When craving unhealthy foods, replace them with these

[Retro]

Here's a whole bunch of suggestions.

While we may crave specific foods all year-round, typically, our hankerings for comfort food tend to step up a notch in winter.

It's not always a physical need that inspires these tastes, however. Yes, cold weather can mean we use more energy and need food to help conserve heat, but often our cravings can be more psychological – an emotional support when we're feeling low.

That said, if our cravings are for unhealthy foods that contain high amounts of sugar, fat, and salt, we may end up feeling worse, as we are not nourishing our bodies correctly.

Pure chocolate (like 80%) in small quantities is actually quite beneficial! It provides antioxidants, improves heart health, boosts mood, enhances brain function, supports metabolism, and supplies essential minerals daily naturally.
The more you know.

Oh, yeah, that's right. That's a little translation hiccup on my end. What you call dark chocolate in my language we call that pure chocolade, even though it's not literally "pure", but it's just our way of saying dark chocolate, lol.

If you gave that to me, it would, um, disappear...
