Chocolate is something that is highly recommended by every woman on her periods. A lot of women crave chocolates when it’s the time of the month. This is a topic that is highly speculated and debated upon because no one knows for sure if it’s all in our heads or if there is even some kind of physiological benefit associated with eating chocolates when you’re on your menstrual cycle. You must know that even though it’s said that chocolate isn’t good for you health,it actually is and high-quality, dark chocolate is the best.

Since we were kids, it’s been imbibed in our brains  that chocolate is a junk food of the highest order and shouldn’t  be incorporated into a balanced diet. Normal milk chocolate is definitely high in sugar and fat but dark chocolate is very  different in comparison. High quality dark chocolate which is made with seeds of a cocoa tree along with raw cacao makes it rich in nutrients and a number of other antioxidants. If you want candy, always remember that raw cacao and dark chocolate is the healthiest available choice.

Why do you get chocolate cravings?

Cravings give an insight into the nutritional status of someone’s body. For example if you crave salt, you need more minerals. Needing more sweet can mean that your body requires protein. Why do you crave for chocolates? The answer to this is not absolute. We usually have chocolate cravings when your body needs healthy fats. If you’re on diet  and you’re consuming items with low fats then you will probably be craving chocolate only for the amount of fat content it has. Chocolate contains monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats which makes it the best chocolate gifts delivered.

If this sounds like something you would be doing  then you’re allowed to have a little dark chocolate from time to time.  You can consider adding other healthy supplements to it like avocado, olive oil, nuts and seafood to your diet. These constitute as healthy fats and can do wonders for your body. Going for an extremely low fat diet can be really bad for your fertility and health. When you make this change you get to reduce cravings and you also balance the fat intake.

Everybody needs a good amount of magnesium as well. Over 25 percent of all adults out there recommend a good amount of magnesium daily. If you’re craving chocolate it could be a sign that you need more magnesium. Usually a 100 gram of chocolate bar contains around 60 percent of the daily requirement of magnesium.

One of the very first signs of your body having a magnesium deficiency is cramping and muscle spasms. This  problem is usually pretty much magnified during a menstrual cycle when the natural contractions of a uterus increases. This magnesium deficiency can occur all the more if you take a lot of calcium supplements and don’t  counterbalance the magnesium.

If this description sounds like something right up your alley then you can have a little portions of dark chocolate on your periods and that’s okay. This is why a chocolate gift is always welcome.

 In addition to that you must also eat foods that are high in magnesium and calcium.
