Curb Cravings With Quinoa Quinoa, an Ancient Grain (Seed) Quinoa is a “rediscovered” grain that has many health benefits. You pronounce Quinoa as “Keen-Wa”. This ancient food was once considered to be “the gold of the Incas” and is finding its way back into the modern diet.

When you drink caffeinated drinks like coffee, tea and most sodas, the caffeine in the drink causes increased neuron activity in your brain, which in turn results in the release of a hormone we all know well – adrenalin. This is exactly why caffeine gets us wide-awake and alert in the morning, isn’t it? Well, unfortunately it isn’t such a great thing for your body. As the adrenal high wears off, you start to feel tired, irritated, confused and may experience a headache. Th... Why Do I Have Alcohol Cravings? Craving alcohol is a complicated process that involves several different factors. We are usually first introduced to alcohol at a young age (in our teens).

Chocolate also contains anandamide, a chemical that acts like THC, the active ingredient in marijuana. This, in additio... Why Do I Have Salt Cravings? There are several different reasons why you may be craving salt. The first one is that over the years your body and your taste buds have been accustomed to a lot of salt. If you are trying to cut back on salt because of health reasons, your body will crave it, simply because it is used to lots of salt.

Two of the major “feel-good” chemicals released by eating sugar are: 1. Dopamine, which releases chemicals including endorphins that give us a feeling of pleasure 2.
