Experiencing chocolate cravings during periods is common due to hormonal fluctuations and mood changes. Dark chocolate, in moderation, can provide comfort and even some relief from menstrual discomfort. Its magnesium content might help ease cramps and mood swings. Opt for higher cocoa percentages to enjoy potential health benefits while satisfying cravings. Balancing chocolate with nutrient-rich foods is key to managing cravings and supporting overall well-being during menstruation.
A study suggests that women who have high levels of inflammatory markers in their blood a week or two before they start their period are more likely to crave food like chocolate. However, another researcher says inflammation may not be driving these cravings, with unknown factors potentially being involved.
