Does eating chocolate help relieve menstrual cramps?

I believe that many people like to eat chocolate, and some people think that dysmenorrhea can be relieved by eating chocolate. However, you cannot eat too much chocolate as it is high in calories. Eating too much chocolate can easily lead to excessive calorie accumulation and cause obesity.

1. Chocolate

Chocolate (English: chocolate, translated as "chocolate" in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao) comes from Central and South America. The ancestor of chocolate is "xocolatl", which means bitter water. It is a mixed food with cocoa beans as the main ingredient. Its main raw material, cocoa beans, is produced in a narrow strip within 18 degrees north and south latitude of the equator. Chocolate is rich in magnesium, potassium, vitamin A and theobroma, and therefore has a high energy value.

2. Can I eat chocolate during my period?

Proper consumption can help significantly increase the antioxidant content in the blood and relieve women's discomfort during menstruation.

The phenol complex contained in chocolate not only prevents the fat in chocolate from turning rancid, but can also be quickly absorbed into the blood vessels after being ingested, significantly increasing the antioxidant content in the blood. It quickly acts as a powerful antioxidant that prevents LDL oxidation and inhibits platelet activity in blood vessels. These essential substances play an important role in maintaining blood flow in human blood vessels. Therefore, it is good to eat some chocolate during menstruation, but don’t eat too much, as it is bad for your health.
