Craving sweets, chocolate, bread, and ice are often indicators warning that your body has a specific nutrient deficiency.
Sweet/sugar cravings are potassium deficiencies, chocolate is magnesium, bread is vitamin B1 and continual ice chewing is iron. Making sure your daily diet includes all the nutrients your body needs to be healthy will keep you from cravings.
If increasing foods containing the nutrients indicated by your cravings does not alleviate your craving symptoms within a few weeks contact me and I will see that you get the right whole food supplement product to get you back in healthy balance.
FYI- Most multi-vitamin products are not complete even if they claim otherwise. Nutrients come from real foods and most multi-vitamin products are made from synthesized crystalline vitamin fractions. We will discuss this in more depth in our next blog.
Here is a short list of foods to eat for each deficiency.
