You hear a lot about vitamins and minerals, but do you have any idea if you are getting what you need? For the most part, you probably are. However, there are times when we don’t, and this direct us to a fascinating theory. My mom gave me a book she had read a while back, and it claimed that people who do not get enough vitamins and minerals each day not only get sick much easier, they also walk around with strange cravings.

I read the book and it got me thinking about a teacher I had in fifth grade. This guy was your typical teacher, even if he was not very energetic. Many times he would eat the chalk he had in the class room. I never considered there was be a reason why he did it even though we thought it was funny at the time. Could it have something to do with the quantity of vitamins and minerals in his diet? I am not sure, but this book told me it was. It’s a fascinating theory. Our bodies do crave vitamins and minerals we aren’t getting, but would it make us eat chalk?

So this might be the explanation why you demand certain foods. That’s definitely not as awful as eat chalk, but this could explain odd cravings, especially during pregnancy. Expecting women require more vitamins and minerals than anybody, and they need to be sure they get them. Do they have to ask for Italian dressing and hotdogs in the middle of the night if they aren’t getting the vitamins and minerals for themselves as well as what they need for their growing baby? I am not sure.
