Endocrinologist: a strong desire for something sweet may be a consequence of a lack of trace elements.

The doctor explained in an interview what may be behind a sudden craving for salty or sweet. According to the doctor, more often people feel a strong urge to eat some sweet treats or chocolate. The specialist stated that this may indicate a lack of vitamins.

As for the craving for salty foods, she often says that a person drinks too little fluid. Trying to replenish the moisture level, the brain activates neural signals that cause a desire for salty taste. Eating foods with excessive amounts of salt automatically leads to more frequent drinking.

“To feel good and comfortable, a person must drink a certain amount of fluid. Usually they talk about the calculation of 30 milliliters per kilogram of weight,” the doctor said.
