      Why do you gain weight before menstruation? Gaining weight is one of the most common symptoms of premenstrual syndrome. In the week before your period, your body's ability to "storage water" will greatly increase, and you may even gain 5 pounds!

      What to do if you gain weight before menstruation: Is it difficult to tolerate weight gain? The best countermeasure is to reduce the salt content in the body as much as possible. In other words, it is better to eat less of potato chips, cooked meat products, and canned foods. Ensuring eight large glasses of water every day is also an effective "weight loss" secret.

      Other studies have shown that taking 200 mg of magnesium every day can also effectively alleviate the occurrence of this "puffiness" situation. And then there is exercise , 30 minutes of continuous aerobic exercise every day is also effective. >>>> What should women eat if they have bad mood during menstruation?
