Comfort foods are the best way to explain the relationship between food and happiness. Why does the thought of a steaming mug of coffee and a plate of fritters bring a smile to your face when it is raining? Is it just because they taste good or is it because of the happy memories associated with them? Or is it just because we have intense food cravings during our period? Even before the taste buds are awakened, it is the aroma of food that heightens our senses and comforts us.
Comfort foods are a kind of self-medication when your mood is drooping, especially on the dreaded first day of the period. A bag of fries, a bar of dark chocolate or spicy tacos? What lifts your spirits when you are feeling low? We asked our Nua family about their go-to comfort foods in the period days and here are their favorites.
