There are times when a person really wants something specific or simply has a distinct taste. It could be a desire for sour, sweet, salty, fatty, burnt - the list goes on and on. Typically, a desire for foods of a specific taste may indicate a lack of certain substances in the body or a food that tastes poor.

Why do you want sour? This may depend on various factors, such as too much consumption of sweet foods, prolonged consumption of neutral foods, or a sharply increased need for vitamin C in the body (for example, during colds).

It’s one thing when the addiction appears for a short time and after receiving a certain dose of “sourness” disappears on its own. And it’s completely different when the desire to eat acidic foods persists for a long time and reaches the point of absurdity. In the first case, there is no reason to worry, but in the second, you should consult a doctor.

The desire to consume lemons and other citrus fruits in large quantities may indicate a lack of vitamin C, which is necessary for the functioning of many body systems and the formation of strong immunity.

Possible causes of acid deficiency

The desire for sour should not be ignored as a symptom that does not cause inconvenience. This may be the body’s physiological need for certain substances or signal a serious pathology. In any case, with any change in the habitual perception of tastes or desires, the state of the body should be considered under the prism of a hidden disease, which will prevent the development of serious health consequences in the future.

Diet

If you develop an addiction to a certain taste, you should first pay attention to your daily diet. The most common reason for craving sour foods is a lack of flavors or vitamins and minerals in the diet. This can be caused by a diet for the purpose of losing weight, when the body is “tortured” by endless hunger strikes and restrictions (for example, adherence to the same diet: chicken, vegetables or kefir). The appearance of taste preferences indicates a lack of vitamin and requires a reaction from the person. The symptom is eliminated by normal nutrition.

Proper nutrition should not only contain foods that are good for health, but also be varied in terms of different tastes

The second reason may be a commitment to healthy food, when a person monitors his diet and limits salty, fatty, fried, and smoked foods. This has a good effect on the general condition of the body, but the taste buds feel a “depletion” of tastes. The problem is solved by simply diversifying everyday dishes, adding various foods and sauces that have a sour or spicy taste. The list of dishes included in the diet may fully comply with the requirements for a healthy diet or be considered “junk food” - a slight deviation in the choice of dishes will not harm.

When there is an excess of hard-to-digest food, the body requires something sour to improve the digestion process, and “lightening” the diet will eliminate the desire for “sourness.”

Avitaminosis

Another reason is the lack or absence of vitamin C in food. You can talk about the development of vitamin deficiency if you want something sour and at the same time additional symptoms are pronounced:

• increased fatigue due to normal nutrition and while maintaining the usual load;
• pale skin;
• frequent colds (more than 4 times a year);
• changes in sleep patterns (insomnia at night accompanied by daytime sleepiness);
• fragility of blood vessels (expressed in the constant formation of small hemorrhages and “bruises” throughout the body);
• increased bleeding (in case of injury or causeless nosebleeds);
• severe headaches and joint pain;
• myalgia (muscle pain).

Important. The most serious problem of nutritional failure is the development of vitamin deficiency. Depletion of the body with a certain group of vitamins (or the occurrence of general hypovitaminosis) leads to the development of various diseases.

Infectious diseases

The most common reason why you want something sour is a lack of vitamin C. An infectious disease accompanied by hyperthermia requires an increased content of ascorbic acid, which is necessary for the production of interferon.

To speed up the healing process, together with a complex of therapeutic measures and substances, it is necessary to take vitamin C in an increased dosage (for colds, up to 1000 ml per day for adults and up to 250 for children).

Vitamin C, which is found in most sour-tasting foods, is necessary for the formation of interferon, which resists viral infections

When attacked by viruses, even without visible signs of a cold, the body may ask for something sour, so necessary to fight the infection.

Gastrointestinal diseases

In pathological processes of the gastrointestinal tract (especially of an inflammatory nature), a violation of acidity is observed. The body compensates for the lack of gastric juice production by consuming acidic foods. The most common diseases accompanied by a decrease in acidity are gastritis and stomach ulcers. In addition to stomach pathologies, cravings for sour foods can occur when the functioning of the liver and bile ducts is impaired.

Craving sour during pregnancy

During pregnancy, many women crave sour foods, which is considered normal and does not require correction.

The need for acidic foods during pregnancy arises for the following reasons:

1. Nausea in the first half of pregnancy. Early pregnancy is accompanied by a decrease in enzyme activity, which is manifested by nausea and vomiting (pregnant toxicosis). Consumption of acidic foods stimulates the gastrointestinal tract and reduces negative symptoms.
2. Acidic foods enhance calcium absorption. The formation of the skeleton of the unborn child requires a large amount of this mineral, so consuming sour foods in the first half of pregnancy is to help your baby develop.
3. Vitamin C is involved in the absorption of iron, which is necessary to maintain normal hemoglobin levels. In addition to helping in the absorption of iron, vitamin C is necessary for maintaining the mother’s immune system at a high level, and is also actively absorbed by the child during the formation of connective tissue and the cardiovascular system. To satisfy the need for sour foods, it is recommended to consume tomatoes, cherries, grapes, lemon, black currants, which will provide the body not only with ascorbic acid, but also with various vitamins and microelements.

Usually, the desire for a certain food product indicates a deficiency of some substance, for example, with calcium deficiency, there is a need for fermented milk

Important. Pregnancy may be accompanied by an increase in the body's need for sour, sweet, bitter and other tastes, which is due to the body's protective regulation of the lack of any substances required for the normal well-being of a woman or for the full growth of the baby.

Craving certain foods that taste sour

In addition to the desire to eat sour, the body may “ask” for a certain product from the general range that has this taste, which indicates a lack of certain nutrients or minerals. Let's look at it in more detail below.

Sour berries and fruits

Why do you want lemon, blackcurrant or cranberry? Typically, the desire for these berries signals a lack of ascorbic acid and potassium. The intake of these substances is important for the full functioning of the cardiovascular, digestive and immune systems. You can replace these products with ascorbic acid or a complex of vitamins with a high content of vitamin C and potassium.

Dairy products

The body's need for milk, kefir, snowball and other milk-based products indicates an increased need for calcium. With a lack of calcium, osteoporosis develops - increased fragility of bones. In addition to calcium, dairy products are rich in essential amino acids: tryptophan, leucine and lysine. They are necessary to maintain internal homeostasis. Fermented milk products are also rich in prebiotics, which are necessary for intestinal function and complete absorption of food.

If you want sauerkraut for a long time, you should find out the reason. This may indicate a lack of vitamins (C, PP) and minerals necessary for the full functioning of the intestines. The need for the substances contained in this product increases with severe emotional stress, prolonged stress or exhaustion of the nervous system.

A long-term addiction to sauerkraut may signal exhaustion of the nervous system or a genitourinary infection.

Also, the desire to consume sauerkraut may be the cause of an infection in the genitourinary area, which may be asymptomatic.

