What Do Your Cravings Tell You?

Cravings are something we think pregnant woman have. We think of the pickles and ice cream, and husbands running to the store at all hour trying to please the mother to be. That's not the only time cravings come up.

We live in an over processed world, where we are surrounded by images, smells, and opportunities that encourage bad eating habits. It's easy to let our cravings get the better of us.

Sometimes, a craving is your bodies way of telling you something is missing. Food cravings can be caused by hormones, blood sugar levels, and stress. When we give in to our cravings, we can be filling our bodies with all the wrong things that can actually over stimulate our brains! 

I have been following the Revolt Fitness program, and the intern Charolett Ann Reynolds has allowed my to post from her research some healthy ways to fill our bodies with the nutrients we need.
