I have good news for you! Eating a small amount of high-quality
chocolate (typically that which has 65% or more “cacao”) may actually
help alleviate cramps and PMS.Why? Chocolate contains magnesium, which can help alleviate cramps and increase energy.
It also contains endorphins, or “happy hormones,” which can help improve your mood.
Finally, dark chocolate is high in antioxidants called flavonoids, which may have a positive impact on your health.
Before you use cramps or PMS as an excuse to over-indulge, please be aware that chocolate is high in fat and calories, so the best way to take advantage of its benefits is to limit yourself to a small amount – a couple of pieces or the equivalent of a quarter of a chocolate bar.
