FOOD CRAVINGS


Last night I was craving chocolate BAD so I went into my lovely brain full of knowledge and reminded myself that my body must be screaming for MAGNESIUM! That's right..sometimes your body sends signals to your brain telling it that it is lacking a certain vitamin or mineral. Instead of running to the liquor store for your favorite Hershey's bar try a handful of raw nuts or seeds, grab a piece of fruit or add some black eyed peas to your dinner. This should help tame the beast without pilling on the calories.
