Chocolate during menstruation: how to explain these cravings<\/strong> ?<\/strong><\/h1>\n

During menstru<\/strong>ation<\/strong>, women<\/strong> have strong cravings<\/strong> for sugar<\/strong> and sweet food<\/strong>. Especially for foods containing chocolate<\/strong>. No worries, all women<\/strong> have these needs and desires<\/strong>. But why this need to eat chocolate during menstruation<\/strong> ? What explains this attraction<\/strong> for chocolate<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

When the menstruation come, women<\/strong> control less what they eat. The diet<\/strong> is left out because the body changes temporarily during this week. Belly and chest swell, some pimples may appear. Hormones<\/strong> can also affect the mood<\/strong>. So you have to let go and have fun.<\/p>\n

C<\/strong>raving<\/strong> and desire<\/strong> for chocolate during menstruation<\/strong><\/h2>\n

1. Pre-Menstrual Syndrome<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The menstruation<\/strong> doesn\u2019t appear overnight. During some days, the body of the woman is preparing for this week of menstruation<\/strong>. At this point, the first signs appear. They can be physical, but also psychological with jumps of moods<\/strong> due to hormones<\/strong>. This goes through low morale, blues, chest and belly swelling but also headaches.<\/p>\n

These symptoms<\/strong> occur every month. They may be different, more or less strong, but they appear in all the cases. That’s why we talk about pre-menstrual syndrome<\/strong>. During this body preparation, you will begin to feel this need for chocolate<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. The need for serotonin<\/strong><\/h3>\n

During menstruation<\/strong>, the production of estrogen and progesterone increases. To counterbalance these hormones<\/strong>, the woman’s body<\/strong> needs serotonin<\/strong>. This element is present in the chocolate<\/strong>. <\/strong>\u00a0For this reason, you will feel a big desire<\/strong> of chocolate<\/strong>. You have the right to cede to your desire of eating a chocolate cake. This natural need is almost considered a biological need<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

To balance the production of hormones<\/strong> during periods<\/strong>, give yourself these little pleasures.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. The impact on mood<\/strong><\/h3>\n

We all know the ideas about women<\/strong> having their menstruation<\/strong> who get angry for nothing, or cry in front of the pictures of little cats. These are not just ideas. With excess hormones<\/strong> during menstruation<\/strong>, women can be overwhelmed emotionally.<\/p>\n

Chocolate<\/strong> is a food that helps manage these morale break downs. We don\u2019t consume it only when we have heartbreaks. During menstruation<\/strong>, chocolate<\/strong> boosts and helps to fight against morale downs. It\u2019s the best medicine especially during this phase of the month because it releases hormones of happiness.<\/p>\n

4. The power of chocolate during menstruation<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Beyond the happiness hormones<\/strong> that help the psychological side during menstruation, chocolate<\/strong> is a food rich in magnesium<\/strong>. This component is well known for its anti-inflammatory properties<\/strong>. During this week, the ovaries<\/strong> are working. Lower abdominal pain<\/strong> and pain in the kidneys <\/strong>can make the woman<\/strong> suffer. The benefits of chocolate reduce or relieve<\/strong> menstrual <\/strong>cramps<\/strong> and pain that occur as a result of contractions of the uterus<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s therefore beneficial for your physical condition and mental state to indulge and cede to your cravings for chocolate<\/strong>. Whether at 15H or 22H, forget the fact that you are nibbling. It\u2019s not because you do it once a month that it will become a daily habit.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. Chocolate does not make you fat<\/strong><\/h3>\n

All women<\/strong>, and sometimes men, are vigilant about their weight<\/strong> and food. This is the reason why when we have a desire<\/strong> to eat or to nibble, we struggle. But sometimes it’s good to have fun and not to put barriers. Especially during periods<\/strong>, women<\/strong> are more fragile ans sensitive. And many have made a cross on chocolate.<\/p>\n

But, it\u2019s important to know that dark chocolate doesn\u2019t make you fat. If you eat a few squares of dark chocolate, you will enjoy its benefits<\/strong>: rich in magnesium<\/strong>, release the hormones of happiness<\/strong> and above all don\u2019t get fat.<\/p>\n

This is another story for white chocolate or milk chocolate which are two types of very sweet chocolate. For dark chocolate<\/strong>, don\u2019t worry, you can consume it. You don\u2019t need to control your cravings<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
