Irritability, unreasonable outbursts of anger, self-pity … The vast majority of women are well aware of these PMS symptoms. It's not uncommon for yourself to feel sorry for yourself at times like this, and your hand will naturally reach for a box of chocolates or a piece of whipped cream cake. However, it is at this moment that you should control yourself as tightly as possible. As scientists have found, addiction to sweet and fat during PMS can seriously accelerate the aging process of the skin.
According to doctors, almost three quarters of women suffer from premenstrual syndrome. And almost 40% complain that during these few days their life resembles, if not hell, then purgatory. The skin looks dull, and even the avid fitness lovers have a "floating" figure. During this period, when the testosterone level is at a minimum, many begin to pamper themselves and "seize" stress. As the study showed, even women who relatively calmly respond to hormonal surges during PMS increased their calorie intake by more than a thousand per day, i.e. almost twice the norm. And those calories came primarily from carbohydrates.
But at the same time, the passion for sweets leads to aging of the skin. The fact is that with an excess of sugar, glucose molecules attach to proteins in collagen, as a result, sticky brown compounds are formed, which make the elastic fibers of the skin tough, and as a result, wrinkles and spots appear, writes Meddaily.ru.
At the same time, inflexible tissues are more susceptible to damage and premature aging. Collagen and elastin are particularly affected. The aging process of the skin begins at about 35 years of age and is rapidly gaining momentum. Consequently, the more a person consumes sweets, the more damage. Plus, sweets can only make your PMS symptoms worse.
Experts recommend carefully monitoring sugar consumption during this period and clarify that magnesium and iron, which are rich in cocoa beans, broccoli and sesame seeds, will help to cope with cravings for high-calorie foods.
