Looking for some remedies for PMS fatigue? Have you had it with being tired? Do you secretly envy those who are energy bunnies and never tire?
What the Energy Bunnies won’t tell you – because they don’t realize it – is that they don’t have one solution for their high level of energy every day, including days of their period. They live a lifestyle that produces energy. One solution will never be enough!
Lifestyle Habits That Zap Your Energy Levels
So examine your lifestyle and see if you have any of these energy-zapping habits. Do you:
• Indulge in alcohol? (It will always zap your energy afterwards. Alcohol strips your body of the necessary B vitamins that give you energy.)
• Eat foods high on the glycemic index like sugar and processed foods? (You can always expect a drop in energy levels 1-1/2 to 2 hours after eating these life-sucking foods.)
• Smoke? (Smoking robs your body of vitamin C, which is directly connected to your energy levels.)
• Hang around friends who are backbiters instead of do-gooders? (You’ll always be on the guard around backbiters because you may be their next victim. This uses up energy.)
Other than getting these four main energy drainers corrected, you can use a natural remedy or two or three of them to get back on track and learn how to remedy PMS fatigue.
Natural Remedies for Eliminating PMS Fatigue
Here are some natural and home remedies that can help you quickly become an Energy Bunny yourself:
1. Use herbal remedies. These are everywhere and the beauty of them is that there are many different ones that work. You simply have to find one that works for you. For some women, it might be the warm cup of chai tea that she has in the morning. Chai tea is loaded with several different types of spices that restore energy levels and made with a little milk for extra nutrients. Drunk in the morning, it can energize your cells, thus beating fatigue for the entire day.
2. As a menstrual fatigue remedy, you can consider exercise as a primary solution. Exercise trains your body to adapt to stress better. If you haven’t been working out, it will take about four weeks for this remedy to kick in but it will work. Those who work out have more energy than those who don’t.
3. Vitamins and minerals to take – You can take extra antioxidants to get extra energy. Probably the most important vitamin in this category is vitamin C. Take 500 mg to 1000 mg one to two times a day and see what happens to your energy levels. Vitamin C also goes into the immune system to boost its functions, which can help you overcome a minor infection in a short period o time. Infections zap the body of energy.
4. A period vitamin may be your best bet when it comes to insuring you are getting all the vitamins and minerals you need during your periods and your menstrual years. This is taken only once daily and contains all the ingredients needed to support your body during the hormonal fluctuations of your cycles.