I want something...
Peanuts, peanut butter.
The desire to chew peanuts, according to scientists, is inherent primarily in residents of megacities. If you have a passion for peanuts and legumes, it means your body is not receiving enough B vitamins.
Bananas.
If the smell of ripe bananas makes you dizzy, then you need potassium. Banana lovers are usually found among those who take diuretics or cortisone drugs, which “eat up” potassium. A banana contains about 600 mg of potassium, which is a quarter of the daily requirement of an adult. However, these fruits are very high in calories. If you are afraid of gaining weight, replace bananas with tomatoes, white beans or figs.
Bacon.
A passion for bacon and other smoked meats usually overcomes people on a diet. Limiting fat-containing foods leads to a decrease in cholesterol levels in the blood, and smoked meats are precisely the product that contains the most saturated fat. If you don’t want to negate the effect of the diet, don’t give in to temptation.
Melon.
Melons contain a lot of potassium, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, as well as vitamins A and C. People with weak nervous and cardiovascular systems have a special need for them. By the way, half an average melon contains no more than 100 kcal, so you won’t be afraid of extra pounds.
Sour fruits and berries.
Cravings for lemons, cranberries, etc. observed during colds, when a weakened body experiences an increased need for vitamin C and potassium salts. Those who have problems with the liver and gall bladder are also drawn to sour things.
Paints, plaster, earth, chalk.
The desire to chew all this usually occurs in children, teenagers and pregnant women. It indicates a deficiency of calcium and vitamin D, which occurs during the period of intensive growth in children and the formation of the fetal skeletal system during pregnancy. Add dairy products, eggs, butter and fish to your diet - this can easily correct the situation.
Onions, garlic, spices and seasonings.
As a rule, people with respiratory problems experience an urgent need for spices. If a person is craving garlic and onions and spreads mustard on his bread instead of jam, he may have some kind of respiratory disease on his nose. Apparently, in this way - with the help of phytoncides - the body tries to protect itself from infection.
Milk and dairy products.
Lovers of fermented milk products, especially cottage cheese, are most often people in need of calcium. A sudden love for milk can also arise due to a lack of essential amino acids - tryptophan, lysine and leucine.
Ice cream.
Ice cream, like other dairy products, is a good source of calcium. But people with impaired carbohydrate metabolism, suffering from hypoglycemia or diabetes mellitus have a special love for it. Psychologists see love for ice cream as a manifestation of longing for childhood.
Seafood.
A constant craving for seafood, especially mussels and seaweed, is observed with iodine deficiency. such people need to buy iodized salt.
Olives and olives.
The love for olives and olives (as well as pickles and marinades) arises due to a lack of sodium salts. In addition, addiction to salty foods occurs in people with thyroid dysfunction.
Cheese.
It is loved by those who need calcium and phosphorus. Try replacing cheese with cabbage and broccoli - it contains much more of these substances and almost no calories.
Butter.
A craving for it is observed among vegetarians, whose diet is low in fat, and among residents of the North who lack vitamin D.
Sunflower seeds.
The desire to chew the seeds most often arises among smokers who are in dire need of antioxidant vitamins, which sunflower seeds are rich in.
Chocolate.
The love for chocolate is a universal phenomenon. However, caffeine addicts and those whose brains especially need glucose love chocolate more than others.

SWEET. Perhaps you are working your butt off and have already gotten on your nerves. Glucose is actively involved in the production of the stress hormone - adrenaline. Therefore, with nervous and mental overstrain, sugar is consumed faster, and the body constantly requires new portions.
In such a situation, treating yourself to sweets is not a sin. But it’s better not to gobble up pieces of rich cakes (they contain a lot of heavy carbohydrates), but limit yourself to chocolate or marshmallows.
SALT. If you attack pickled cucumbers, tomatoes and herring like a beast, if the food always seems under-salted, we may be talking about an exacerbation of old inflammation or the emergence of a new source of infection in the body.
Practice shows that most often these problems are associated with the genitourinary system - cystitis, prostatitis, inflammation of the appendages, etc.
SOUR. This is often a signal of low stomach acidity. This happens with gastritis with insufficient secretory function, when little gastric juice is produced. This can be checked using gastroscopy.
Also, food with a sour taste has cooling, astringent properties, helps relieve colds and fever, and stimulates appetite.
BITTER. Perhaps this is a signal of intoxication of the body after an untreated disease or slagging of the digestive system.
If you often want something with a bitter taste, it makes sense to arrange fasting days and engage in cleansing procedures.
BURNING. The dish seems bland until you throw half a pepper shaker into it, but your feet lead you to a Mexican restaurant? This may mean that you have a “lazy” stomach; it digests food slowly and needs a stimulus to do so. And hot spices and spices stimulate digestion.
Also, the need for spicy food may signal a violation of lipid metabolism and an increase in the amount of “bad” cholesterol. Spicy food thins the blood, promotes the removal of fats, and “cleanses” blood vessels. But at the same time it irritates the mucous membrane. So don't load up on chili and salsa on an empty stomach.
Astringent. If you suddenly have an unbearable desire to put a handful of bird cherry berries in your mouth or you can’t calmly pass by persimmons, your defenses are weakening and urgently need replenishment.
Products with an astringent taste promote the division of skin cells (help heal wounds) and improve complexion. They help stop bleeding (for example, with fibroids), remove phlegm in case of bronchopulmonary problems.
But astringent foods thicken the blood - this can be dangerous for people with increased blood clotting and a tendency to form blood clots (varicose veins, hypertension, some heart diseases).
FRESH. The need for such food often arises with gastritis or stomach ulcers with high acidity, constipation, as well as problems with the liver and gall bladder.
Fresh food weakens, helps relieve cramping pain, and soothes the stomach.

Chocolate-sweet passion
More often than others, caffeine fans and those whose brains especially need glucose suffer from “chocolate addiction.” This also applies to other sweets. If you eat an unbalanced diet, your body will also need glucose - as the fastest source of energy. Namely, chocolate copes with this task perfectly. But keep in mind that this product contains a lot of fat, the excess of which is dangerous for your blood vessels and figure.
*** Eat more vegetables and cereals - they are rich in complex carbohydrates. And for dessert, choose dried fruits or honey with a small amount of nuts.
Cheese passion
Spicy, salty, with or without spices... You cannot live a day without it, its taste drives you crazy - you are ready to consume kilograms of it (in any case, you eat at least 100 g per day). Nutritionists claim that cheese is loved by those who have an urgent need for calcium and phosphorus. Of course, cheese is the richest source of these much-needed and extremely beneficial substances for the body, but fats...
*** Try replacing cheese with broccoli cabbage - it has a lot of calcium and phosphorus, but almost no calories. If your body accepts milk well, drink 1-2 glasses a day, and eat cheese little by little (no more than 50 g per day) and together with raw vegetables.
Passion sour lemon
Perhaps your diet is dominated by difficult-to-digest foods, and the body is trying to increase the acidity of gastric juice to make its work easier. When you have a cold, you may also be drawn to sour fruits and berries - an excellent source of vitamin C.
*** Choose meals with moderate fat content and do not mix many foods in one sitting. Avoid fried, overly salted and overly spicy foods, as well as those that have undergone excessive heat treatment. If you notice problems with digestion (especially in the liver and gallbladder), be sure to be examined by a gastroenterologist.
Smoked passion
A passion for smoked meats and similar delicacies usually overcomes those who are on an overly strict diet. Long-term restriction of fat-containing foods in the diet leads to a decrease in the level of “good” cholesterol in the blood, and smoked foods contain a sufficient amount of saturated fat.
*** Don't get carried away with low-fat foods - choose one that still contains a little fat. For example, buy yogurt, kefir or fermented baked milk with one or two percent fat content. Eat at least a tablespoon of vegetable oil and a teaspoon of butter per day, even if you are on a strict diet. Scientists have experimentally proven that those who consume a sufficient amount of fat lose weight faster.
Food passions and diseases
Onions, garlic, spices and seasonings. An urgent need for these foods and spices usually indicates problems with the respiratory system.
Olives and olives. Such an addiction is possible due to a disorder of the thyroid gland.
Ice cream. People with carbohydrate metabolism disorders, hypoglycemia or diabetes mellitus have a special love for it.
Bananas. If the smell of ripe bananas makes you dizzy, pay attention to the state of your heart.
Sunflower seeds. The desire to chew seeds most often occurs among those who are in dire need of antioxidant vitamins. This means that there are a lot of free radicals in your body - the main provocateurs of premature aging.

