How To Prevent Alcohol Cravings
While there are links between what you eat and your cravings for alcohol, it's important to put the food issues into context, because in some circumstances foods can do very little to help with alcohol withdrawal or alcohol avoidance. Other lifestyle changes, medical treatment, or therapeutic-dose dietary supplements are needed.
There have been a lot a studies carried out on just which nutritional supplements help most during alcohol withdrawal time periods and the results show that it is in fact the B-complex vitamins that make the biggest difference, although positive responses were also recognised through vitamins A,C,D and E.
A really helpful finding for reducing cravings for alcohol is just by cutting right back on caffeine 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.
Caffeine too needs to be cut right out of the diet meaning no less then zero tea and coffee (unless it is decaf), and just to add insult to injury chocolate is also on the list, so just a couple of squares if you get really desperate. Funnily enough it has been proved that simple sugars and caffeine affect the blood sugar regulation and that if we are able to control the blood sugar level, we will actually reduce the alcohol (sugar) SS cravings. In a nutshell, if you are able to forget about caffeine and sugar then you are on the road to reducing 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.
