So you say chocolate is calling your name? You're not alone! From sugary sweets to salty treats, we all deal with cravings from time to time. Divine Caroline shares
four reasons you might be having a craving:
- You're pregnant. It may seem like an old wives' tale or fodder for a TV sitcom, but many pregnant women do experience cravings. Jacki recently told us that Rebecca Romijn does.
- You're premenstrual. Women can crave certain foods just before their periods.
- You have low insulin levels. When your insulin level or blood sugar is low, your body will naturally crave foods to correct the imbalance.
- You have low serotonin. When you're stressed, your body may send out signals for something to ease the pain.
When you understand your cravings, you can take control and make wiser and healthier decisions.
