If a person is full, but still wants to constantly eat a chocolate bar, cake or any other dessert, then this is a sign of health problems.

Irina Nikulina spoke about this in more detail.

The therapist noted that it is necessary to first take tests, check the sugar level. The pancreas is responsible for it. If you constantly want sweets, then the problems may be with it.

“Another reason for the desire for sweets is intestinal dysbacteriosis,” the Prime publication quotes the doctor as saying.

In addition, as Nikulina noted during a conversation with journalists, a craving for sweet foods can be justified by a deficiency of vitamins and beneficial microelements.

Here, too, you can’t do without tests and a medical examination.

You also want to eat something sweet on days when you are stressed.

Stress hormones increase hunger and cravings for high-calorie foods.

If you have problems with sleep, for example, due to lack of sleep, you also want to eat candy or cake.
