Food cravings are often seen as a weakness, something that we should be able to control with our willpower. But cravings may actually be our body's way of trying to tell us something.

For example, studies have shown that cravings can signify that we're not getting enough of certain nutrients or that we're feeling stressed or emotionally depleted. In other words, cravings might be our body's way of telling us that we need to make some changes in our diet or lifestyle.

So next time you are hit with a strong craving, try to listen to what your body is telling you. It might just be trying to lead you towards healthier eating habits.
