Well, let me tell ya, this “you intensly” thing, it’s like when you gotta have somethin’ real bad, you know? Like when you’re achin’ for a piece of candy or somethin’ sweet, that’s what they call “cravin’.” It ain’t just hunger, it’s more than that. It’s like your body’s yellin’ at ya, “Gimme that!”
What Makes You Want Stuff So Bad?
Now, them smart doctors, they say it’s got to do with somethin’ called “serotonin.” Sounds fancy, right? Well, it’s this stuff in your brain that makes you feel good. When you don’t have enough of it, you start feelin’ down, anxious, like you can’t sleep. And that’s when the cravin’s hit. Your body thinks, “Hey, maybe sugar will make me feel better!” So, you reach for that cookie, that cake, that soda pop.
- Serotonin low, makes ya feel low.
- Feelin’ low, makes ya want sweet stuff.
- Sweet stuff makes ya feel good for a bit, then you want more.
It’s a whole mess, I tell ya. Like a dog chasin’ its tail.
Stress and Wantin’ Things
And it ain’t just serotonin. Stress plays a big part too. When you’re all worked up, your body gets tired of fightin’. Sugar, it kinda calms things down for a bit. It’s like puttin’ a band-aid on a big ol’ cut. Doesn’t fix the problem, but it feels better for a little while. So, when you’re stressed, you crave that sugar, that comfort food. It’s like a warm blanket on a cold night.
This Craving Thing, It Ain’t Just Sugar
Now, most folks think cravin’s just about sugar. But it ain’t always that simple. Sometimes you crave other things too. Like salty stuff, or greasy stuff. Some folks even crave dirt! Can you believe that? Dirt! But mostly, it’s the unhealthy stuff. The chips, the fries, the candy bars. The stuff that ain’t good for ya, but tastes so darn good.
Sometimes Your Body’s Tellin’ You Somethin’
And sometimes, your cravin’s might mean your body needs somethin’ else. Like, if you’re cravin’ chocolate, maybe you need more magnesium. Magnesium is this thing that helps your muscles and nerves work right. And chocolate’s got some of it. So, if you’re always cravin’ chocolate, maybe you ain’t gettin’ enough magnesium in your food. You should eat more fruits and veggies, they say. But who wants to eat a salad when you can have a candy bar, right?
Fruits are okay too I guess
Oh, fruits are good too, they say. If you are craving sugar sometimes fruits can fix it too. At least it is better than eating too much candy.
What to do About It?
So, what do you do about these cravin’s? Well, it ain’t easy, I tell ya. It’s like tryin’ to stop a train with your bare hands. But you gotta try. You gotta find ways to deal with the stress. Maybe take a walk, listen to some music, talk to a friend. And you gotta eat healthy, even when you don’t want to. Lots of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean meats. And you gotta try to cut back on the sugar. It ain’t easy, but it’s worth it. You’ll feel better, have more energy, and maybe even live longer. And that’s more important than any piece of candy, I reckon.
It is a hard thing to do, but try your best
Like I said, it is not easy to stop yourself from intense craving. But you should try your best. If you can’t stop it then at least try to eat something better instead of eating pure unhealthy junk food. Fruits are good. And try to be happy, that way you won’t be stressed and craving will be less I think.