IN You are anxious, stressed and want to relax and unwind. Milk contains an essential amino acid from which the neurohormone serotonin is produced. It makes us feel less anxious and improves our mood and sleep. Your muscles also require calcium in order to contract rhythmically and not suffer from overstimulation.

What to do?

TO Every evening drink a glass of warm milk or have a serving of yogurt for dinner. Prepare homemade cottage cheese casserole.

IN You don't have enough cholesterol and fat to keep your brain active and maintain normal hormonal levels. Smoked meat is high in saturated fatty acids and cholesterol. Spicy smoked meats also stimulate libido.

What to do?

B indulge in smoked meats twice a week, but not more often, as they have carcinogenic properties. An excellent source of saturated fatty acids is butter (30 g per day). A craving for smoked foods among dieters suggests that it’s time to increase the amount of fat in the diet through avocado, nuts and vegetable oil.

N and table salt is consumed when metabolism accelerates, which happens with increased activity of the thyroid gland, or during intense physical work, or during pregnancy. Cravings for salty foods indicate the body’s desire to conserve strength and at the same time accumulate more energy.

What to do?

E If you really crave it, eat a whole herring or a can of sprat today. But tomorrow, try to make up for the deficiency with mineral water (Essentuki No. 17 or No. 20, two glasses a day before breakfast or lunch), because a large amount of salt retains fluid in the body and increases blood pressure.

IN Your immunity requires strengthening it with high-quality proteins and ready-made vitamin A from egg yolk.

What to do?

H Cook yourself scrambled eggs or an omelette of three eggs four times a week.

E If you are a woman, you are prone to premenstrual syndrome with swelling, muscle cramps and bad mood. You lack milk fats combined with phosphorus.

What to do?

P It is best to consume 100 g of hard cheese every day. But given its high calorie content, try limiting yourself to 30 g of cheese, 200 g of Brussels sprouts and 100 g of spinach.

IN You are in a pre-depressive state or simply work very hard and need a lot of energy. Perhaps your stomach acidity is slightly reduced. Acidic vegetables and fruits contain a lot of vitamin C.

What to do?

N Start your breakfast with a large orange. Include sweet bell peppers and lemons in your menu every day.

IN I'm most likely lacking iodine.

What to do?

P The best thing, of course, is to eat 150 g of mussels or 250 g of crab salad daily. But it is much cheaper to constantly use iodized salt and prepare seaweed salads.

U you are about to develop a cold. You are overwhelmed by germs and viruses, and your immunity requires phytoncides (natural disinfectants).

What to do?

P Chew a clove of garlic and it will kill germs in your mouth. In addition, add fresh onions, garlic and other hot spices wherever possible.

IN We are at risk of problems with the intestines, and the beneficial microbes living there call on lactic acid bacteria to their aid.

What to do?

P pay for kefir, sour cream and yoghurts with dietary supplements that restore normal intestinal microflora.

U you have low blood pressure and very active mental activity. You need an additional source of energy.

What to do?

P Drink as much coffee as you want. The body will report an overdose with an accelerated heartbeat, and tomorrow you will drink less coffee. Try to sleep eight hours or more to keep your blood vessels toned and your blood pressure normal.

IN You long to love and experience reciprocal feelings. You lack physical affection, warmth, and a sense of joy in life. Chocolate contains stimulants that can evoke positive emotions.

What to do?

N Do not deny yourself pleasure, while remembering that chocolate has a lot of calories.

AND The desire to chew seeds indicates a vitamin E deficiency, resulting in dry skin.

What to do?

G Cook salads in unrefined vegetable oil, where the concentration of vitamin E is much higher.

P A burst of love for ice cream speaks of an attempt to return to childhood.

What to do?

IN Time cannot be turned back, so we will have to solve problems in the present. Lean on whole grain bread - it will eliminate fluctuations in blood glucose levels and calm your nerves.

E If you do not adhere to a vegetarian lifestyle (and in this case, your body clearly yearns for saturated fats), then such a desire indicates a deficiency of vitamin D, which is necessary to strengthen the immune system.

What to do?

P pay for natural butter for sandwiches. Drink tea or coffee with high-quality butter cookies (2-3 pieces per day). You can indulge in fatty cakes a couple of times a month. But don't deceive your body and make sure that cakes and cookies contain butter and not substitutes.

If you sometimes have a desire to eat a certain product, then you should listen to your body, sometimes in this way your body signals a lack of certain substances in the body or some internal problems.

Listen to your body and find out what it needs.

If you I want to eat watermelon- This can be caused by kidney and bladder diseases. Watermelon pulp has a diuretic effect and does not allow the body to lose the potassium it needs.

If I want to eat cabbage- this may indicate problems with the gastrointestinal tract. The fiber contained in cabbage increases intestinal tone, tartronic acid helps digest food, and vitamin U helps heal ulcers.

I want a lemon- possible problems with the gallbladder and liver. Lemon stimulates the production of digestive juices, and vitamin C relieves inflammation and destroys bacteria.

Why do you want chocolate?- your body asks for magnesium, and it is found in fresh nuts, beans and fruits. You want to eat chocolate if you get tired easily or are depressed. Chocolate contains flavonoids that improve mood; cocoa helps produce the joy hormone serotonin.

If you want to eat olives, olives, tuna - this may indicate deficiencies in the thyroid gland. Black olives contain a lot of iodine, and tuna contains the amino acid tyrosine. With a lack of these substances, the thyroid gland cannot fully produce hormones.

if you I want ice cream or when you I want cottage cheese the body signals about problems with the musculoskeletal system: osteochondrosis, arthrosis, arthritis. The body needs calcium.

If you want carrots- possible problems with the skin, mucous membrane, as well as decreased vision and weakness. Carrots contain a lot of vitamin A, which is good for the skin and visual organs.

Why do you want to eat meat?. Protein and iron contained in meat foods are necessary for creating immune cells and maintaining energy in the body. You constantly want to eat meat when you lack energy and have a weakened immune system.

