Answer #1

Yes, you may need to see a doctor. When you crave something constantly that is your body’s way of telling you that you are lacking something in your body that it needs.

Answer #3

I have iron deficiency anemia, and there’s a condition known as PICA, when you crave strange things, from ice, to salt, to even worse things like paint chips and hair! YUK! Whenever my iron levels get low, I know its coming, because I crave salt in the worst way, like drinking pickle juice, eating salt/vinegar chips, and sometimes just munching on straight rock salt! I know its time to beat street to the HEMATOLOGIST, a blood doctor, who checks my levels regularly. You need to make an appt. with one, or just your family doctor, to get your blood levels checked. Strangely, the body knows what it needs, and sends out the signals, we just need to pay attention to it. GOOD LUCK!

In the time of Bantu Migrations in Africa around 1300-ish, salt was worth more then gold in some places. This is because salt is used to replace your bodys nutrients, thats when you work out, people say to drink Gatorade (it has salt in it) so if your a really athletic person and always moving it’s not a bad thing to have a lot of salt. But if you sit around and drink gatorade and salt and don’t burn it off then it will accumilate.
