Girls aged between 18 and 25 years were divided into seven groups (6 patients in each) as follows: group 1: fed control chocolate. group 2: fed chocolate with 3% cinnamon powder. group 3: fed chocolate with 0.25% cinnamon oil. group 4: fed chocolate with 3% ginger powder. group 5: fed chocolate with 0.25% ginger oil. group 6: fed chocolate with 3% mint powder. group 7: fed chocolate with 0.1% mint oil. Girls were fed 100g of chocolate daily for 3 months (The experiment Period). Results showed that feeding girls chocolate with cinnamon, ginger, and mint powder and their essential oils increased significantly (p<0.05) hemoglobin scores as compared with control chocolate. At the same time, the consumption of chocolate for three months did not cause an increase in body mass index. So, thus the previous results indicated that consumption of chocolates with cinnamon, ginger, and mint powder and their essential oils decreased significantly (p<0.05) serum total cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein, and low-density lipoprotein scores as compared with control chocolate. on the other hand, this study showed that eating chocolate containing (ajwa, dried fruits, cinnamon, ginger, and mint) and their essential oils effectively reduce menstrual pain and improve iron levels in the blood, which may be lost during the menstrual cycle. |
