Eating food full of iron from plant-based sources – such as dried beans and green leafy vegetables – can ease the pain and emotional tumult of premenstrual syndrome (PMS), which affects one in 10 women. Symptoms include breast tenderness, abdominal, bloating, appetite changes, depression and anxiety.
One in three women with iron in their diets did not develop PMS as compared to those who had less iron. Iron reduces the pain and emotional symptoms of PMS by boosting levels of serotonin, low levels of which are associated with clinical depression.
