We’ve all experience this before! You’re just sitting around, minding your own business, and then out of nowhere, you get hit with this intense craving for a slice of pizza or a piece of chocolate. You know those random moments when you just can't stop thinking about something specific to eat, even if you're not really hungry? Well, we’re going to dig into why that happens and what it actually means about what your body needs. Plus, we'll share some tips on how to satisfy these cravings without going overboard.

Welcome to the High Blood Pressure Wellness Lifestyle Podcast, where your journey toward a healthier, more vibrant life takes center stage. I'm Donna Williams, your host and guide, Certified Holistic Health Coach, and passionate advocate for transforming lives through mindful, practical approaches to health.

What Causes Cravings? Sometimes we see or smell things that makes our mouth water and you instantly feel hungry even if you just had something to eat.

What Cravings Mean and How to Satisfy Them: Hormones, emotions, physical needs, or psychological factors such as stress or boredom may trigger them.

Psychological Cravings:  Our emotions; when we're feeling stressed, lonely, or bored, a craving for comfort food can settle in.

Nutritional Cravings:  Your body needs something it isn't getting from your diet.

Hormonal Cravings: Hormones like estrogen and progesterone.

How To Satisfy Cravings Healthier:  Understanding why and what triggers them.
