Most
doctors believe that cravings can be nutritionally
based. It could be a message from your body on what it
needs to eat. If you are craving salty foods it could be
because your body needs more sodium as your blood volume
increases. If you are craving fruit, your body might
need more vitamins C. The problem is sometimes the
message gets lost on the way to our brain. You may find
yourself craving something sweet and instead of getting
berries or fruit, you find yourself gulping down snicker
bars.

Yes You Can
Change
is not easy. Change requires energy and focus and
sustained attention. Change is something that sounds
good when someone else says it. Change can fight you.
Change can be elusive. Change wears many disguises.
Change starts from our core, not our minds. Change is
freely available when we want to grab it.
Its the way of life.
Things don’t change for you, you must change it. Change
the mindset. Change the situation that you are in. And
it’s very simple, all you need to do is take a
decision.. Yes I Will Change.
If you decide-Yes You Can then there’s no force in the
universe that can stop you from changing for good.

along the entire length of our digestive tract.
