sugar craving blues?
Whether you crave sugar, or
require bread or pasta with your meal to feel like you
have eaten, at one time or another you have probably
experienced the sugar craving blues. That one last bite
is simply irresistible.
Well, one method
of resisting is if you never really desire it in
the first place. So let us discuss factors that may lend
to your cravings.
Vitamin
B's are a key nutrient to preventing the blues,
sugar or otherwise. But Vitamin B is not stored in the
body and you may need to take them 3 to 4 times a day at
intervals to maintain sufficient levels. Many need to
take it with every meal to maintain a temperate mood,
and I invariably suspect Vitamin B deficiencies when a
patient complains of having the sugar craving
blues.
Parasites in the
body can also make a request from our blues
band. Parasites can make us either underweight or
overweight, weaken our system and if we don't play their
favorite number, become quite demanding. My office
supplies several products I have found effective in
treating and eradicating parasites so we can call our
own tune.
Water,
yet again, is vital to the body and drinking enough of
it can slow your eating down. Dehydration makes energy
levels flag and may lead to the body seeking "energy"
and thus, singing those blues. And remember you
need to drink water to get water - sadly
coffee, teas or juices don't
count.
Another one is
Potassium. Potassium helps regulate blood
sugar levels. When potassium levels start to drop the
body can start its song for sugar to "boost" energy
which then creates further depletions of Potassium as
the body draws on its reserves to cope with highs and
lows of sugar
consumption.
So
if your body sings the sugar craving blues its time for
a nutritional appointment. Call the office and schedule

Yours in good health,
