Period Cramp remedies?

Being active before your period helps to prevent some cramping. Exercise and stretch during the cramping even though it hurts if you keep moving the pain will ease. I take advil or ibuprofen usually 600mg but check with your doctor. I've also heard that drinking milk helps before and during. Drink a lot of water and avoid salty foods (I know all you want to eat is salt on you period but they contribute to the cramps) Hot baths help too. Kind of good news as you get older cramps are less painful.
