JUST GOT TO HAVE CHOCOLATE
why? “Chocolate cravings can be a sign of a magnesium deficiency,” says emma ross, nutritionist at avogel.co.uk. “in the lead-up to a period – or during the menopause – you’re more at risk of being deficient in magnesium.”
Curb the Craving “Include lots of wholegrains, beans, nuts, seeds and green leafy vegetables in your diet to get your magnesium fix,” says Emma. If you must… eat a cube of dark chocolate (at least 50-70% cocoa solids): it’s a rich source of flavonoids and may help reduce blood pressure.
