Do you suffer from PMS?!

Meta-analysis researchers investigated the effect of alcohol consumption on the risk of premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Researchers analysed 19 studies involving more than 47,000 participants.

Pooled analysis of the data showed that intake of alcohol heightened risk of PMS by 45%. Heavy drinking yielded a 79% increase in the risk.

Authors suggested that alcohol may increase PMS risk by altering levels of the s*x steroid hormones and gonadotropin during the menstrual cycle, and/or it might interfere with the production of key 'mood' chemicals in the brain, such as serotonin.

In conclusion, alcohol consumption is associated with PMS risk.

Health Fund Recognition for Nutritionists

ANTA has recently sent a submission to various health funds who do not currently recognise practitioners with a Nutritional modality, requesting recognition as we recognise that poor nutrition underpins a significant number of health issues facing society.

Nutrition and wellness has been highlighted by federal and state health ministers, and promoted by numerous health departments and agencies.

We are now making a push to have health funds who do not currently recognise nutrition as a modality, look at the evidence supporting nutrition and make changes to their policies to support the belief that appropriate nutrition and nutritional advice is important in maintaining health, managing health issues, and it will assist in reducing the current high cost of health care.

Can your diet determine how soon you will go through menopause?

In a study conducted in the UK, more than 14,000 women were followed for approximately 4 years. The final analysis included 914 women who went through a natural menopause at a mean age of 51 years. Food questionnaires revealed their dietary patterns.

A high intake of oily fish and fresh legumes was associated with delayed onset of natural menopause by 3.3 years per portion/day and 0.9 years per portion/day, respectively.

It revealed that High dietary intake of refined carbohydrates, such as pasta and rice, was associated with an earlier menopause.

Higher intake of vitamin B6 and zinc was also associated with a later age of menopause.

Interestingly, this study displayed that women who were vegetarian had an earlier age at natural menopause compared with non-vegetarians.

These results suggest that certain dietary patterns are individually predictive of age at natural menopause.
