Dream - Have you ever had such a strong desire to eat chocolate? Sometimes we even want to consume it in large portions. This can happen for days. Finally, we indulge in a large amount of chocolate. Did you know, Dream Friend, that this condition can actually relate to your health? There is a possibility that this is more than just a craving for sweet snacks.

Health experts explain that excessive craving for chocolate can be caused by nutritional deficiencies in the body. Nutritionist Rebecca Pinto emphasizes that every food craving is related to specific nutritional deficiencies.

The desire to constantly consume chocolate may be a sign of a lack of magnesium in the body. Who would have thought, behind the pleasure of biting into soft and sweet chocolate, our bodies may be signaling this need.

Chocolate consists of a mixture of cocoa powder, cocoa butter, and sweeteners. There are several types of chocolate that can be enjoyed, including dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and extra dark chocolate.

According to the International Journal of Food Sciences and Nutrition, dark chocolate with 90% cocoa content is rich in magnesium. Although 100 grams of dark chocolate contains about 252.2 mg of magnesium, consuming this type of chocolate may be difficult.

Pregnant women are advised to consume around 350-360 mg of magnesium per day, while breastfeeding mothers need 310-320 mg of magnesium. Report: Aisyah Cryshanty/ Source: NDTV Food
