Let's be honest with ourselves: if we didn't give into cravings every now and then, we would probably go clinically insane. After all, it's mostly in our heads, right? Be that as it may, some people would find it very beneficial to not only have the tips to ward off those cravings, but to also find healthy alternatives to those junk food urges!

That's where this amazing table of information comes in. Listed on this website are foods people sometimes crave. The foods are then matched to the element you're actually craving, and then presented is a healthy alternative to satisfy it! For example: if you're hankering for chocolate, you really need magnesium. So what do you eat instead? Try raw nuts, seeds, legumes, or fruits to quench the craving!

The same thing goes for coffee (eat eggs or try a red pepper), alcohol (granola or sun-dried black olives), even the urge to chew ice has a fix! There are over a dozen cravings and alternatives, so be sure to see if your favorite is on the list.
