Did You Know That All The Unhealthy Food Cravings Denote Mineral Deficiency?!

Carvings for something sweet like chocolate, donuts, salty snacks, or refined crabs show that your body lacks minerals which may be found in unhealthy foods. A much better option would be healthy food and only minerals which come from natural sources will end your cravings.

.Chocolate – Magnesium – the most craving food is the chocolate, so the latest statistics shows 80% of people lack magnesium which is necessary for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body including relaxation. Moreover, anxiety, irritability, insomnia and high blood pressure indicate magnesium deficiency. Through this we get the point why magnesium deficient people feel better after having a chocolate bar as the small amounts of magnesium that comes from the cocoa relaxes them. However, the processed chocolate isn’t the healthiest source, and for that reason try eating more leafy greens, seeds, nuts, fish, beans, and blackstrap molasses. They are high in magnesium and will be able to deal with chocolate carvings.

.Sugary foods – Carbon, Phosphorus, Sulfur, Chromium, and/or Tryptophan – this is the most complex craving due to it being caused by these important nutrients: carbon which is one of the elements sugar is made of, phosphorus which stimulates energy production, sulfur which removes toxins, chromium which regulates blood sugar levels, and tryptophan which regulates serotonin. You can do some changes in your diet and re-mineralize your body.
.Refined carbohydrates – Nitrogen – its compounds are found in nucleic acid and protein and its deficiency results in malnutrition that is related to the protein deficiency. When you feel you want to eat bread or pasta, make yourself a nitrogen-rich meal instead, consisting of fruits and vegetables.
.Oily and fatty foods – Calcium – you most probably lack calcium, thus include milk, cheese, broccoli, and turnip greens in your dishes. This craving is less common, but it requires health experts.
.Ice – Iron – eat more leafy greens, meat, sea vegetables, and blackstrap molassa.
.Salty food – Chloride and/or silicon – eat more fish, nuts, and seeds.
