Abstract

The menstrual cycle is a physiological process that repeats monthly in women and ensures reproduction. Psychological changes can occur due to hormonal fluctuations during the menstrual cycle. These psychological changes, defined as premenstrual syndrome (PMS), affect 20-40% of women. During the menstrual period, hunger and satiety centers in the hypothalamus of the brain are affected. It has been reported that there is an increase in appetite and changes in food preference. It has been determined that the consumption of foods containing simple sugars such as chocolate and sweets, and foods with high fat and salt content increase. This leads to increased energy intake and intake of simple sugars and fats above dietary recommendations. Exacerbation of PMS has been reported in women adopting a Western-style diet. It is thought that the severity of PMS can be reduced with a healthy diet model that includes complex carbohydrates, sufficient protein, reduced saturated fat, low cholesterol, simple sugar, and salt.

Özet

Menstrual döngü kadınlarda aylık olarak tekrar eden ve üremeyi sağlayan fizyolojik bir süreçtir. Menstrual döngü sırasında hormonal dalgalanmalar nedeniyle psikolojik değişiklikler meydana gelebilir. Premenstrüel sendrom (PMS) olarak tanımlanan bu psikolojik değişiklikler kadınların %20-40'ını etkiler. Menstrual dönemde beynin açlık ve tokluk merkezi etkilenmektedir. İştahın arttığı ve besin tercihinde değişikliklerin olduğu bildirilmektedir. Bu dönemde yağlı, basit şekerler içeren veya tuz içeriği yüksek besinlerin tüketiminin arttığı tespit edilmiştir. Bu, artan enerji alımına ve diyet önerilerinin üzerinde basit şeker ve yağ alımına yol açar. Batı tarzı bir diyet benimseyen kadınlarda PMS'nin şiddetlendiği bildirilmiştir. Kompleks karbonhidratlar, yeterli protein, azaltılmış doymuş yağ, düşük kolesterol, basit şeker ve tuz içeren sağlıklı bir diyet modeli ile PMS şiddetinin azaltılabileceği düşünülmektedir.
