sugar cravings

Actually if you can find it in your heart to give up sugar, the
craving does dissipate after awhile. Then when you have
something with sugar in it, it does not leave a comfortable
aftertaste. You will find a disdain attitude towards the way
it makes you feel, tired, leaves an aftertaste, makes you
thirsty, packs on empty calorie weight, is not good for your
teeth, and leaves your tongue insensitive to taste as if there
were a coating on it. It will become a craving again if you let it.

Try the mineral Chromium 200 mcg daily. It is easy to find
where vitamins are sold. That mineral will help decrease the
sugar cravings because it is involved in the metabolism of
glucose. Sometimes it is called glucose tolerance factor or GTF
which is needed for energy. It is also vital in the synthesis of
cholesterol, fats, and protein. This essential mineral maintains
stable blood sugar levels through proper insulin utilization, and
can be helpful both for people with diabetes and those with
hypoglycemia. Studies have shown that low plasma chromium
levels can be an indication of coronary artery disease. Chromium
picolinate has been used successfully to control blood cholesterol
and blood glucose levels. It also promotes the loss of fat and an
increase in lean muscle tissue. Studies show it may increase
longevity and help to fight osteoporosis.

Always check with your doctor before taking anything. You can
get too much vitamins and minerals in your system if not taken
according to your needs. Excessive intake can led to chromium
toxicity, which has been associated with dermatitis, gastrointestinal
ulcers, and kidney and liver impairment. A deficiency of chromium
can led to anxiety, fatigue, glucose intolerance (particularly in people
with diabetes), inadequate metabolism of amino acids, and an
increased risk of arteriosclerosis.

Don't think by being young one may be excluded from the needed
daily dosage of vitamins and minerals as a supplement along with
the suggested pyramid servings of fruits and vegetables. The
best medicine is always preventive procedures.

After my dumb story yesterday about my pizza fiasco this post
now sounds a little too lettered. (Back to my diary style.)
