Tag: Craving salty food

According to the American Heart Association, nine out of ten Americans consume too much sodium, yet many still experience intense cravings for salty foods like chips. While a desire for a savory snack is often harmless, a persistent craving could be your body's way of signaling an underlying physical or emotional need.

According to research, food cravings are often your body's way of communicating a need for specific nutrients or to counteract an imbalance. So, if you keep asking, "why can't I stop craving pickles?" your body could be signaling a need for salt or hydration.
