Craving something salty? How about sweet? Our body\u2019s natural response to chemical imbalances is craving foods that can be quickly metabolized to make up for whatever we are missing. Unfortunately, these are often foods that are high in calories and carbohydrates therefore the response to eat them is almost always followed by guilt or regret. Understanding what kind of cravings you have and when you are having them is a key tool to outsmart the binge.<\/p>\n

Chocolate = Magnesium<\/h4>\n

If you are craving a few pieces of chocolate or those few pieces turns into the entire bar your body could be running low on Magnesium. Magnesium plays the role of regulating body pressure, keeping bones strong, and maintaining a normal heart beat. Magnesium is a crucial mineral for good health. Swap the sugary chocolate for raw nuts, seeds, legumes, and fruit.<\/p>\n

Sweets = Phosphorus, Carbon, and Sulfur<\/h4>\n

You should feel free to indulge once in awhile. If your sweet tooth kicks in too regularly you might be low on a few things including phosphorus, carbon, and Sulfur. Since these minerals are responsibly for many different areas it can be difficult to narrow down what the exact issues is. Fresh fruit, legumes, and grains cover the minerals mentioned above and would be a great starting point to see improvement.<\/p>\n

Bread = Nitrogen<\/h4>\n

Carbs! Bread is a staple in many diets but thick, white toast is not your friend. Low Nitrogen may be the culprit if you feel it\u2019s difficult to resist bread. Nitrogen is apart of all living systems and can be found in all protein. One of the easiest ways to improve nitrogen levels is to eat foods that are high in protein including meat, nuts, and beans.<\/p>\n

Salt = Chloride<\/h4>\n

Having a few chips to fill your craving for salt could turn into eating the whole bag. Chloride is the culprit for wanting something salty. Chloride is responsible for maintaining bodily fluids, blood volume, and blood pressure. Raw goats milk, unrefined sea salt, and fish are all great ways to naturally receive more Chloride.<\/p>\n

Soda = Calcium<\/h4>\n

If carbonated sodas are your drink of choice you could have a calcium deficiency. There have been numerous studies within the past decade warning consumers of harm caused by drinking soda pop regularly. It\u2019s not secret that calcium is essential for strong bones. Contrary to popular belief milk is not always the best way to get<\/p>\n

Exercise<\/h4>\n

A research in 2008 reviewed the effects of exercise on appetite regulations<\/a>. They concluded the study that the control group clearly established a role of exercise on appetite control. Remember to book a massage at Massage Works in fort Wayne<\/a> to keep your muscles in optimal shape when exercising.<\/p>\n
