Read More »While it is not ideal to binge on junk food, a treat to make you feel better is fine if it truly does make you feel better. Just be aware of how much you eat and try to opt for healthier comfort foods as well. If you need an incentive, a stimulant in chocolate – theobromine – can make pains worse if you are already dealing with cramps. No one needs more uncomfortable cramping, and the extra sugar would likely make you more emotional as you deal with PMS mood swings. A mix of the stimulant, the sugar and the caffeine can really heighten your unhealthy cravings at a time when you do not need it. Instead, try a calcium supplement to tide you over. While sugary chocolate can knock you off-balance, you can find some comfort in dark chocolate. With fewer sweeteners and more cocoa, it satisfies your desire for a dose of magnesium, without the sugar high and subsequent crash. It also helps your muscles relax, which can ease your cramps, and reduces other pains by boosting endorphins. Another positive is that dark chocolate’s omega-3 and omega-6 components help you to stay in a good mood and lower your stress levels. It can even improve your skin and boost your iron levels, giving you more energy. In short, small doses of sugary chocolate may help you to feel better in the short term, but opt for dark chocolate if you really need a fix. It may help you to cope with some of the other downsides of PMS. Disclaimer: This information aims to answer some of your questions or concerns.
