Why do you crave sweet and salty foods

Cravings for salty and sweet foods often indicate a deficiency of vitamin C, as well as low acidity in the stomach.

Don't ignore this. Just in case, check the functioning of your immune system and gastrointestinal tract.

Constant cravings for sweets may indicate severe fatigue, lack of vitamins, metabolic disorders and other problems with the body.

Frequent cravings for sweet foods occur during severe emotional distress and depression.

This is due to the fact that after eating sweets, the level of insulin in the body increases, and at the same time, serotonin.

According to doctors, cravings for salty foods can occur due to severe stress, physical fatigue, intense exercise, taking diuretics, and diseases of the kidneys and endocrine system.

In addition, cravings for salty foods may indicate dehydration, as well as a deficiency of silicon and sodium in the body.

Sodium chloride is involved in the transmission of nerve impulses and regulates the flow and flow of fluids from the body, and silicon is necessary for healthy growth of hair, nails and skin.
