Choosing fresh and natural foods when you are craving something a little sweet is not only a whole
lot better for you, it may also help curb your sweet carvings altogether. Try some of these sugar craving solutions next time you
feel the need for sweet satisfaction.
One reason why you crave for sugar is because of a chromium deficiency. Chromium is a metal which is seen as a very important trace element
in your body. This metal is also very essential in the metabolism of fats and proteins as well as carbohydrates...
In simple terms, Leptin is a hormone...
...often associated with another hormone named, ghrelin.
Together these two hormones drive hunger and appetite [2]. Leptin is a protein that is produced, and secreted, by
your fat cells [1]. The amount of leptin produced within the fat cells is directly proportionate to the triglyceride content, of
these fat cells. Under a microscope, fat cells look like swollen little spheres. Each cell has a cell membrane (a barrier) and a
nucleus (containing the genetic material that controls the activities of the cell), but their bulk is made up of droplets of stored
triglycerides, which look similar in consistency to most plant oils we use. For example, olive oil or peanut oil [3]. Most
weight loss and weight gain occur when these fat cells expand and shrink, as the energy inside is stored or burned [3].

This salad is delightfully nourishing and gives you all the benefits of kale, without the digestive distress. When you massage kale you
break down some of the tough fibres in the cell wall that make raw kale hard to digest.
When I started eating a cleaner, more raw diet, I couldn’t digest kale very well. It upset my digestion and I didn’t get what all the fuss
was about. If this happens to you the solution is to either steam your kale or massage it. This recipe is one of my favorite’s because you
still get all the amazing benefits of raw kale: the enzymes, magnesium, vitamin C and more.
