you might actually be doing yourself a disservice. Sugar, salt, and coffee can aggravate your symptoms and actually make them worse. Try to avoid these foods in the time leading up to and during your period. Why are sugar, salt, and coffee bad? Sugar spikes your blood sugar which can actually make you more irritable. Salt can cause you to feel even more bloated, and caffeine elevates estrogen production, which can cause more extreme PMS symptoms. Try to consume leafy greens, salmon, whole grains, bananas, and yogurt instead. Packed with all sorts of vitamins, these foods will reduce your symptoms so you can enjoy yourself and forget about your period. You may be tempted to curl up on the sofa and watch television all day, but you'll actually feel happier if you get up and move around. Exercise reduces your symptoms, like cramping and bloating, and releases mood-boosting endorphins. Your body temperature is actually lower when you're on your period too, so you'll stay cooler. You don't necessarily need to run a marathon or hike a mountain to get some exercise. Grab a friend and try a spin class, take your dog for a walk around your neighborhood, or break out your yoga mat and do some sun salutations. Anything that gets your body moving and active will make you feel better. Leaks sometimes happen during exercise. Therefore, it's a good idea to use a tampon over a pad to prevent leaks. If you're having a particularly heavy month, using a tampon and a pad may help with leak protection. You could also try wearing darker workout clothes in case a leak occurs. Essential oils are a natural way to perk yourself up when you're feeling sluggish. Add a few drops to a hot bath or massage it into your temples and wrists. The smell alone will make you feel more happy and relaxed. There are a lot of different oils out there, but a few, in particular, can be helpful during your period. Bergamot and clary sage keep your mood stable, geranium is wonderful if you're feeling crabby, and lavender helps you relax. White peppermint can relieve headaches and grapefruit and lemon are great for bloating. If you're stressed out, your period symptoms may be even more extreme. Take some time to think about what is stressing you out. If it's something you can easily address, take care of it so it's off your mind. If it's something out of your control, remind yourself of that and try to relax with a bubble bath, yoga, or meditation. If you're experiencing substantial cramping, breast tenderness, backaches, or headaches, and nothing natural seems to be working, you may want to try taking a pain reliever. These pain relievers include ibuprofen (Advil) and naproxen (Aleve). You can also try remedies specially made for PMS symptoms like Pamprin and Midol. Always follow the dosage information on the bottle and talk to your doctor if you're unsure or have any questions before taking medication. Another common way of dealing with periods is a heating pad. As a heating pad can be comforting, this also may help you enjoy your time of the month. See cramps as an excuse to indulge in this luxury. You can purchase a heating pad at most drug stores. Make sure you read instructions before use, as some heating pads should be wrapped in a blanket or towel. Never leave a heating pad plugged in overnight or unattended.

Article: Honey can last for years, and natural honey can theoretically last indefinitely. However, honey may start to crystalize after awhile. You do not need to throw away crystalized honey. You can bring the honey back to its liquid state with boiling water. First, bring a pot of water to a boil. Then, set your jar of honey into the pot. Keep the container tightly sealed. Turn off the heat on your stove. Leave the honey container alone until it's cool. The honey should have returned to its liquid state. Many people store honey in the kitchen. This is the most convenient place to store honey, as it'll be on hand when you need to use it. However, keep it away from warmer parts of your kitchen. Excessive heat can harm honey. Do not store honey near an oven, for example. While honey can be frozen and thawed later, it should never be stored in the fridge. This can cause honey to crystalize faster. If your kitchen is too hot to store honey, choose a cooler place in your home rather than placing honey in the fridge.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Fix honey that has crystalized. Keep honey away from warmer areas in the kitchen. Do not store honey in the refrigerator.