If I want oatmeal- problems with the gastrointestinal tract: exacerbation of gastritis, colitis, pancreatitis, gastric ulcer. Oatmeal envelops the walls of the stomach, protecting it, and fiber improves the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract.

If I want fish- nervous and mental fatigue. Fish contains a lot of phosphorus and iron, they improve the functioning of the nervous system and help the brain work efficiently.

When I want cheese- with low blood pressure (hypotension). Sodium salts and fats contained in salty, fatty cheese raise blood pressure.

If I want persimmons- vegetative-vascular problems, lack of energy, as well as dysbiosis are possible. Persimmons contain a lot of glucose, beneficial vitamins and minerals that tonic and strengthen blood vessels, pectin and fiber normalize the functioning of the stomach.

I want to eat apples, I want melon with elevated cholesterol levels in the blood, problems with the heart and blood vessels. These fruits contain a lot of pectin and fiber, which bind and remove bad cholesterol from the body, reduce the risk of blood clots, and have a beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system, reducing the risk of stroke.

Even loss of appetite signals a lack of vitamins B1 and B3, manganese and chlorine, and conversely, overeating indicates a lack of silicon, tryptophan and tyrosine.

If your appetite increases before and during your period, it means you don’t have enough zinc.

If there is an unexpected craving for tobacco, this indicates a lack of silicon and tyrosine.

I have two wonderful children!!! Two hopes, two big lights!!! Time rushes along a wide highway, I have two youths left!!! Life burns in me inextinguishably, I have two eternities - a DAUGHTER and a SON!!!

Why do you want white cabbage or apples?

The fact is that each product contains a set of minerals that are necessary for our internal organs. If any organ begins to experience problems associated with a lack of these substances, the body signals this to us by the desire to eat a product containing them.

What the body lacks, if you want it.

Listen to your body - it signals a lack of certain substances

Sometimes you want to taste pickles, sometimes chocolate, and sometimes sprat in tomato. What is it for? Should you listen to the whims of your body? Taste preferences always have a real physiological basis: the body lacks something, and it reports about it. This is the process of natural self-regulation of our good mood, health and well-being.

Listen to your desires, and you will know what kind of life you should lead and what to eat in the next four weeks. Why four? Because our goal is to make adjustments to the functioning of the hormonal system with a properly selected diet and daily routine. But such serious things are not done quickly.

1. I want milk, yogurt, cottage cheese

You are anxious, stressed and longing to relax and unwind. Milk contains an essential amino acid from which the neurohormone serotonin is produced. It makes us feel less anxious and improves our mood and sleep. Your muscles also require calcium in order to contract rhythmically and not suffer from overstimulation.

2. I want raw smoked sausage

3. I want something salty: olives, herring, pickles

4. I want scrambled eggs or eggs in any form

Why you want sour - a simple way to signal the body about an impending storm

There are times when a person really wants something specific or simply has a distinct taste. It could be a desire for sour, sweet, salty, fatty, burnt - the list goes on and on. Typically, a desire for foods of a specific taste may indicate a lack of certain substances in the body or a food that tastes poor.

Why do you want sour? This may depend on various factors, such as too much consumption of sweet foods, prolonged consumption of neutral foods, or a sharply increased need for vitamin C in the body (for example, during colds).

It’s one thing when the addiction appears for a short time and after receiving a certain dose of “sourness” disappears on its own. And it’s completely different when the desire to eat acidic foods persists for a long time and reaches the point of absurdity. In the first case, there is no reason to worry, but in the second, you should consult a doctor.

Possible causes of acid deficiency

Diet

If you develop an addiction to a certain taste, you should first pay attention to your daily diet. The most common reason for craving sour foods is a lack of flavors or vitamins and minerals in the diet. This can be caused by a diet for the purpose of losing weight, when the body is “tortured” by endless hunger strikes and restrictions (for example, adherence to the same diet: chicken, vegetables or kefir). The appearance of taste preferences indicates a lack of vitamin and requires a reaction from the person. The symptom is eliminated by normal nutrition.

The second reason may be a commitment to healthy food, when a person monitors his diet and limits salty, fatty, fried, and smoked foods. This has a good effect on the general condition of the body, but the taste buds feel a “depletion” of tastes. The problem is solved by simply diversifying everyday dishes, adding various foods and sauces that have a sour or spicy taste. The list of dishes included in the diet may fully comply with the requirements for a healthy diet or be considered “junk food” - a slight deviation in the choice of dishes will not harm.

When there is an excess of hard-to-digest food, the body requires something sour to improve the digestion process, and “lightening” the diet will eliminate the desire for “sourness.”

Avitaminosis

Another reason is the lack or absence of vitamin C in food. You can talk about the development of vitamin deficiency if you want something sour and at the same time additional symptoms are pronounced:

• increased fatigue due to normal nutrition and while maintaining the usual load;
• pale skin;
• frequent colds (more than 4 times a year);
• changes in sleep patterns (insomnia at night accompanied by daytime sleepiness);
• fragility of blood vessels (expressed in the constant formation of small hemorrhages and “bruises” throughout the body);
• increased bleeding (in case of injury or causeless nosebleeds);
• severe headaches and joint pain;
• myalgia (muscle pain).

Important. The most serious problem of nutritional failure is the development of vitamin deficiency. Depletion of the body with a certain group of vitamins (or the occurrence of general hypovitaminosis) leads to the development of various diseases.

Infectious diseases

The most common reason why you want something sour is a lack of vitamin C. An infectious disease accompanied by hyperthermia requires an increased content of ascorbic acid, which is necessary for the production of interferon.

To speed up the healing process, together with a complex of therapeutic measures and substances, it is necessary to take vitamin C in an increased dosage (for colds, up to 1000 ml per day for adults and up to 250 for children).

When attacked by viruses, even without visible signs of a cold, the body may ask for something sour, so necessary to fight the infection.

Gastrointestinal diseases

In pathological processes of the gastrointestinal tract (especially of an inflammatory nature), a violation of acidity is observed. The body compensates for the lack of gastric juice production by consuming acidic foods. The most common diseases accompanied by a decrease in acidity are gastritis and stomach ulcers. In addition to stomach pathologies, cravings for sour foods can occur when the functioning of the liver and bile ducts is impaired.

Craving sour during pregnancy

During pregnancy, many women crave sour foods, which is considered normal and does not require correction.

The need for acidic foods during pregnancy arises for the following reasons:

1. Nausea in the first half of pregnancy. Early pregnancy is accompanied by a decrease in enzyme activity, which is manifested by nausea and vomiting (pregnant toxicosis). Consumption of acidic foods stimulates the gastrointestinal tract and reduces negative symptoms.
2. Acidic foods enhance calcium absorption. The formation of the skeleton of the unborn child requires a large amount of this mineral, so consuming sour foods in the first half of pregnancy is to help your baby develop.
3. Vitamin C is involved in the absorption of iron, which is necessary to maintain normal hemoglobin levels. In addition to helping in the absorption of iron, vitamin C is necessary for maintaining the mother’s immune system at a high level, and is also actively absorbed by the child during the formation of connective tissue and the cardiovascular system. To satisfy the need for sour foods, it is recommended to consume tomatoes, cherries, grapes, lemon, black currants, which will provide the body not only with ascorbic acid, but also with various vitamins and microelements.

