Those food cravings…we’ve all experienced them! They have us dreaming about ice cream 24/7 and can be really hard to get rid of. But what’s causing them? Well, there are many reasons underlying those food cravings, but here are some you might be interested in:⠀⠀
⠀⠀
🍉Not eating balanced meals: Not having balanced meals and completely avoiding the food you crave may make these cravings worse. This can lead to overeating or feeling bad. If you’re craving some chocolate, just have some.⠀⠀
💦Irregular eating habits and dehydration: These can make food cravings worse.⠀⠀
When the body is very hungry, it may crave more calorie-dense foods than usual, including fried and processed foods. Instead of waiting for intense feelings of hunger, it is better to have a regular pattern of meals, water, and healthful snacks planned throughout the day to avoid potential cravings.⠀⠀
😱Nutritional deficiencies and hormonal imbalance: An imbalance of hormones, such as leptin and serotonin, can cause food cravings. It is mithin possible that food cravings are due to endorphins that are released non…the body after someone has eaten.⠀⠀
💤Lack of sleep: Not getting enough sleep can alter the body’s hormonal balance. This imbalance contributes to overeating.⠀⠀
🥕Extreme restrictions: Restricting yourself from enjoying the food you like, or not eating enough can make food cravings worse. Make sure you eat enough and that you listen to your hunger cues. ⠀⠀
💩Poor gut health: An imbalance of gut bacteria and a poor diet can lead to experiencing more sugar cravings. It’s important to keep your gut healthy!⠀⠀
