How I conqueror the craving for salt….

One of the cravings I had to conqueror is salt. When I am stressed a work or life, I immediately start to crave salty snacks. I would walk right to the vending machine and purchase my favorite bag of chips. Dealing with stress at the job was difficulty for me. As I mentioned in an early post it took pray, mediation and exercise that enable me to deal with it. I made sure every morning I would pray and read scriptures to refocus my minds, and I joined cycling class in the evening to release any tension.

Even though I did these things, and gain control over how I reacted to stress. I still craved salty snacks. So then I did some researching, and found that craving salt means you are lacking minerals. So I started drinking veggie/fruit smoothie two times a daily and eat a vegetable based diet. I find the more I drink the smoothies, I did not crave salt. I know this is drastic, and some of you have busy schedules. Here is a tip....gradually start with veggie/fruit smoothies, try kale/spinach, pineapple, strawberry and red apple to start then gradually added more vegetables once a week. Drink 1 veggie/fruit smoothie for dinner and used a multivitamin with minerals,gradually increase to two smoothies after 30 days so your digestive system can get used to it.

When I first started my healthy journey, I started with a multivitamin until I was able to added more veggies smoothies and eat a vegetable/fruit base diet. Working at a computer all day, my eyes would tire quickly and mentally at the end of the day I would be in a fog. But taking vitamins and drinking veggie/fruit smoothies helped a lot. I am more alert, energized and at the end of the day there was no fog.

I hope this helps! if there is anything else you would like to know, comment below!
