Yes, and surprisingly enough, the more food and the more healthy food you eat on the days leading up to your period, the less heavy it will be. Women with anemia and deficiencies are known to have heavy periods. A good idea if you want a lighter period to take in a lot of calcium, magnesium, and iron in the week before your period.

Does eating chocolate make you get your period?

No, eating chocolate doesn't make you get your period. When you get your period is determined by your menstrual cycle, a domino effect of hormonal changes between your reproductive organs and brain - chocolate cannot effect this, let alone make your cycle skip a phase or speed-up your cycle. Many women crave chocolate before or during menstruation because the body requires additional magnesium during menstruation, which chocolate contains so your body associates with magnesium to crave it, and can require extra energy so may crave carbs if you normally fuel your body with carbs.
