Craving is bodys way of letting you know youre missing valuable nutrients. If you crave sweets you may be experiencing blood sugar fluctuations. Choose a piece of fruit preferably one thats not loaded with natural sugars, high-fiber food and complex carbohydrates that keep your blood sugar stable. Cravings for chocolate often indicate that your body may be deficient in magnesium. Reach for dark chocolate which is usually lower in sugar and higher in antioxidant Cravings for salty foods often mean chronic stress may be taking a toll on your adrenal glands. Getting on top of the stress in your life is essential. Try meditation, breathing exercises or other stress management techniques. Cravings for cheese or pizza often indicate a fatty acid deficiency, which is common since few people get enough omega-3 fatty acids. Most cravings are actually signals from our bodies that we are dehydrated but we misinterpret them as hunger pangs. By drinking a tall glass of water first, you may be giving your body exactly what it wants and alleviate the craving altogether. So before you reach for food to nix your cravings, quench them with some water. Then wait half an hour. More often than not, theyll be gone
