Preventing Alcohol Cravings
There are certain things that what we eat and our craving for alcohol have in common, but unfortunately there is no short cut to giving up alcohol as only changing are eating habits is not enough, as we have to get medical treatment and dietary supplements.
There is a fairly large amount of research about the potential benefits of nutritional supplements during periods of alcohol withdrawal. The greatest focus here has been on the B-complex vitamins, although all of the major vitamins (vitamins A, C, D, and E in addition to the B-complex vitamins) have been found to play a potentially helpful role.
A really helpful finding for reducing cravings for alcohol is just by cutting right back on caffine and sugar, as it was found they actually cause alcohol craving. I am afraid that when we use the term sugar that it also includes desserts, tarts, sweets and fizzy drinks. You should also take in smaller quantities of fruit and juices as well as sugar in your tea and coffee.
In the case of caffeine, the benefits would come from elimination of caffeinated sodas; elimination of coffee or tea, unless decaffeinated; and elimination of chocolate, except in fairly small amounts (like 3-4 small chocolate squares). Both simple sugars and caffeine can have an impact on your blood sugar regulation, and this connection with blood sugar is interesting, because there has been some evidence in the research that stabilizing blood sugar can help reduce alcohol (sugar) SS cravings. In summary, although it can be difficult to steer clear of these two substances, the research suggests that it’s worth it in terms of alcohol craving.
The other important step to take is to make sure you are taking on a lot of nutrient-rich foods so that body really does feel good and you have full strength both mentally and physically, and also internally so that your liver can deal with the detoxification processes.
The only way to achieve this objective is by eating as healthily as possible as healthy food sources contain the majority of the nutrients that we require to meet our goals. We will probably have extremely low stocks of all the basic vitamins and minerals as alcohol has a way of depleting them, so let’s make a real effort for once and get healthy.
