When I have PMS, my breasts swell and hurt. How can I prevent the monthly misery?

Skip the salt to prevent water retention, and neither you nor your breasts will feel (and look) like water balloons. Eat lots of fruit, vegetables and protein, avoid sugar and salty foods, and get a move on! Exercise helps your body eliminate excess fluid. Though you wouldn't offer a drowning man water, make sure you drink plenty of H2O, no matter how bloated you feel. Women need at least 64oz (or 8 cups) of water a day to keep the blimp away.
