  62. Comment by joannaonthelake on September 17, 2008 at 8:22 AM  

    My health question is what is the safest and most effective "natural" way to relieve symptoms of PMS. I do not want to take any form of prescription in order to help eliminate some of my mood swings and feelings of being bloated, etc. but when I go to the drug store and try and select an over the counter "natural" product I find the choices are overwhelming. Any suggestions for the common symptoms of PMS relief? My question related to fitness is, is there such a thing as too much exercise? I am a sort of fitness "freak" and am thinking perhaps I tend to over-do my workouts. I am afraid if I don't work out enough, I won't be able to maintain my body the way I want to. Right now I work out 5-6 days a week at the gym, run about 4 miles 4-5 times a week, and I also love Yoga. Thank you for the opportunity to ask these questions today!
