Dear H. Hoa!
The discomfort during the period before the menstrual period is called the premenstrual syndrome (PMS).This syndrome is also different in people, some people have a headache, dizziness but there are also people who nausea, vomiting or even pain
chest, many ... the cause of this condition is due to hormonal changes when menstruation.
Instead of eating a lot of sweets to eliminate the symptoms of dysmenorrhea, you should eat healthy, avoid eating too sweet, too salty ... Artwork
Although this phenomenon is normal and will disappear by themselves, it makes many women feel extremely tired and uncomfortable.Therefore, many women do not hesitate to apply any measures to feel more comfortable.Eating lots of sweets before menstruation is also a way to choose by many women.
However, no scientific basis proves that eating sweets can help treat menstrual symptoms,
dysmenorrhea.Even eating a lot of sweets also affects the level of testosterone and estrogen - two main gender hormones in the body.The researchers have found that eating too much sweeteners in both types of fructose and glucose leads to gene control of testosterone and estrogen levels working inside the body to stop working.This is also the reason for the hormonal disorders in the woman's body and has symptoms

In addition, eating too sweet is also a cause of obesity, suffering from resistance to insulin.Insulin is a hormone that supports the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream to provide the necessary energy for cells.Insulin resistance is the precursor of diabetes and is one of the causes of hormone disorders.
Therefore, instead of eating more sweets to eliminate unpleasant symptoms before menstruation, you should
healthy eating, avoid eating too sweet, too salty, avoid consuming stimulants ... and hard work.If uncomfortable attacks are high, you should consult your doctor's advice to see if it is possible to use any medication.
