What are your cravings telling you?
watchfit.com tells us that if your body is craving sweet foods its asking for more energy. When sugar is digested, it becomes glucose, which is fuel for all of the body’s cells. As much as possible, try to satisfy the sweet cravings with more mild, natural foods like sweet vegetables and fruits.
