6. Food cravings

Both before and during your period, you may experience increased food cravings. Women require more calories during their period than they do during the rest of their cycle. It is recommended that women consume around 500 extra calories during this time to avoid low energy levels and symptoms associated with a lack of energy. Fatty and sweet foods fit the bill perfectly. They are the best at increasing serotonin levels and your body wants them.
