Those difficult days of periods… severe pain in the stomach and waist, cramps and lack of mind in any work … This story is about almost every girl and woman. Every month we either resort to a bottle of warm water to fight this pain or eat a painkiller by tired.
But what if we tell you that a very tasty and easy treatment of this pain is hidden in your own kitchen or fridge? And no, it is not a bitter herb or decoction, but it is such a thing that will also make your mood good by eating.
We are talking dark chocolate of!
Yes, the same dark chocolate, which you probably considered just a treat, can actually act like a ‘magical’ medicine for period pain.
So how does chocolate do this amazing?
This is not a magic, there is a simple science behind it:
- Treasure of magnesium: Dark chocolate (in which the amount of cocoa is 70% or more) is rich in magnesium. Magnesium is also called the ‘penciller of nature’. It acts as a relaxing muscles, which provides great relief in stomach cramps and tightness.
- Happy hormones: Eating chocolate releases hormones named ‘Endorphin’ in our mind. They are also called ‘Feel-Gud’ or ‘Happy’ hormones. They not only reduce the feeling of pain, but also help to remove mood swings and irritability during periods.
But pay attention, no chocolate will work!
Here we are not talking about sweet milk chocolate or cadbury. You have to eat the dark chocolate in which the amount of cocoa is between 70% to 85%. It may look slightly bitter in taste, but its benefits are precious.
How to use?
Whenever you feel mild pain or restlessness during periods, just keep one or two small pieces of dark chocolate in the mouth and eat it slowly.
Along with this, you can also try these small measures:
- Drink ginger hot tea.
- Syncai with a bottle of warm water on the lower abdomen.
- Do light stretching.
So the next time the pain of the periods is disturbed, try it before finding a pill of a painkiller. This a small change can give you great relief.
