We’ve all experienced unhealthy food cravings at some point in our lives.

Whether it’d be for some chocolate, salty chips or burgers, it’s really hard to resist.

To make matters worse, eating these highly processed foods doesn’t actually help get rid of the initial craving. It only makes you fat and weakens your immune system.

And the reason for that is because food craving is a warning sign that your body is in dire need of certain minerals.

每个人在生活中，几乎百分百都会在某些阶段对不健康的食物渴望或上瘾。

无论是一些巧克力，咸薯片还是汉堡，有时候真的是难以抗拒，欲罢不能，心心念念。

但糟糕的是，吃这些高度加工的食物之后，实际上并没有摆脱最初的渴望。结果它只会让我们发胖，并逐渐削弱我们的免疫系统。

究其原因，是因为对某些垃圾食物的渴望，其实是我们身体迫切需要某些矿物质的一个讯号。 

1. Chocolate 巧克力 

Easily one of the most commonly reported craving, chocolate is often linked with a lack of magnesium.

More than 80% of Americans have low levels of magneium. This mineral is needed for over 300 biochemical reactions in the body and is also known for its relaxation properties.

巧克力很容易成为最常报道的上瘾垃圾食品之一，常常与缺乏镁有关。

超过80％的美国人的镁含量很低。这种矿物质是人体进行300多种生化反应所必需的，并且还因其松弛特性而闻名。

2. Sugary Foods 含糖食品

This is the most complex craving to pin down, since deficiencies could be caused by a lack of these nutrients:

chromium (helps to regulate blood sugar levels)

phosphorus (helps the body produce energy)

sulfur (helps remove toxins)

tryptophan (a serotonin regulator).

The best way to end sugar cravings is to eat healthier, which will help remineralize your whole body.

这是最难解决的问题，因为缺乏这些营养素可能会导致营养不足：

铬（有助于调节血糖水平）

磷（帮助人体产生能量）

硫（有助于去除代谢垃圾毒素）

色氨酸（5-羟色胺调节剂）。

结束对糖渴望的最好方法是吃得更健康，这将帮助您的全身矿物质补充。也可以试试一些坚果。 

3. Refined Carbs  精制的碳水化合物 

If you’re craving carbs, chances are that you have a deficiency in nitrogen.

To overcome this, simply add more nitrogen-rich foods to your diet such as eggs, potato and legumes.

The following cravings are less common than those detailed above, but can still happen.

Oily and fatty foods: You are deficient in calcium. Good sources of calcium include greens and broccoli.

Ice: You are deficient in iron. Eat more iron-rich foods like leafy greens, blackstrap molasses and sea vegetables.

Salty foods: You are deficient in chloride and/or silicon. Try adding more fish, nuts and seeds to your diet.
