4. Chocolate
This may be the most common food craving of them all. Chocolate is high in magnesium. Cravings for it often indicate that your body is deficient in magnesium, which is a common deficiency. It may also indicate a lack of chromium, B-vitamins or essential fatty acids. Dark chocolate is rich in magnesium and low in sugar, so it is the best option when satiating your cravings for chocolate. Furthermore, small amounts of dark chocolate also work wonders when lowering levels of stress and high blood pressure. People also crave chocolates when feeling upset or sad because chocolate is also related to emotional needs and is a mood booster (chocolate is metabolized to serotonin, the mood-boosting hormone). Instead of reaching for the chocolate next time you’re feeling down; exercise, listen to some upbeat music or watch a cute cat video on YouTube.
