Are you craving for something lately and you feel like you must get it and eat it no matter what? Do you know that when you're craving for certain food, it actually is your body that tells you what it needs. Glamour UK Mag has written about it and here's what your craving really means:
Means that your body needs: protein
What to eat instead: meat, fish, chicken, eggs (have one in every meal and as 50%of your portion)
Means that your body needs: salt
What to eat instead: sushi-full of sodium, rich seaweed, fish, sardines on toast
Means that your body needs: magnesium
What to eat instead: nuts, seeds, whole grains (found in wholemeal bread) --- avoid sugar!!!
If you're craving for: caffeine
Means that your body needs: iron
What to eat instead: crudités veg or dried fruits (apricot&figs), liquorice for a sweeter snack
