If you're craving...salt You need: salt (but not table salt)
It seems impossible that any of us would have a sodium deficiency considering there's salt in almost everything we eat. But Paul C. Eck, founder of Analytical Research Laboratories, says that table salt is stripped of the healthy minerals we need.
To fix this problem, he recommends using natural sea salt whenever you can (it's less refined than table salt). You should also boost your intake of manganese (found in leafy greens and berries), and vitamins B1, B5, C, and E, since all of these nutrients can help with sodium retention.
theory... but a lot of the replacement foods and nutrients are slow-working. let's admit that sometimes when we crave chocolate, it's CHOCOLATE that we want