Important. Pregnancy may be accompanied by an increase in the body's need for sour, sweet, bitter and other tastes, which is due to the body's protective regulation of the lack of any substances required for the normal well-being of a woman or for the full growth of the baby.

Craving certain foods that taste sour

In addition to the desire to eat sour, the body may “ask” for a certain product from the general range that has this taste, which indicates a lack of certain nutrients or minerals. Let's look at it in more detail below.

Sour berries and fruits

Why do you want lemon, blackcurrant or cranberry? Typically, the desire for these berries signals a lack of ascorbic acid and potassium. The intake of these substances is important for the full functioning of the cardiovascular, digestive and immune systems. You can replace these products with ascorbic acid or a complex of vitamins with a high content of vitamin C and potassium.

Dairy products

The body's need for milk, kefir, snowball and other milk-based products indicates an increased need for calcium. With a lack of calcium, osteoporosis develops - increased fragility of bones. In addition to calcium, dairy products are rich in essential amino acids: tryptophan, leucine and lysine. They are necessary to maintain internal homeostasis. Fermented milk products are also rich in prebiotics, which are necessary for intestinal function and complete absorption of food.

Sauerkraut

If you want sauerkraut for a long time, you should find out the reason. This may indicate a lack of vitamins (C, PP) and minerals necessary for the full functioning of the intestines. The need for the substances contained in this product increases with severe emotional stress, prolonged stress or exhaustion of the nervous system.

Also, the desire to consume sauerkraut may be the cause of an infection in the genitourinary area, which may be asymptomatic.

Important. A pronounced addiction to a certain product or sour taste often signals a pathological process in the body. Ignoring these signs allows the disease to spread and get stronger, causing a disruption in overall health, and sometimes even life expectancy. If you experience a craving for sour foods, you should visit a doctor and undergo the examination prescribed by him, and then treatment. This tactic will allow you to maintain your health at a high level, and at the same time avoid possible complications.

Possible reasons for taste preferences:

But perhaps it would be more correct to treat not the effect, but the cause?

I can eat it in unlimited quantities.

Why do you want cabbage

Every vegetable and fruit has a vitamin that is its calling card. Scientists have discovered that such a “business card” of white cabbage is vitamin U - methylmethionine.

As it turned out, it is able to cure gastric and duodenal ulcers, ulcerative colitis, gastritis and intestinal lethargy. An equally worthy property of cabbage is the ability to retain vitamin C for a long time. It can be present there in the same concentration for 7-8 months. Not a single vegetable can boast of such a feature. The secret of this “longevity” is that vitamin C is found in cabbage not only in its pure form, but also in a chemically bound form. This form is called “ascorbigen”. The valuable vitamin is not destroyed during storage and during fermentation. Even moderate heat treatment will not harm it, since ascorbigen is converted into ascorbic acid. Cabbage vitamin C performs many biological functions in our body. And since in the spring many chronic diseases worsen, this is where cabbage comes to the rescue. Crunch for your health!

Why do you always want sauerkraut?

Why do you always want sauerkraut?

The human body knows how to protect itself. It gives signals and a person feels that he wants something. Sauerkraut eaten in time, when the stomach asks for it, will help save you from a cold. This means that the body needs the vitamins and substances contained in sauerkraut.

Sauerkraut is a great source of vitamin C, and your body may currently be lacking it.

There are other explanations for why you always want this kind of cabbage, excluding pregnancy, of course.

This craving may indicate severe or chronic stress.

This can be caused either by anxiety or chronic fatigue and is associated with your nervous system.

At such a moment, we really need the mineral salts that are in this product. And this is also a sign that a focus of some kind of infection has arisen, most likely in the urinary or genital area.

And therefore it is necessary to find out the cause and eliminate it.

If you constantly want to eat sauerkraut, then this is just wonderful. The fact is that sauerkraut is very useful for the human body because it contains vitamin C. In addition, scientists have found that sauerkraut has a preventive effect against cancer. Broccoli also has preventive properties against cancer.

There may be at least two reasons:

1. Lack of vitamins and other useful elements in the body;

2. Perhaps a new life has been born and after a certain period of time you will experience the happiness of motherhood.)

Cabbage in all its forms is fresh. Sauerkraut is a source of vitamins of groups C, B and microelements. But sauerkraut also has an extremely positive effect on creating favorable microflora in the intestines - which means your body needs both vitamins and a healthy stomach - less or Don't eat meat at all.

Personally, I don’t understand this because of my acidity.

I may find myself craving sauerkraut once or twice throughout the winter. But at the same time I understand how useful it is. It has everything - vitamins, microelements, helping the intestines cleanse the body.

I understand, but I can’t eat. So you are a happy person.

In general, cabbage is very healthy and tasty. And the fact that you can eat it in huge quantities is a personal feature of your body. And there’s nothing wrong with that, because cabbage in all its forms, continue to eat it for your health!

This is probably the period. Somehow I had pickled cucumbers on the table all week. I ate them with soup, potatoes, and just had a snack. And then it was cut off - I couldn’t look at the pickles for a while. It’s the same for you - apparently your body doesn’t have enough vitamins. And I just want sauerkraut. It will probably go away with time.

The main thing is to eat in moderation. And make sure that there are no adverse reactions such as allergies.

Why women crave sweets: PMS, menopause and sugar.

And at the same time, the effect of sugar on the body becomes more destructive. Let's figure out why the craving for sweets increases with the onset of menopause in women or andropause in men and how hormones affect how much sugar we consume. Hormones are the most important component of our body, so hormonal deficiency or even hormone imbalance can cause a heavy blow physically and emotionally.

When their levels are low, women experience estrogen-related migraines, palpitations and anxiety attacks. After ovulation, estrogen and progesterone levels begin to rise again and symptoms subside. PMS is mainly a lack of progesterone. Progesterone stimulates the brain to produce GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), which acts as a “natural sedative” in the body: it calms you down and helps you fall asleep. If progesterone levels are too low, a woman experiences anxiety and irritability, and may suffer from insomnia. When there is too much progesterone, you may feel depressed. Lack of progesterone often causes cravings for sugar: you want something sweet to relieve it.

My weight loss has slowed down. Weight loss and diets

Why do I eat tea? About yours, about your girl’s

Sometimes I brew tea in a cup (usually green, less often black). After drinking tea, I eat with appetite all the tea leaves that remain at the bottom of the cup. I just can't resist this! Well, at least no one sees! I’m not pregnant (I’ve been eating tea like this for several months now, sometimes more often, sometimes less often). Not sick (so as to think that the body is being treated for something with tea). Why am I so drawn to tea? Does anyone have any hypotheses?

Moreover, the more unusual the desire, the faster it is satisfied, i.e. at one time I wanted to gnaw on orange peels, one orange was enough :) maybe there is something like that in tea too..

