U know I know we all know la girls...and GUYS, pls do understand our cravings....dun say we eat like pigs or whatnots....YOU DUNNO HOW WE FEEL. Its like we can eat an entire cow.
Top food that women crave is CHOCOLATE. Yes? Correct?
When a woman is ovulating and closing to the M days, our need for magnesium increases like hell. And CHOCOLATE is rich in that stuff. So what to do if you crave for chocolate but you are watching your diet? Go for DARK CHOCOLATE of at least 65%.
Another thing we crave for is carbs. CARBS. CARBS. CARBS. Rice, noodles, potato, bread...you body needs extra energy to lose that uterus lining and toxins and stuff...go for good carbs like wholemeal bread, brown rice, wild rice, oatmeal...yea..no choice...white rice, noodles will tend to make you feel bloated cos b4 your period, your digestive system kinda 'shuts off' for a while and you get gassy easily. Avoid gluten as much as possible and gassy drinks.
One more thing that women crave, SALT. For some reason, potato chips will always attack my cravings. I would attack potato chips like NOBODY business. ESP salty ones and LAYS, RUFFLES...And I would eat them with coke. Eh, chips and coke go well tgt ok? But ah, CONTROL...CONTROL...CONTROL. When this craving of salt is strong, it usually means that you have a mineral deficiency...try to take a multivitamin pill daily, your salt cravings should reduce.
How to have a happy period?
Eat well, EXERCISE and SLEEP WELL.
Eat healthy, DO NOT skip meals, DO NOT starve yourself
And girls who are schooling or wad, DUN GIVE BULLSHIT that you are having cramps, cannot do work, cannot go to school, cannot do PE. GO AND EXERCISE. It will reduce your cramps. IT DOES, TRUST ME. The more you curl up like one ball on the bed, the worse it will become. Try to avoid taking pills for cramps, bad for your liver and kidneys.
Sleep is important for girls who are on their period or b4...your body needs to recover and rest from that bleeding period. Tired? SLEEP. Simple. No time to sleep? UP on iron intake and u should feel better.
Have a happy period!
