Chocolate
OK, OK, maybe chocolate isn't the most health-conscious food on the planet. However, chocolate does have positive effects on your mood by pumping up endorphins and serotonin, which help to give you an overall calm and pleasant feeling. And when you feel good, you look good. Who can argue with that?

Chocolate does release (or contain? help me out!) endorphins, a feel-good naturally thing in our bodies. It also has some sugar, so yeah...
Until a couple years ago, I never got the chocolate craving during my period. Now it's like if I don't have it when the period is there, it is DOOM. And I grew up laughing at the stereotype!

hi shiloh!
well i am not really sure if it has any effect on me. what i usually drink or take is coca cola. the caffeine in coke helps me. i dunno i guess to each his own.
my sister in law does that. a bar of chocolate during her menstrual period is enough for whatever she is feeling. they say that chocolate has a good effect psychologically because of the pleasing taste. hehe
but the calories are not good! lol it is soooo fattening!
anyway, take care and have a happy sunday! :)