I have a version - I’m lazy and I’m too lazy to walk across the entire floor of the TTC to the women’s toilet, but I ate the tea leaves and the cup is clean :)))

Hello, dear girls! I really need your advice on foods for weight loss. I now weigh 97 kg with a height of 165 cm. I understand that I need to lose weight, and I’m trying to do it. But it’s not working yet. I know that it’s a matter of nutrition, but it so happens that I am raising children alone (children are 16 and 12), we have about 15,000= per month for food (Moscow) and we eat mainly porridge, chicken, pasta, rice, buckwheat , cabbage. I buy fruit for the children. Vegetables Meat - rarely, I almost never buy fish, because...

I try not to eat in the evening.

In the morning - an egg and salad, at work - cottage cheese, then lunch - a piece of chicken and salad, in the evening - also cottage cheese with kefir.

Today is day 3.

But I’m terribly hungry!

Write a list of 100 things to do. I’m serious, I need to remember and write down 100 things put off “for later.” Yes, even a button, a torn fastener, even a shelf with papers left unsorted, etc. In the evening, as you want your rice or pasta, roll on some valocardine or glycine (whichever knocks you out of the water better) and while it starts to take effect, take the list in your hands and do something out of it. Well, at least you start doing it.

When you start yawning, go to sleep. It’s very normal to fall asleep on an empty stomach when it takes effect and with a pleasant feeling that I’ve crossed off another line from the list.

The main thing here is not to return to a canceled date with pasta at 3 am. I know this from myself)))

Peanuts, peanut butter.

The desire to chew peanuts, according to scientists, is inherent primarily in residents of megacities. If you have a passion for peanuts and legumes, it means your body is not receiving enough B vitamins.

If the smell of ripe bananas makes you dizzy, then you need potassium. Banana lovers are usually found among those who take diuretics or cortisone drugs, which “eat up” potassium. A banana contains about 600 mg of potassium, which is a quarter of the daily requirement of an adult. However, these fruits are very high in calories. If you are afraid of gaining weight, replace bananas with tomatoes, white beans or figs.

A passion for bacon and other smoked meats usually overcomes people on a diet. Limiting fat-containing foods leads to a decrease in cholesterol levels in the blood, and smoked meats are precisely the product that contains the most saturated fat. If you don’t want to negate the effect of the diet, don’t give in to temptation.

Diet disorders (Protasov). Weight loss and diets

Tell me how you act in the event of a violation or failure on a diet (Protasov) - continue it further or start over. It’s my second week of Protasov and I’m full (ha! I’m drunk.) of hot, freshly baked bread. So, should we start all over again now?

I read someone’s (sorry, I don’t remember the authorship!) very sensible approach: just allow yourself 1 violation a day and not suffer from remorse later. For example, I can afford a piece of chocolate, strawberry or cracker. Or eat some low-fat soup. I also wanted bread after the first week (though I persevered!). Then this desire disappeared somewhere. For 3 weeks I only ate a few grain breads and a couple of crackers, I didn’t eat any bread. And then I ate it simply because my choice of vegetables is small: carrots or bell peppers, I don’t like the rest. You need to eat something. So I wouldn't worry about bread. It must have been delicious :)))))))))

Lack of iodine. Weight loss and diets

Maybe it will be useful to someone. After giving birth - already six years ago - I can’t regain my previous weight, although I constantly fight, needles, diets, massage, hypnosis, sports, etc. Plus, I also constantly wanted to sleep, everything I did was done through force, constantly drinking coffee, energy drinks, and strong vitamins. This year from May! I gained another 10 kg. to the existing extra 20. Generally a guard. Now I’ve been drinking elementary iodomarin for a month, stupidly according to advertising!, and it feels like I woke up. Sleep during the day.

Sometimes it happens that you are on a strict diet, systematically doing physical exercises - but for some reason the hated kilograms do not want to melt away. Why?

The reason for excess weight does not always lie in our diet and physical inactivity. Although these two factors still lead the list of reasons for obesity. But it also happens that the cause of fat accumulation is various kinds of endocrine disorders. One of these disorders is decreased thyroid function, which is so common in Ukraine. And this is not only a problem of aesthetic appearance, but a very real disease that needs treatment.

Here are a few signs that signal us about iodine deficiency in the body and insufficient thyroid function:

Dry skin. With a lack of iodine, this dryness is slightly different from what is meant by “dry skin” in the classical sense of cosmetologists. The first to suffer from dryness are the shins and forearms. The skin becomes dry, rough and acquires a yellowish tint.

Increased fatigue. If there is a lack of iodine in the body, a person gets tired very quickly. I just went to the store to buy bread, and I was tired as if I had been running errands all day. Are you familiar with this condition? Then run to an ultrasound of the thyroid gland.

The appearance of edema. When a visible mark remains on your shin for a long time after pressing, it means that the lack of iodine is already quite noticeable for your body. But you should be wary even if rubber bands from underwear, socks, and watches begin to noticeably imprint on your body - this is already a reason to pay more attention to the iodine content in your diet.

It goes without saying that in order to accurately assess the functioning of your thyroid gland, you need to undergo comprehensive medical examinations: an ultrasound examination of the thyroid gland and a blood test showing hormone levels. But it is entirely possible to conduct a preliminary mini-test at home. To do this, dip a cotton swab in alcohol tincture of iodine and draw a small line on the inside of the forearm. If the iodine content in your body is normal, the streak will last a long time. If there is a significant lack of iodine, the band will disappear literally within one to one and a half hours.

Pregnancy and constipation: how to improve bowel function? 9 tips.

Lots of movement, vegetables, fruits and water. Be careful with medications

There is simply not enough for defecation: constipation occurs. What to do? Sometimes it is enough to adjust your drinking regime to get rid of constipation. Water can also be an excellent “instant” remedy: just in the morning, on an empty stomach, drink a glass of cold water with a spoonful of honey mixed in. What not to do? Try to replenish fluid in the body not with water, but with tea, coffee, cocoa, carbonated drinks, flour and mucous soups. Passive lifestyle Movement is life, this is an axiom. Unfortunately, expectant mothers often feel the desire to lie down and rest: in the first trimester this is facilitated by toxicosis and drowsiness, and as the period increases - frequent ailments, increasing fatigue, and pain in the legs.

Seven vital foods for spring.

Cabbage. In spring, the most deficient element for our body is vitamin C. Its main sources are fresh vegetables and fruits, which, after winter storage, unfortunately, cannot boast of an abundance of useful substances. In early spring, in our middle zone, cabbage becomes the champion in ascorbic acid content. Despite the fact that cabbage loses about 30% of vitamin C during the winter, just 100 grams of this healthy vegetable will provide the body’s daily need for this vitamin. Vitamin C completely.

Because somehow, yes, the child’s spring hunger - in medicine? since we are talking about semolina porridge of such a bright yellow color, like made from durum wheat (I wanted to clarify whether this is crap or in fact and whether it is less harmful :) and how to cook :) - this.

Is it possible for pregnant women... Vegetarianism: benefits and harms.

Meat-free pregnancy: what's missing from plant-based foods?

Taking this into account, vegetarians should be advised to use special supplements during the winter season. Vegetarian diets, typically rich in omega-6 fatty acids, do not contain sufficient amounts of omega-3 fatty acids. Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) are among the most valuable for humans. They not only prevent the accumulation of fat in the body, but are also very important for the formation of the child’s brain and vision, and are useful for cerebral circulation. Vegetarians should definitely include flaxseed oil and flaxseed, walnuts, canola, hemp and soybean oils in their diet. Clinical studies have proven that the level of vitamin B 12 in the body of vegetarians is reduced, since it is not found in plants.

