Prove that a continuous function on $\mathbb{R}$ which is periodic attains its extreme values.

I don't know how to start this proof, but I know I have to use the extreme value theorem, continuity and something with compact sets.

Assume that the period equals $p$ and use the fact that the function attains all its values on, e.g., $[0,p]$, which is compact.
