Those intense chocolate cravings during your period aren’t just drama π«π — they’re real!
When estrogen and progesterone levels drop before menstruation, serotonin (the ‘feel-good’ hormone) also decreases. This can leave you feeling low in mood, tired, and reaching out for something sweet. π©✨
That’s why chocolate, especially dark chocolate, can give a quick serotonin boost and even add magnesium to help with cramps. πͺπ©Έ
So next time you find yourself holding that chocolate bar… don’t feel guilty. Science agrees: sometimes chocolate really is medicine! π"
πΈ Guidelines for Managing Period Cravings
Choose dark chocolate π« (70% or more) for better magnesium and antioxidants.
Balance snacks: add nuts, fruits, or yogurt to avoid sugar crashes.
Stay hydrated π§ — dehydration can worsen cramps and cravings.
Gentle exercise π§♀️ — even a short walk boosts endorphins and mood.
Don’t feel guilty ❤️ — listening to your body is part of self-care.
Sometimes… chocolate is medicine π«π
Period cravings are real — balance them with dark chocolate, water, and gentle self-care.
⚠️ Important: If you experience very heavy bleeding, severe cramps, or unusual symptoms, it’s always best to consult your doctor.
