Although we like to think of porn
as a universal remedy for any
and all problems, here are some
alternative ways to help calm the
waters during shark week:

• Endorphins are out there

  You just have to go and get
  them. Because even if it seems
  hard to believe, sometimes you
  find more happiness in a
  30-minute walk than you do
  vegging out on the sofa
  surrounded by empty
  bags of cheese
  crackers crumbs.

• Another way to warm things up

  Cramps are often the result of
  contracted muscles. Use a
  heating pad or a hot water
  bottle to help your muscles
  relax and reduce pain.

• Say no to (those other) vices

  Try to silence the inner voices
  that scream for caffeine, trans
  fats, salty foods, alcohol and
  cigarettes. Not a good idea
  for your uterus.

• Sleeping, beauty

  It's proven that during your
  period you feel more tired, and
  if you are having problems
  sleeping... well, we can
  help you with that.

• The only tip that matters

  Pure dark chocolate (at least
  60% cocoa) contains magnesium, a
  substance that will help reduce
  cramps... blah, blah, blah...
  CHOCOLATE!

• Drink water my friend

  Remember what your gym coach
  said? Always. Stay. Hydrated.
  Well, when it comes to your
  period, the same rules apply.
  Try to drink 10 8oz glasses
  of water, juice or
  milk throughout
  the day.
