This one is for the women out there. Let’s get to the point. Around your period time, a woman’s body becomes very low in magnesium. Other than tasting so good, chocolate is extremely high in magnesium. The problem is, most people eat poor quality chocolate which is very high in oxalic acid. This creates an acidic environment in your blood. After the sugar rush is over. You sort of crash which makes you even more irritable than before.
I have a better solution. Let's replace the chocolate with a few other foods that are high in magnesium. Spinach, swiss chard, salmon, sunflower seeds. There are hundreds of delicious sources: nuts and seeds, especially almonds; wheatgrass and barleygrass and powdered green superfoods; seaweeds like alaria, kombu, wakame, & nori; most beans; corn, rye, and rice -- the list goes on and on.
If you absolutely cannot fight the chocolate craving, I suggest that you get a high quality dark chocolate. Look on the label for at least 70% cocoa dark chocolate. Then, look on the ingredients to make sure the fat used is cocoa butter, which is a neutral fat, not bad or good for your heart.
This is the healthiest bar out there can be found here. One small piece will work. Try to brush your teeth too. Not sure that it works.
