A WONDER drug that banishes PMT is being developed by British scientists - but a cure may already be on your breakfast table.
Marmite could be a woman's best friend when it comes to beating the monthly blues. And, fellas, that's a very good reason to make your missus breakfast in bed.
It's too late for rocker Rod Stewart and ex Rachel Hunter, of course.
Their marriage broke down after this 2001 photograph of the model on a London street, giving her man the sort of earbashing that PMT can produce.
But for other couples, the humble breakfast spread could be marital magic.
After all, the new birth pill that promises to cure pre-menstrual tension — the cause of so many tantrums and plate-throwing rages — is still five years away.
Around 1.5million women get PMT and it's most likely to hit between the ages of 30 and 45. Here are some simple ways to beat it:
MARMITE FEELING fat and bloated is one of the most common symptoms of PMT — a feeling that is bound to put you in a bad mood.
But now it has been shown that Marmite banishes the bloat.
The spread is packed with vitamin B6, which studies show helps reduce water retention, the main culprit for that fat feeling.
If you don't like Marmite, fish, eggs and brazil nuts are also good sources of B6.
