Their nervous systems are sensitive to the ups and downs in estrogen
and progesterone that occur naturally every month. But snacking on

researchers at New York 's Columbia University . "Yogurt is rich in
calcium, a mineral that naturally calms the nervous system,
preventing painful symptoms even when hormones are in
flux," explains Mary Jane Minkin, M.D., a professor of
gynecology at Yale University .
