Is Caffeine Bad For PMS Symptoms?

Kicking Caffeine to Help Relieve Menstural Cramps

Caffeine can provide a much needed jolt to get some of us moving in the morning, but that cup of coffee, cola or piece of chocolate you ingest has caffeine which can interfere with proper metabolism of estrogen. Caffeine also causes fluctuations in blood sugar levels that can cause extra problems in PMS symptoms, causing extra breast tenderness and more painful menstrual cramps. Most menstrual cramps are made worse by a hormonal imbalance, specifically the stimulatory effect of too much estrogen in relationship to progesterone. So, the proper metabolism of estrogen is very important in avoiding and lessening the severity of cramping.
