Pregnancy cravings

Sometimes, you feel like eating ice cream in the middle of the night.🍨 You want weird combinations of food or non-food items such as chalk, dirt. 

Some cravings are worth paying attention to.🍲 If you're suddenly addicted to laundry starch and dirt or clay, you might suffer from iron or zinc deficiency. A craving for red meat can be a transparent need for protein supply.🥩 

These connections between what you crave and what you need are not scientifically approved. There is no clear explanation for food cravings.😃

What to do about cravings

The best solution is to eat what you want, satisfy yourself with your favorite food and indulge in moderation.🙆‍♀️ Don't overeat anything because a healthy diet that meets all nutritional and emotional requirements is the most important thing.😃 

If you crave nonfood items, you should talk to your healthcare provider. These items are not meant to be human-friendly as an edible so make sure you discuss with your doctors before deciding to consume them.👩‍⚕️⚠️
