HUNGER CRAVINGS<\/h1>\n

How many of us get cravings for certain foods? \u00a0How many of us give into those cravings? <\/span><\/h1>\n

There are a number of triggers that can produce cravings, including the obvious ones like seeing something or smelling it. \u00a0Recent studies have shown that simply thinking about a food can be just as tempting as seeing or smelling it. \u00a0Additionally, emotions can play a part in what we crave; I know that I have certain \u201ccomfort foods\u201d that I reach for when I\u2019m sad, angry, or just plain bored.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>So, what should you do about your cravings? \u00a0Well, denying yourself that food completely can make you crave it all the more. \u00a0Importantly, your body may be telling you that you are deficient in something. \u00a0Craving pretzels? \u00a0You might be low in sodium. \u00a0Craving cookies? \u00a0You may have low blood sugar.<\/p>\n

Or, you may just be hungry or thirsty. \u00a0Did you know that sometimes when you think you\u2019re hungry, your body may just be trying to tell you that you\u2019re thirsty? \u00a0Stay hydrated; try having a glass of water before giving into a craving. \u00a0Of course, be conscientious of your body, and if you have a medical condition, be sure to keep that in mind and act accordingly.<\/p>\n

Lastly, it is OK to sometimes give into the craving. \u00a0Just don\u2019t overindulge, or you\u2019ll be stuck with the guilt and the calories.<\/p>\n