Here soy protein comes to the rescue of vegans, which is absolutely complete in amino acid composition and can, when taken daily during pregnancy, compensate for the increased need for protein. How and what to eat, each person decides for himself. Both plant and animal foods have their pros and cons. I would like to emphasize that doctors have not proven the harm of eating meat in general, but only its excess daily absorption. And not even so much meat as animal fats. Perhaps the most reasonable vegetarian diet for a pregnant woman is a non-strict one, with the consumption of dairy products and eggs. The expectant mother must tell her gynecologist about her vegetarianism, and he, together with a nutritionist, will help create the right diet for the entire nine months of pregnancy.

Did you know? Sauerkraut can retain almost all vitamins and micro- and macroelements for a long time. This ability is enough for six months, or even 8 months.

Chemical characteristics

The wide demand for white cabbage is explained by the significant and harmonious set of nutrients it contains.
The tables show the quantitative values ​​of substances significant for human health that are present in the chemical composition of white cabbage - in three main gastronomic states.

Vitamins and minerals:

The benefits and harms of sauerkraut

• Such a rich vitamin and mineral set of nutrients provides a wide range of qualities beneficial to the human body and helps solve problems with:
• diseases of the gastrointestinal tract;
• dysbacteriosis;
• giardiasis;
• with an increased concentration of “bad” cholesterol in the blood;
• atherosclerosis;
• gout;
• toxicosis;
• mastitis;
• gestational;
• reduced;
• poor metabolism;
• stressful situations;
• hangover syndromes.

• However, sauerkraut, with all its undoubted beneficial qualities, should be consumed with caution or even avoid this vegetable if:
• individual intolerance
• cholecystitis;
• tendency to heartburn;
• increased pH level of gastric juice.

Why do you crave cabbage?

If we exclude the completely understandable craving for a favorite product, then the unbearable desire to taste sauerkraut can be explained:

• vitamin deficiency;
• unhealthy diet;
• low acidity of gastric juice;
• weakened immune system;
• consequences of poisoning of the body.

Avitaminosis

It is caused mainly by a deficiency of ascorbic acid in the body (vitamin C), as well as a lack of some other vitamins and exhibits symptoms in the form of:

• fatigue;
• pale skin;
• frequent manifestations of colds;
• insomnia at night and drowsiness during the day;
• the appearance of small hematomas on the body due to the fragility of the capillaries;
• increased bleeding from the nose and injuries;
• severe headaches and joint pain;
• myalgia.

Problems with the gastrointestinal tract

Inflammatory processes in the gastrointestinal tract lead to an imbalance in the acid balance towards a decrease in the acidity of gastric juice. A person has an increased need for acidic foods, which compensate for the insufficient level of hydrochloric acid production in the body.

In most cases, low acidity is also provoked by dystrophy of the gastric mucosa, which is a harbinger. In addition, excessive cravings for sour foods are often caused by problems in the activity of the bile ducts and liver.

Important!When tartonic acid is formed in cabbage, which is not present in fresh vegetables. This acid not only prevents the formation of new fat in the body, but also breaks down old deposits, which is undesirable for thin people, but very useful for those who are obese.

Poor nutrition

An unbalanced diet, an inadequate diet, depleted by the absence of essential vitamins and minerals, very often provoke an increased tendency to consume acidic foods, including very often sauerkraut. Weight loss diets based on eating the same type of foods often lead to poor nutrition.

In addition, people who, in pursuit of a healthy diet, often exclude many foods from their diet, really crave something sour. This, of course, contributes to the overall health of the body, but significantly impoverishes the palette of tastes available to the taste buds.

As a result, signals are sent to the brain demanding that the diet be enriched with something sour or spicy.

To do this, cabbage can not only be fermented, but also pickled. A similar process occurs when eating hard-to-digest foods, when the body “calls on” acidic foods to help.

Infectious diseases

When inflammatory processes caused by infectious exposure occur in the human body, this leads to an increase in temperature. In the process of combating this problem, the body produces interferon, for which it requires an increased amount of ascorbic acid, which is not enough in this situation.

As a result, the patient has a pronounced need for sauerkraut as a proven source of vitamin C.

In addition, even if an infection enters the body, which has not yet led to visible symptoms of a cold, the body can proactively “request” a fermented product to suppress the source of infection.

Often, the urgent need for sauerkraut is not caused by a love for this popular product, but by other reasons, provoked by poor nutrition or external factors such as infections. In most cases, small but regular portions of ordinary sauerkraut radically help solve the problem.

I want something...
A strong craving for certain foods is a kind of signal: the body lets us know that it is missing something. What do the most common food cravings signal?
Peanuts, peanut butter.
The desire to chew peanuts, according to scientists, is inherent primarily in residents of megacities. If you have a craving for peanuts as well as legumes, it means your body is not getting B vitamins.
Bananas.
If the smell of ripe bananas makes you dizzy, then you need potassium. Banana lovers are usually found among those who take diuretics or cortisone drugs, which “eat up” potassium. A banana contains about 600 mg of potassium, which is a quarter of the daily requirement of an adult. However, these fruits are very high in calories. If you are afraid of gaining weight, replace bananas with tomatoes, white beans or figs.
Bacon.
A passion for bacon and other smoked meats usually overcomes people on a diet. Limiting fat-containing foods leads to a decrease in blood cholesterol levels, and smoked meats are precisely the product that contains the most saturated fat. If you don’t want to negate the effect of the diet, don’t give in to temptation.
Melon.
Melons contain a lot of potassium, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, as well as vitamins A and C. People with weak nervous and cardiovascular systems have a special need for them. By the way, half an average melon contains no more than 100 kcal, so you won’t be afraid of extra pounds.
Sour fruits and berries.
Cravings for lemons, cranberries, etc. observed during colds, when a weakened body experiences an increased need for vitamin C and potassium salts. Those who have problems with the liver and gall bladder are also drawn to sour things.
Paints, plaster, earth, chalk.
The desire to chew all this usually occurs in children, teenagers and pregnant women. It indicates a deficiency of calcium and vitamin D, which occurs during the period of intensive growth in children and the formation of the fetal skeletal system during pregnancy. Add dairy products, eggs, butter and fish to your diet - this can easily correct the situation.
Onions, garlic, spices and seasonings.
As a rule, people with respiratory problems experience an urgent need for spices. If a person is craving garlic and onions and spreads mustard on his bread instead of jam, he may have some kind of respiratory disease on his nose. Apparently, in this way - with the help of phytoncides - the body tries to protect itself from infection.
Milk and dairy products.
Lovers of fermented milk products, especially cottage cheese, are most often people in need of calcium. A sudden love for milk can also arise due to a lack of essential amino acids - tryptophan, lysine and leucine.
Ice cream.
Ice cream, like other dairy products, is a good source of calcium. But people with impaired carbohydrate metabolism, suffering from hypoglycemia or diabetes have a special love for it. Psychologists see love for ice cream as a manifestation of longing for childhood.
Seafood.
A constant craving for seafood, especially mussels and seaweed, is observed with iodine deficiency. such people need to buy iodized salt.
Olives and olives.
The love for olives and olives (as well as pickles and marinades) arises due to a lack of sodium salts. In addition, addiction to salty foods occurs in people with thyroid dysfunction.
Cheese.
It is loved by those who need calcium and phosphorus. Try replacing cheese with cabbage and broccoli - it contains much more of these substances and almost no calories.
Butter.
A craving for it is observed among vegetarians, whose diet is low in fat, and among residents of the North who lack vitamin D.
Sunflower seeds.
The desire to chew the seeds most often arises among smokers who are in dire need of antioxidant vitamins, which sunflower seeds are rich in.
Chocolate.
The love for chocolate is a universal phenomenon. However, caffeine addicts and those whose brains especially need glucose love chocolate more than others.

