Why Women Craved for Chocolates

Have a Chocolate Bar: Women in particular tend to crave chocolate, especially before their period, and there’s a good reason for it. Chocolate contains mood-lifting chemicals; it also increases endorphins and serotonin in the blood, promoting a sense of well-being. According to Aztec legend, cacao seeds come from paradise, and eating them brings wisdom and power. So give yourself a chocolate break, and notice the effect. After you indulge, don’t scold yourself. Experts believe that moderate amounts of treats are better than complete deprivation (which tends to lead to bingeing).
