I suppose that it is logical that if you are losing blood, your body needs to replace it. And what better place to find the components of blood than in meat?!

When I have my period I sometimes crave 'heavy' food, particularly pasta. It was the same when I was pregnant, though I could have eaten cakes all day too then.
