Chocolate contains a high dose of magnesium, which has proven to help soothe cramps and period pain, but it can also be a common migraine trigger. "Chocolate carries caffeine, which can help with migraines acutely, but long-term it will prolong the migraine cycle and could possibly make it worse," Virginia Thornley, MD, a board-certified neurologist and epileptologist in Florida, told POPSUGAR.
If you are craving chocolate, it's best to opt for dark chocolate, as it has healthier properties and benefits like regulating blood pressure and fighting fatigue prior to working out.