Craving something salty? Boost your immunity

The strong desire to devour a kilo of pickles and snack on a bar of dark chocolate visits not only women in an “interesting position.” Taste preferences can tell you a lot about your health.
So, if lately you have been terribly drawn to:
SWEET. Perhaps you are working your butt off and have already gotten on your nerves. Glucose is actively involved in the production of the stress hormone - adrenaline. Therefore, with nervous and mental overstrain, sugar is consumed faster, and the body constantly requires new portions.
In such a situation, treating yourself to sweets is not a sin. But it’s better not to gobble up pieces of rich cakes (they contain a lot of heavy carbohydrates), but limit yourself to chocolate or marshmallows.
SALT. If you attack pickled cucumbers, tomatoes and herring like a beast, if the food always seems under-salted, we may be talking about an exacerbation of old inflammation or the emergence of a new source of infection in the body.
Practice shows that most often these problems are associated with the genitourinary system - cystitis, prostatitis, inflammation of the appendages, etc.
You also crave salty foods when your immune system is weakened.
SOUR. This is often a signal of low stomach acidity. This happens with gastritis with insufficient secretory function, when little gastric juice is produced. This can be checked using gastroscopy.
Also, food with a sour taste has cooling, astringent properties, helps relieve colds and fever, and stimulates appetite.
BITTER. Perhaps this is a signal of intoxication of the body after an untreated illness or slagging of the digestive system.
If you often want something with a bitter taste, it makes sense to arrange fasting days and engage in cleansing procedures.
BURNING. The dish seems bland until you throw half a pepper shaker into it, but your feet lead you to a Mexican restaurant? This may mean that you have a “lazy” stomach; it digests food slowly and needs a stimulus to do so. And hot spices and spices stimulate digestion.
Also, the need for spicy food may signal a violation of lipid metabolism and an increase in the amount of “bad” cholesterol. Spicy food thins the blood, promotes the removal of fats, and “cleanses” blood vessels. But at the same time it irritates the mucous membrane. So don't load up on chili and salsa on an empty stomach.
Astringent. If you suddenly have an unbearable desire to put a handful of bird cherry berries in your mouth or you can’t calmly pass by persimmons, your defenses are weakening and urgently need replenishment.
Products with an astringent taste promote the division of skin cells (help heal wounds) and improve complexion. They help stop bleeding (for example, with fibroids), remove phlegm in case of bronchopulmonary problems.
But astringent foods thicken the blood - this can be dangerous for people with increased blood clotting and a tendency to form blood clots (varicose veins, hypertension, some heart diseases).
FRESH. The need for such food often arises with gastritis or stomach ulcers with high acidity, constipation, as well as problems with the liver and gall bladder.
Fresh food weakens, helps relieve cramping pain, and soothes the stomach.
But if all the food seems bland and tasteless to you, then we may be talking about a form of depression with impaired taste perception.

Passion is salty and sharp
If you are drawn to a specific product, determine what attracts you to it. For example, when you feel an irresistible desire to eat a piece of salami or are ready to give your life for a bag of salted pistachios, this does not always mean that your body urgently needs sausage or nuts. Most likely he lacks salt.

*** Salt your food in moderation and don’t get carried away with salt-free diets. According to recent studies, 1 gram of salt, if slowly dissolved in the mouth after lunch, promotes good digestion and absorption of foods. Of course, this advice can only be used by those who have no indication for salt restriction.

Chocolate-sweet passion
More often than others, caffeine fans and those whose brains especially need glucose suffer from “chocolate addiction.” This also applies to other sweets. If you eat an unbalanced diet, your body will also need glucose - as the fastest source of energy. Namely, chocolate copes with this task perfectly. But keep in mind that this product contains a lot of fat, the excess of which is dangerous for your blood vessels and figure.

*** Eat more vegetables and cereals - they are rich in complex carbohydrates. And for dessert, choose dried fruits or honey with a small amount of nuts.

Cheese passion
Spicy, salty, with or without spices... You cannot live a day without it, its taste drives you crazy - you are ready to consume kilograms of it (in any case, you eat at least 100 g per day). Nutritionists claim that cheese is loved by those who have an urgent need for calcium and phosphorus. Of course, cheese is the richest source of these much-needed and extremely beneficial substances for the body, but fats...

*** Try replacing cheese with broccoli cabbage - it has a lot of calcium and phosphorus, but almost no calories. If your body accepts milk well, drink 1-2 glasses a day, and eat cheese little by little (no more than 50 g per day) and together with raw vegetables.

Passion sour lemon
Perhaps your diet is dominated by difficult-to-digest foods, and the body is trying to increase the acidity of gastric juice to make its work easier. When you have a cold, you may also be drawn to sour fruits and berries - an excellent source of vitamin C.

*** Choose meals with moderate fat content and do not mix many foods in one sitting. Avoid fried, overly salted and overly spicy foods, as well as those that have undergone excessive heat treatment. If you notice problems with digestion (especially in the liver and gallbladder), be sure to be examined by a gastroenterologist.

Smoked passion
A passion for smoked meats and similar delicacies usually overcomes those who are on an overly strict diet. Long-term restriction of fat-containing foods in the diet leads to a decrease in the level of “good” cholesterol in the blood, and smoked meats contain a sufficient amount of saturated fat.

*** Don't get carried away with low-fat foods - choose one that still contains a little fat. For example, buy yogurt, kefir or fermented baked milk with one or two percent fat. Eat at least a tablespoon of vegetable oil and a teaspoon of butter per day, even if you are on a strict diet. Scientists have experimentally proven that those who consume a sufficient amount of fat lose weight faster.

Food passions and diseases
Onions, garlic, spices and seasonings. An urgent need for these foods and spices usually indicates problems with the respiratory system.
Olives and olives. Such an addiction is possible due to a disorder of the thyroid gland.
Ice cream. People with carbohydrate metabolism disorders, hypoglycemia or diabetes mellitus have a special love for it.
Bananas. If the smell of ripe bananas makes you dizzy, pay attention to the state of your heart.
Sunflower seeds. The desire to chew seeds most often occurs among those who are in dire need of antioxidant vitamins. This means that there are a lot of free radicals in your body - the main provocateurs of premature aging.
