 Why Do We Get Cravings During Periods?





During your period, you might feel a strong urge to eat certain foods like chocolate, chips, or sweets. This happens because of hormonal changes. Estrogen and progesterone levels go up and down, affecting your mood and appetite. Your body may crave sugar and carbs to boost serotonin, the feel-good hormone. Also, low magnesium can make you want chocolate, which is high in magnesium.

How to Handle Period Cravings

1. Drink Water: Sometimes, thirst feels like hunger. Drink a glass of water before grabbing a snack.


2. Pick Healthy Snacks: Choose foods like dark chocolate, nuts, or whole grains. They can satisfy cravings without overloading on sugar.


3. Eat Balanced Meals: Include protein, healthy fats, and fiber in meals to keep your blood sugar steady.


4. Take a Break: Cravings can be worse when you're tired or stressed. Take a few deep breaths or go for a walk.


5. Rest and Relax: Try some gentle yoga, a warm bath, or a nap to soothe your body and mind.






Bottom Line

Cravings during periods are normal. Instead of fighting them, choose healthier options and practice mindful eating. Your body is just asking for some extra comfort and nutrients.

 Start Small, Stay Consistent When it comes to building healthy habits, consistency is more important than intensity—especially in the beginning. Choose any three days in a week to start your workout routine. Don’t push yourself too hard in the early stages; even a minimum effort is enough to set the foundation. Focus on improving your muscle strength, endurance, and overall stamina. Doing the same type of exercise every day can lead to boredom and imbalance—your body and muscles need variety. Target different muscle groups on different days to ensure balanced development and prevent fatigue. This approach will help you build a sustainable and effective workout schedule.
