Craving something sweet?

There is a strong link between food and mood and often people experience intense cravings for sweets or find they need starches when they have anxiety or low energy. Often, if you experience intense cravings for sweets or starches, glutamine may help.

Glutamine is an amino acid with roles in immune and intestinal health. It is produced naturally by the body, but sometimes the body needs more than it can make. Glutamine is high in animal products, but can also be found in tofu, corn and rice.

When blood sugar decreases, glutamine provides energy for the brain and helps reduce carvings for sugar and carbohydrates. Take the glutamine capsules in between meals, and for quick relief, open a glutamine capsule and put the powder directly on your tongue.
