Ease PMS

>> Monday, March 30, 2009

When it comes to soothing premenstrual symptoms, the best medicine may be found in your kitchen—and it's not the chocolate and fatty foods you might crave. Studies have shown that healthy foods can actually eliminate the mood swings, bloating, blemishes, breast tenderness, and fatigue that often precede menstruation. Consuming soy, vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds may help balance hormones and prevent PMS symptoms.
Salad of Asparagus, Mâche, Endive and Orange Vinaigrette and Strawberry Salad with Gorgonzola Dressing incorporate the ingredients to help ease your symptoms as well as your cravings!

General Information

It is best to have a nearly empty stomach and wear non-restrictive clothing for yoga class. Yoga is practiced with bare feet, and traditionally shoes are not worn into a yoga studio. You do not need to be young and flexible to practice Yoga! Yoga is a means of becoming more flexible. In addition to learning flexibility of the body, it is about practicing flexibility in our daily life. Yoga is also about respecting and honoring ourself, regardless of physical ability or limitations.
Anyone can do yoga.
Classes are designed to accommodate all skill levels by modifying poses with the assistance of props so that everybody can reap the benefits of the pose.

Here's What You Need to Get Started

Yoga mat
Optional Props: block, strap and bolster

Yoga mats: If you get a good mat, you can expect to spend about $30-$75. I know. They aren't cheap. But the longer you practice and the more advanced you become, you will find the higher quality mats will help you grip better, not slide, etc... Also, be careful that your mat isn't too thick and squishy - I think a good thickness is around 1/8"-3/16". My mat is a Jade mat; I paid $60 for mine. I love it!!!
