Dark chocolate can help women experience premenstrual syndrome (PMS) less painfully. Indian scientists stated this.
Every month, 3-7 days before the start of menstruation, the level of estrogen and progesterone in the blood decreases in women. Such changes directly affect the level of serotonin, the pleasure hormone. Further, the general picture of PMS is known to everyone - a woman suffers from irritability, depression and fatigue.
Dark chocolate will help reduce the severity of all these symptoms. According to scientists, it contains magnesium and omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which have a positive effect on a person’s mood. In addition, this product does not contain milk and does not contain much sugar.
Experts also urge girls during PMS and menstruation to avoid foods that contain sugar, salt or caffeine and affect their emotional background. Scientists recommend doing physical exercise and walking more at this time.
