chocolate had mood elevating endorphins which can help especially at that time of the month and sometimes women will crave sweet things like chocolate.

Not all women. Not me. I like chocolate all month round lol. I don't know. Apparently chocolate has a special chemical in it. When you eat it, it makes you fell happy just like when you in love. So I think maybe thats why, I guess it makes them feel better and forget about the pain for a bit.

yearning chocolate on your era is a cliche I evaluate, besides the glaring incontrovertible actuality that women DO develop cravings commonly mutually as they are menstruating. besides the glaring incontrovertible actuality that once extra effective, this does no longer continuously advise chocolate. some women might want to crave goodies commonly, others might want to crave salty elements, and some women received't get any cravings in any respect.

Chocolate releases endorphins which can temporarily ease pain and elevate mood. Excerise also has the same effect on the body.

I'm not sure they necessarily do but it could be to do with the iron in chocolate. Blood loss results in a reduction of iron levels. I'm not sure though. I was severely anemic when I was pregnant with my second child and even the smell of chocolate made me throw up.

Chocolate has a chemical structure similar to cocaine, so you get a kind of anesthetic property to it

For me, it's because of the drop in blood-sugar. That would make a lot of sense. Women do lose a lot of blood on their periods.

it has endorphins that make you feel happy..
and i think it has something to do with comforting yourself. when you have your period you sometimes get emotional and stuff so chocolate is good to calm and comfort yourself.
:D
