                                According to nutritionists and medical experts, a persistent craving for oily foods can signal an underlying deficiency in essential fatty acids (EFAs), vitamins A, D, E, and K, or even minerals like calcium. This can be a subconscious way your body prompts you to seek out nutrient-dense fats that are vital for brain function, hormone production, and cellular health.
