Your Chocolate Cravings May Be Diet Related!
Sure, we all crave sweets from time to time! But if you’re someone with an immense chocolate craving, you may be lacking a key vitamin…Dr. Susan Yanovski, a co-director at the government’s Office of Obesity Research, has linked constant chocolate cravings to a lack of Magnesium in your diet.
A little chocolate every now and then isn’t a big deal, but when you can’t seem to shake that craving, it may be time to look into your Magnesium levels.
