Easing PMS During Perimenopause
"Navigating PMS during perimenopause can be challenging, but I've got you covered! Here are some practical tips to help you manage your symptoms and feel your very best."
Stay Active: Regular exercise can help reduce PMS symptoms by boosting endorphins and improving mood. Try and aim for 15 minutes 5 days per week with a daily walk thrown into the mix.
Eat a Balanced Diet: Focus on whole foods rich in fibre, lean protein, and healthy fats. Include plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to help regulate hormones and reduce bloating.
Hydrate: Drinking plenty of water can help reduce bloating and flush out toxins. Try and aim for 2ltrs per day.
Reduce Caffeine and Alcohol: Both caffeine and alcohol can exacerbate PMS symptoms. Try to cut back, especially in the days leading up to your period, or when your period would have been if they have become irregular.
Get Enough Sleep: Aim for 7-9 hours of good quality sleep per night. Good sleep helps regulate hormones and reduces stress.
Manage Stress: Practice relaxation techniques such as meditation, mindfulness or deep breathing exercises. Reducing stress can help balance your hormones and alleviate PMS symptoms.
Consider Supplements: Some women find relief with supplements like magnesium, vitamin B6, and omega-3 fatty acids. Always consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplements.
Track Your Symptoms: Keep a diary of your PMS symptoms to identify patterns and triggers. This can help you manage and prepare for them more effectively.
Seek Support: Talk to friends, join a support group (like the Cara Fitness Community), or consult with a healthcare professional. Sharing your experiences and getting advice can be incredibly helpful.
Pamper Yourself: Take time to relax and do something you enjoy. Taking time for you is so important. A warm bath, reading a book, or watching a favourite movie can provide comfort and reduce stress.

I have a whole new mindset since finding Cara Metz the menopausal fitness master, motivator who leaves you wanting more with her realness and amazing 15 min workouts !!!!!

What can I say. Cara Metz truly understands her tribe and approaches us all as individuals at the same time. This makes a huge difference when you feel so understood and supported, gives you a lift.
The group of women here, worldwide, are incredible. We all have our own ups and downs and the reward of being here is feeling genuinely cared for.
I lost my way about 18 months ago and briefly left the group feeling quite lost. It soon became apparent that I was menopausal and that Cara Metz was exactly what I needed! I rejoined and am a very happy woman for it, thank you to every single member.

Cara fitness has taught me how to understand the changes due to menopause and learn to love my body again through realistic fitness classes that have made an incredible difference. Meditation, that has helped me not to feel like I'm losing my mind . Cara has given you a sense of normality which is definitely needed at this time in our lives and she's created a community of women who are all going through these daily challenges and are incredibly supportive on the good days and the bad. In a nutshell, Cara fitness is just simply addictive.

Cara is encouraging, empathetic and kind. So happy to have found her app. It’s like having my own little personal trainer in my iPad. I actually look forward to working out now as the 15 minute workouts are manageable and worthwhile. There is so much content available and the programs are well structured. I feel committed, motivated and strong and I am excited to see my progress!! Thankyou Cara fitness!

A message from me, Cara, to you.
'Surely 15 minutes is not enough, what else do you do?'
This is the question I get all the time. It works because it allows you to stay consistent. All the time you put too much pressure on yourself to workout, you find it difficult to stay consistent because you tend to stop when life throws a curve ball your way!
AND LIFE ALWAYS THROWS CURVE BALLS!
Having the mantra 'it is just 15 minutes' let's you know it will be over before you know it! Therefore allowing a sustainable workout lifestyle to be born. We work on mindset and nutrition for women over 40 too and this will all become clear once you become part of the Cara Fitness family.
