Most people try to fight their cravings with willpower. But what if your body is actually trying to help you?
Cravings are often your body’s way of asking for specific nutrients or support. The key is to decode the signal, not suppress it.
Here’s what those cravings might really mean…
Craving chocolate?
You may be low in magnesium, which supports energy, mood, and nervous system regulation.
Craving salty snacks?
Your body might need electrolytes, especially sodium, potassium, and magnesium to support hydration and nerve function.
Craving sugar?
This often points to blood sugar imbalance and unstable energy levels.
Craving red meat?
You might be low in iron, especially if you feel tired or foggy often.
Craving fried food?
Your body could be signaling a need for healthy fats like omega-3s that support brain and hormone health.
Instead of judging the craving, ask what your body might really need. Then give it real nourishment, not a temporary fix.
