Sweet Cravings Often Results in

Vitamin & Mineral Deficiency  

      Ever notice how someone can fill up on junk food and still be hungry? It is the body's way of saying, "OK, you have feed your face, but I haven't eaten yet. SO FEED ME!"  Eating foods void of vitamins and nutrients does nothing to give the body what it needs to keep things running properly. All it does is hamper digestion, the immune system, and rob the body of energy. Granted, young people can often get away with a lot more of this kind of self abuse than  people as they get older. Younger people are usually more physically active. The movement of energy aids digestion. And people in their late 20's and early 30's usually have three times the pancreatic (digestive) enzymes that a person in their 70's does, so their digestive function is typically stronger. But eating food void of nutrients, like most snack and breakfast foods eaten in the US, set people up for health problems long term and can initiate food cravings and binging. Eating the good stuff first, the food the body wants and needs, cuts down on sweet and junk food cravings.
